Introduction

For years, Pat Libby has been teaching everyday citizens how to pass laws. Most of them knew next to nothing about the legislative process when they got started, yet many surprised themselves by passing a law on their first try.

The Book

The Empowered Citizens Guide provides an easy, 10-step framework that breaks down the legislative process into bite-sized pieces. For those who are passionate about creating change in their communities, cities, or states this book provides a simple recipe to make a difference.

Content Overview

Libby provides an explanation of terms related to advocacy and lobbying as well as the legal rules for public charities that want to lobby. A detailed overview of the ten steps is illustrated by a real-life example of how a mother, whose son''s addiction was fueled by over-the-counter drugs, fought alongside a few friends to pass a law that addressed a root of the problem.

Conclusion

The Empowered Citizens Guide is the perfect text for those who want to create meaningful change.
