Making The Government Work For You

Keep on Voting After the Election By Joel Blackwell Joel Blackwell introduces the average citizen to the techniques used to approach their legislators so their voices and issues will be heard. The author shows you how to understand that the Perfect Political Triangle - constituent, lobbyist, and politician - is the strongest structure in politics that will make things happen when it all comes together. While our vote at the ballot box is important, it is only the first step in getting what you want from your government. This book shows you how to use Four Essential Tools - the professional lobbying staff, money, the media,and members of organizations - to persuade your US or state legislator to vote for an issue you are interested in. This is a must have book for every individual, political organization and/or special interest/focus group that needs to affect public policy. It is a book that should be used in classrooms to teach students how to effectively get their government to meet the challenges in the future.

Learn the "Do's & Don'ts" of Communicating with your Legislator

If you ever wondered how to best work with your US or state legislators to persuade them to vote "yea" or "nay" on a particular bill, this book will show you how. You will also learn how important the legislative staff members are and, even though they may be young, how to best work with them to influence a vote. This book includes a comprehensive explanation (straight from legislators' mouths) about which types of communications work well (and which don't work well) and why. This can help you save a lot of time and energy so that you can focus on building an actual relationship with representatives and senators. I personally know my US Congressman because I worked in his first campaign. And now he answers my e-mails personally (I don't send too many, though!); and I know one of his staff members who moved to DC - and he'll take my calls. It's about relationship and communication. Get this book and learn how to be really effective!
