"Well, it turns out a lot of funny and dark stuff can fit on a bumper sticker as Olivia Greer and Aaron Rudenstine* show in their clever, funny, and subversive Actions Speak Louder Than Bumper Stickers . In this sharply designed little masterpiece of a book, you will find not only 96 of the best smart ass statements, but facotids that will make you sound smart, backed up by sources and research. Imagine... all in a bumper sticker book."

"In their first book...these up-and-coming progressive commentators take on America's right-turning political climate in a way that will let you laugh, but won’t let it ride...I can't tell you if these two twentysomethings will help make up the next crop of Bill Mahers, Al Frankens, Maureen Dowds or Jon Stewarts, but I can tell you that it is exciting to see young blood publishing in the political satire arena...I, for one, look forward to hearing more from these two, and in a larger sense, the generation of progressives they represent."

"Actions Speak Louder Than Bumper Stickers features ninety-six of the funniest decals currently on the road, each accompanied by sobering facts that ground the punch lines in the harsh reality from whence they spring. Young New Yorkers Aaron Rudenstine and Olivia Greer have captured the zeitgeist in a time capsule of leftist one-liners."

"Olivia Greer and Aaron Rudenstine...[have] collected some of the funniest political bumper stickers... and created a colourful book sprinkled with political facts that ground roadside chuckles in reality."

-- Solana Lawsen, openDemocracy (12/19/05)

"These [combinations of bumper stickers and factoids] give the reader something to be immediately amused by, while also introducing them to information that has the potential to start a few lively conversations. For this reason I would highly recommend it as a coffee table book for, as the editors put it, “your favorite progressive.”...However, if you’re of a conservative mindset you may want to skip this one. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that bright red bumper stickers that read “Of course it hurts, you’re getting screwed by an elephant” probably aren’t the sort of thing you want to be chatting about with your relatives...So, now that I’ve covered my cautionary bases, do check this book out. It’ll give you a chuckle then slap you in the face with just how much truth there is in humor. Which, isn’t necessarily a bad thing."

"The bumper stickers that Greer and Rudenstine found are worth the book itself. We had never seen most of them -- and they are pretty damn clever. Add to that the corroborating commentary and you've got quite a compelling, fun book.  This is a very high quality, lovingly designed 96-page book that is a joy to browse through. Greer and Rudenstine take the bumper sticker wars to a new level -- and bring the message into your home."

-- Mark Karlin, Editor of Buzzflash.com (12/13/05)

"Freedom of speech is a hallmark of American democracy, and in the twentieth century that speech took new forms -- even on bumper stickers. Greer and Rudenstine chronicle some of the most important policy discussions of our time in an interesting and engaging format."
