SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS

I read this book about five years ago and am now reading it again. It's well-written, well-documented and as enjoyable the second time as it was the first. From vote fraud, to how they keep getting re-elected, it's all in this book. I highly recommend it.

Underappreciated book now very timely!

I first read this book a couple years ago and was very impressed with the thoroughness of the authors' research. They make some very forceful points but they provide all the evidence needed to back them up.The chapter on Voter Fraud in particular is now quite timely. They point out that voter fraud is rampant throughout the U.S., but somehow the media rarely talks about it. Now everyone is shocked about the goings-on in the Presidential election in Florida, but if more people had acted on the findings in Dirty Little Secrets perhaps we'd have reformed things by now.
