Bill Clinton Book Out Sept. 4 Jul 10 12:38 PM US/Eastern By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Former President Clinton's planned book on citizen activism, "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World," will come out Sept. 4 with a first printing of 750,000, publisher Alfred A. Knopf announced Tuesday.

Clinton, whose memoir "My Life" was a million seller, will tour nationwide to promote the book and will narrate the audio version.

"I've done my best in this book to demonstrate what I've seen firsthand through my (William J. Clinton) Foundation's work in Africa and around the world: that all kinds of giving can make a profoundly positive difference," Clinton said in a statement released by Knopf.

"The amount of good that so many individuals and NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) have been able to do has proven to me that almost everyone—regardless of income, available time, age, and skills—can do something useful for others and, in the process, strengthen the fabric of our shared humanity."

According to Knopf, the book was written by Clinton himself and features "a number of extraordinary people and organizations—some famous, as well as many private citizens whom readers will be hearing about for the first time—all of whom represent a global floodtide of nongovernmental nonprofit activity."

Most of us give without any fanfare or recognition. Who among us needs to write a book about their giving? Only the man who has a compulsion to tell everyone about all the good he does, going around the world being paid millions to tell people how great he is.

Maybe he’ll explain all the Acts of Terror on The United States that he covered up on his eight years in office! Osama Bin Laden said in 1998 he didn’t know what he could do further to teach the American President that they were at war. Bet thats not in his corrupt book.

A brazen plea to the non-elites to give generously to the elites. There have been several articles posted on FR documenting how our giving has made matters far worse in many cases.

Think he’ll go on FOX with Chris Wallace again to pump his new repository of Trash? Pretty sure he wont, but it would be great to see him blow up again.

I simply don’t have the native progressive genius to sit through a book written by a communist troglodyte. Besides, my cave is out of light bulbs.

You’re welcome, certainly.

I thought perhaps you might have an item or two from your extensive archive at http://www.alamo-girl.com/ which you might wish to share with us “for the good of the order” on this thread. ...grin
