I would like to send both of them a copy of Gene Sharps booklet From Dictatorship to Democracy.
You can read it at this link, no download needed.

I really dont know how else to get it to them. I think they need this and his other booklet, The Anti-Coup.

These are pragmatic tools to protect our democratic institutions.
Dr Sharp was a prof in Peace Studies here at the University of Hawaii before he founded the Albert Einstein institution. In his lifetime he gave a great deal of thought to how we could encounter and prevail against a situation exactly like the one we find ourselves in today. His work has been translated in more than 25 languages and used for liberation around the world but he is still relatively unknown outside of Peace Studies circles.
Please pm me if you can help get these booklets to their staff.
Thanks very much in advance, aloha.
PS Ordinarily I would go through my representative but thats Tulsi Gabbard, so here I am.
Pps Barack Obamas sister Maya is now a UH prof in the same department

(17,646 posts)Id like to get Gene Sharps two booklets into their hands. I think it could help.
Im assuming mailing them wouldnt get through. Maybe Im wrong about that. It would sure be easier.
No doubt someone here either is a staffer or knows one. Please pm me!
