I enjoyed this! I have never been interested in participating in the government beyond jury duty, taxes, and voting but lately I feel the need to speak out and communicate with those who represent me and this book is a useful tool to help me take on this active role. Easy to comprehend and there are more resources in the book to help you after you have finished reading.
Wonderfully to the point. A definite read for every activist and concerned citizen.

Great how-to manual on making your voice heard to get more involved in the political process. As a beginner in the political world myself, this book offered a nice primer on the rules, tactics, and limits of lobbying.

Very concise and very practical advice about how to make the government work for you. Lobbying is a business, and even if you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart or a deep need to make the world a better place it still takes a commitment of time and resources. You might as well do it right to avoid wasting each of them.

A very informative tool that guides you through the process of getting your polical thoughts and wants across the the appropriate official. There are steps that I would have never thought to take that not only aid in your lobbing outcome but sound interesting to do all on their own. This should be given to everyone at the time that they register to vote.
A quick read that is packed with good information on how citizens can effectively make their voices heard by their representatives. I plan on putting these tips to good use soon. The US would be better off if all citizens performed their civic duties of holding their representatives accountable instead of feeling good after the national elections every four years.
A nice little book that does what it promises: gives an overview of how to be a citizen lobbyist.
