Online databases with Information on the
Coup Plotters:
Most of the sources used by Press for Conversion! editor Richard
Sanders in writing the biographies of bankers, industrialists,
corporations and organizations (that are detailed in "Facing the Corporate Roots of American
Fascism"), are listed at the conclusion of each individual
biography. However, additional online sources were used. Here
is a list of the databases that were helpful in compiling these
biographies of the coup plotters and financiers. Each of the following
sources was used for gathering information on several of the key
players involved in the fascist plot to oust FDR.

For a sizable list of donors to the American Liberty League
and its front groups (for example, the Sentinels of the Republic, Crusaders, Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution,
and other fascist American organizations in the 1930s), refer
to a table of data prepared by Senator Black (originally published
in the Digest of Data, Special Committee to Investigate
Lobby Activities, 74th Congress 2nd Session). It was later published
in 1000 Americans, by George Seldes, Boni & Gaer, 1947, p. 292-298.
This table of data on donations to American fascist organizations
is now availale online by Glen Yeadon, The Nazi Hydra in America,
2004.
