Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

Over the past few decades, the radical right has engaged in a
well-funded program of Orwellian doublespeak seeking to transform
American political discourse. In response, Katrina vanden Heuvel
started a "Republican Dictionary" more than a year ago. The idea took
off, and she asked readers of TheNation.com to send definitions to her
blog, Editor's Cut. Submissions came from forty-four states in all
(with the most coming from Texas!)

These submissions, in turn, spawned a new book, recently released by
Nation Books. Written by vanden Heuvel and readers of The Nation, The
Dictionary of Republicanisms offers a path out of the thicket of
rightwing mendacity.

And, if you're in the NYC area, don't miss vanden Heuvel--The Nation's
editor and publisher--speaking next Thursday, February 16 at the
venerable Strand Bookstore in lower Manhattan. She'll be reading from
the Dictionary of Republicanisms as well as taking questions and
