Join us, for a hopping party and speak-out, with great authors, 14 microbrews on tap, and a fun live band, all on opening night of Book Expo America, in Washington, D.C.

We love freedom. We oppose tyranny. We are united against an agenda of permanent war. We are for the Word. We are for the Press. We are for privacy, the free flow of information, and dissent. We are all proud independent publishers, taking a stand against the most criminal political regime in this country's history. On May 19th, not only will we be talking books and ideas, we will unite to speak out against the Bush White House, its assault on civil liberties, and its enduring lust for war.
