FREEDOM! the book / Banned Book List Submissions
« on: June 27, 2017, 10:11:34 PM »
Dear Freedom Family,
If you didn't know, FREEDOM! has been banned in US prisons.
There are some positives to being banned by the US Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons (beside the stellar review) the main one being that FREEDOM! can be submitted to banned book lists and potentially reach a larger audience.
If you'd like to help us with this goal of reaching a larger audience, if you see a banned book list that FREEDOM! is not on please submit the below image with an email/message like the one below. Getting FREEDOM! on as many lists as possible not only helps us reach audiences that specifically read banned books, it gets the ideas in the book press, and helps fight political censorship.
Thank you so much for your efforts in helping us shift the paradigm,
Aaron
Freedom Line General Manager
"Dear ______,
I am emailing you concerning the banning of a book by the US Department of Justice.
In early 2015 someone ordered a copy of the book FREEDOM! by Adam Kokesh for an inmate, and on April 14th 2015 The FREEDOM! Line (the book’s publisher) received a letter from the US Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons stating that the book had been determined to be unacceptable because the publication contained “information which poses a threat to security, good order, or discipline of the institution.” The letter stated that the decision could be appealed within 20 days but was dated March 25th and arrived April 15th, exactly 20 days later. (The full contents of the letter can be found in the attachment below)
Although this book contains a message of peace, self-ownership, and non-violence, it states a case for progressing toward a more harmonious and peaceful society without government. There are obvious implications as to why government departments might want to censor this political view.
We’d appreciate you adding this book to your list of banned books and drawing attention to this instance of political censorship."
