Roxanna,
 
So why don't you summarize the 5-6 main points of the book so we know what  
you're concerned about?  Then we can have a dialogue.

Greetings, friends and colleagues --

As you know, I NEVER -  well, almost never - initiate a conversation on this 
listserve, but I am moved  to do so now by having just read John Perkins' 
book, "CONFESSIONS OF AN  ECONOMIC HIT MAN."  I want to strongly encourage you to 
read it if you  have not already done so.

It is a frightening and sober account of our  foreign and economic policies 
and one which I believe the leaders and citizens  of the United States need to 
be aware of.  Working together, we can  reverse this inexorable push of our 
government and corporations toward  globalization and this book can help us do 
that.

I, for one, will be  working toward this reversal by:
1)  e-mailing my senators and  congressman about this book
2)  telling my friends and family about  this book and encouraging them to act
3)  talking about this book to  the groups with which I am associated, and
4)  encouraging my pastor  to read this book and promoting it as THE summer 
reading book for our  congregation, to be followed in the fall by a series of 
discussion  sessions.

I hope you will read this book and work in whatever way you  are able toward 
realizing the TRUE American dream of a just and compassionate  world.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Grace and  peace,
Roxana
