 Lakshmi Chaudhry, and Peter Laufer \n\nNaomi Wolf, celebrated feminist, 
 social critic and political activist, is the author of “The Beauty 
 Myth” (deemed by The New York Times one of the most important books of 
 the century), “Fire With Fire: The New Female Power and Promiscuities: 
 The Secret Struggle for Womanhood.” Ms. Wolf has also written for The New 
 Republic and The Wall Street Journal.  \n  \nDaniel Ellsberg is a former 
 American military analyst employed by the RAND corporation who precipitated 
 a national uproar in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, a 
 top-secret Pentagon study of government decision-making during the Vietnam 
 War, to the New York Times and other newspapers. He is currently an avid 
 anti-war activist.\n\nLakshmi Chaudhry is a Puffin Writing Fellow at the 
 Nation Institute, and contributing writer at the Nation magazine. She is

 including “Mission Rejected,” “Wetback Nation,” and “Inside Talk 
 Radio.” He is also works in documentary films and television.  \n\n"Naomi 
 Wolf sounds the alarm for all American patriots. We must come together as a 
 nation and recommit ourselves to the fundamental American idea that no 
 president, whether Democrat or Republican, will ever be given unchecked 
 power.”\n—Wes Boyd, co-founder, MoveOn.org\n\n “Naomi Wolf’s End of 
 America is a vivid, urgent, mandatory wake-up call that 
 addresses\nmomentous issues of tyranny, democracy, and 
 survival.\n—Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of three-volume Eleanor 
 Roosevelt\n\n“The framers of our Constitution fully understood that it 
 can happen here. Patriots like Madison, Paine, and Franklin would certainly 
 applaud Naomi Wolf and recognize her as a sister in their struggle.”  
 —Mark Crispin Miller\n\n“You will be shocked and disturbed by this 
 book. Most Americans reject outright any comparison of post 9/11 America 
 with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet’s Chile. 
 Sadly, the parallels and similarities, what Wolf calls ‘the echoes’ 
 between those societies and America today, are all too 
 compelling.”\n—Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional 
 Rights\n\nTickets: $10 advance, $13 door, available at supportive
