Bugliosi Reviews:
See reviews by Molly Ivins, Gerry Spence and
Lou Posner of Voter March from the American
Politics Journal. "Vincent
Bugliosi has written the modern equivalent of
'J'accuse'. I am not a lawyer, but I do know
that when Bugliosi quotes a Yale law professor as
saying the day of the Bush v. Gore decision was 'like
the day of the Kennedy assassination' for him and many
of his colleagues, this is not an exaggeration."
Molly Ivins "It
is a pathetic spectacle that Bugliosi beckons us to
behold - this high, hallowed court and its revered
majority sold out to Power."
Gerry Spence, Esq. "With
his powerful, brilliant, and courageous expose of
crime by the highest court in the land Vincent
Bugliosi takes his place in the pantheon of patriots
who have stood up and spoken out against
injustice. When an article he wrote on Bush v.
Gore appeared in The Nation magazine in February,
2001, it drew the largest outpouring of letters and
e-mail in the magazine's 136-year history, tapping a
deep reservoir of outrage. Bugliosi's argument
is here greatly expanded, amended and amplified."

Louis Posner, Voter March
founder introducing Vincent Bugliosi
Rants
and Raves from Our Guests: "I
had the great thrill and pleasure on Tuesday
evening meeting Vincent Bugliosi and Greg Palast.....What a blast that was. They are both so
talented and committed to restoring the best
ideals that we all hold dear in a democratic
society. The reception was held in the large penthouse
apartment...There were literally wall-to-wall
people as well as people spilling out onto the 2
terraces. A piano was heard playing softly in the
background and plenty to eat and drink. This was a clapping, cheering, foot-stomping
crowd.....After Vincent Bugliosi finished signing
more than 100 books he spoke about the
"felonious 5" and then took questions.
He was both articulate and gracious.
Greg Palast followed by giving us the inside story
of how Florida was stolen and how its Black
citizens were deliberately and systematically
deprived of their right to vote.....We were then
treated to a viewing of his terrific documentary
that was made and shown on the BBC. Mr. Palast was
an extremely
engaging person. A grand and glorious time was had by all and I am
grateful to Voter March and Lou Posner for making
this evening possible."
Lee S., Manhattan "Many,
many thanks again ... for your truly sensational
evening with Vincent Bugliosi and Greg Palast.
What a coup this was for VoterMarch! "A
Night to Remember!" I just wonder how
you managed to get BOTH of these superheroes in
the same Penthouse in New York on the same
evening!?! I and my husband were both
thrilled to be there."
Nancy R., Brooklyn "Tuesday
night's event was so fantastic that I almost don't
know what to add to everyone else's comments.
I had seen Mr. Bugliosi on CSPAN about a month ago
so I knew he was a great orator, but in person he
is mesmerizing. It was also great hearing and seeing Greg Palast."
Josephine C., New Jersey
