If you think the world is safe for democracy, read this book

I live in Atlanta, Ga., and have watched Rep. Drenner since she has been a member of the Georgia House of Representatives.After reading this book, I know why she needs to stay in office. Her story is about somebody who chose not to sit passively while the political power structure of Georgia and of the rest of the country maintained the status quo.She chose to get in the game and improve the system that makes the rules with its own rules. Her story offers a unique perspective--the one from the inside.She describes in vivid detail what it feels like to have the mandate of the people but face blatant discrimination, if not harassment, from those who are her political peers.What I took away from this book is a real understanding of why each individual must actively engage in the American democratic system and why, most importantly, each individual can bring about tangible change through "The Power of One."
