A Great Book to read on the Knowledge Democrats Movement

For those of you who are reading, I suggest you read the following book co-authored by Jerry Tetalman titled "One World Democracy." Tetalman is the Congressional candidate of California's 49th Congressional District who was unsuccessful in beating Rep. Darrell Issa for re-election but he won over 110,000 votes.

Here's a review on Amazon.com:

"This book presents a fabulous message, or repeats it, for it has been promoted for decades: An opportunity like no other stands before us! World federation is not our goal, it says, for that is only a means to an end - the real goal is peace and justice in the world. We can abolish wars and bloodshed from this world forever and live in a peaceful community of nations under the rule of law and a global federation and lo, the great prize is there as we look at it, free for the taking! This is no fairy tale, no castle in the sky, it is rock bottom real. If the 50 states of the Union can live pleasantly together under a federal constitution and if the forever fighting Europeans can unite in the European Union, what are the reasons the family of nations can't do the same?

The fault lies in the fact that the ordinary citizen is unaware of this unbelievable opportunity. Under the tension of the Cold War there was no surprise nobody paid attention to it, but that crisis is long gone. No wonder, there are only three reviews of this marvelous text listed six years after it was published. No one is interested. In the Appendix of the book, a speech of J. P. Barrata makes a discouraging observation. He said, yes, there is now widespread agreement about the controversies of a global constitution, giving us the way to proceed, but there exists a crisis of the mind: "Unless there is another disaster on the scale of WW II, we probably cannot expect great achievement." I hope it doesn't require that kind of a catastrophe to wake up the world.

Read this book! I insist: read this book!"

This would be a great topic for a poll, here.

My budget is limited, so I cannot purchase the book, yet. But it does seem to be a very good read. I'll add a reference to it somewhere in the wiki.
