How it works
Find your lawmakers using the map on the front page or search options above.
On the lawmaker’s page, click the link to send them a copy of “Atlas Shrugged,” which will take you to the corresponding Amazon wishlist.
Everything is handled by Amazon’s secure check-out. Amazon will send you order confirmation and tracking information.
Once we confirm a book has been purchased from the lawmakers’ wishlist, we will update their status here so we can keep track of which lawmakers have been sent a copy of “Atlas Shrugged.”
Wishlist options
Each wishlist contains four editions of “Atlas Shrugged” varying in price from $8.99 to $25.17. That way there’s always a copy in stock and you can tailor your gift to the lawmaker. (For instance, sending the small-print, paperback to older lawmakers with poor eyesight might not be a good idea).
The wishlist contains the mailing address of each lawmaker, so you don’t have to worry about that information.
