Get Elected, Make A Difference is the "how to" book for the man or woman interested in seeking any one of the 500,000 elected public office at the local, city, county or state level. It is also "must" reading for the person supporting someone else seeking office -- and great reading for the "political junkie" seeking insider information as to how the process of getting elected really works! Advice is presented from outstanding legislators on "both sides of the aisle" such as Bob Dole, Nancy Kasselbaum, Paul Simon, Alan Simpson, Claiborne Pell, Jan Meyers, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Paul Wellstone, Phil Gramm, Carol Moseley-Braun and many, many others. This 300 page manual is written by Rich Becker (himself a successful political office seeker) and presents a virtual treasury of wit, wisdom, practical ideas, strategic advice, and comprehensive coverage of all aspect of successful political campaigning. Highly recommended! -- Midwest Book Review
