Summary:

"Our politics is a mess. We have leaders who can't or shouldn't be allowed to lead. It's no surprise that so many of us feel frustrated, let down and drawn to ask, 'But what can I do?' This book provides each of us with the motivation and the tools to make a difference. It explains how we can develop our skills of advocacy and persuasion"--Publisher's description.
