| Michael Olson: former President and CEO of ASAE You reflect an experienced understanding of the broad environment of regulatory and legislative advocacy "protocols". And you very accurately reinforce for your readers how our elected and appointed officials do indeed value information from outside resources that is presented honestly, concisely and in an open dialogue context. Your book is all about personalizing a rather impersonal process, namely the influencing of Legislation. Your own experience, wide range of contacts and results-oriented strategies will serve our association management profession very well. Suzanne Goucher: Executive Director, Maine Association of Broadcasters I bought enough copies of "Personal Political Power" to send one to each of my members. Now, when I put out the call on a legislative issue, they know what to do, because they have Joel Blackwell's useful, easy-to-read, step-by-step guide to follow. Joel helps people understand that they can be a valuable political asset by virtue of being (1) a constituent and (2) a resource. "Personal Political Power" takes the mystery out of the political process and makes participation easy -- and fun! Don't want a PAC? e-mail Joel about a technique that may work better than a PAC and is available to any organization no matter what your tax status!

| All things being equal, politicians will go with the flow. Your job is to create the flow - Our political system is not designed to decide who is right and who is wrong. It is designed to decide who has a majority. - If you can’t prove that lots of people are with you, you will fail and should fail. - There are no right or wrong positions in politics, just decisions made by human beings for good reasons, bad reasons and out of indifference. - If you have the votes in the legislature or Congress, you’re right. If you don’t, you’re wrong. - No political decision is permanent; the fat lady never sings. |
