Everyone who has read the novel should consider reading it again in celebration of this 4th of July for a lot of second time reader might get a lot more out of it this year under the circumstances. Sincerely, Hemangini Naidu PS: The first line of the second paragraph should read "The U.S. economy is s shambles," instead of "The U.S. economy is in shambles," A lot of people these days write "in shambles" but the correct usage is "a shambles" I only point this out because I have a special place in my value structure for the work of ARC. Please do not take it as criticism. Hello,

PS: The first line of the second paragraph should read “The U.S. economy is s shambles,” instead of “The U.S. economy is in shambles,”

A lot of people these days write “in shambles” but the correct usage is “a shambles”

I only point this out because I have a special place in my value structure for the work of ARC. Please do not take it as criticism.

It also allows a peaceful venue for folks to vent their frustrations. I agree, Tea Parties by themselves is not the end all. We need to also: 1. Become involved in the political process a. Research the candidate's principles b. Research the candidate's voting record c. Consider the length of time a candidate has been in office - is it time to vote in "new blood" d. Join the grass roots efforts in support of your candidates. I think the Tea Party is a viable way for us to make our discust visible.

Your opinion hits the mark and I concur that the novel and its ideals are timeless, yet timely. I am currently “reading” Atlas Shrugged on CD.

Do you think she sold millions of books just to hear a fellow like you tell us to "discover" her? Where will you be on the 4th? I know where where I and my family will be. We will be in Texas, loudly proclaiming our rights on our Independence Day - in a place that still matters. Take your 'cut-and-paste' rip-off of her works and pretend you still care. I do not believe you. I spent an hour with Mister John Ridpath when I was a kid. He made a better 'call to honour' to our waitress over my undercooked steak at an unassuming diner than you just made regarding the last, best hope for pushing back an unethical and unthinking horde of grandee- worshopping blackhands. Forshame, Mister Watkins. You can do better. Rally the men... We have everything to lose. I know you can do it, if you try. Get yourself to a Tea Party, this, Our Independence Day. You will thank me later, Yours, Geoff P.S. I am sorry about the "condescending prick" portion of my letter. Please correct it to read: "Terrible example to children of this Great Country and her philosophy." P.P.S. I will support you and honestly retract every antagonistic word I wrote, upon a single display of your manhood. Remember, Mister Watkis, a barrel of tea was very, very heavy. It took a man to lift and hurl it. g GL Mister Watkins,

Ayn Rand simply articulated what I already believed in a way that I could not express myself. That being said, the Rand Revolution is spreading, the numbers do not lie.

Are there plans to post it on the website? Great words by the way, the Tax Day Tea Party Flyer was a little on the dry side and didn't really grip the average attendee. This one should really get people talking. Sincerely, Ian Roberts Don,
