If you've heard of Michelle Malkin, you've probably heard about her new book attacking "President Obama and his team of tax cheats, crooks and cronies."

What's sickening is that Malkin's 'Culture of Corruption' is at the top of the New York Times best-seller list, promoted heavily by FOX News and an extensive network of conservative media outlets determined to destroy Obama's presidency.

As the health care debate has heated up, this right-wing noise machine has cranked up the volume of attacks on Obama -- inciting extremists to disrupt town hall meetings and other events, sometimes violently.

And now Michelle Malkin is attacking Michael Huttner, who just wrote a new book for community organizers who support President Obama. Huttner is also the founder of ProgressNow -- a network of progressive statewide organizations that includes ProgressNow Colorado (proceeds from this book are directly funding ProgressNow's work building progressive infrastructure in red and blue states).

Malkin wrote that Huttner's 50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America was aimed at "every nutroots activist out there" and was a bid to "dislodge conservative authors" from best-seller lists.

Let's take Michelle Malkin up on her challenge -- and put this book on the best-seller list.  If you think, as we do, that empowering people to get involved in their communities is a cause worth supporting, please click one of the links below to buy Michael Huttner's new book right now:

While Michelle Malkin may be slandering the President to sell books, Michael Huttner is empowering a new generation of Americans to take action in their own communities. His book has been praised by progressives across America, including Gov. Howard Dean, Arianna Huffington and the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
