How to fight for your rights
THE CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO FIGHTING GOVERNMENT
by Steven S. Symms and Larry Grupp
introduction by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan
(reviewed by Jim Powell)
Governments stop taxing and otherwise oppressing only when
enough outraged people fight back. This practical book tells how
to do it.
The authors explain how to form a political action group.
They talk about timing your attack on an important issue... how
best to name your group... 6 keys to setting strategic goals...
how to assemble the "brain trust" you will need... whom to pick
for your board of directors... 6 ways to find an effective
spokesman.
The authors provide specific advice about raising money...
how to tap major contributors... 10 rules for successful fund
raising letters... the sequence of 11 points covered in most fund
raising letters... 11 recommendations for important details which
affect results from fund raising letters, like letter length, how
it's printed, choice of paper and ideal signer. 4 examples of
successful fund raising letters included.
The authors tell how to get publicity... 6 ways a news
conference can attract reporters and get coverage... 9 steps to
setting up a successful news conference... 5 elements of a good
media package... how to develop attention-grabbing "factoids"...
how to dress for TV coverage... how to conduct a demonstration
likely to get coverage... how to prepare for jail, if going there
will help dramatize your cause... how to protect your group
against 60 Minutes style "ambush" reporters... 12 guidelines for
managing media relations... how to write press releases that get
attention... a hot tip for generating radio publicity...
how to carry out a cost-effective advertising campaign... how to
control budgets.
Just about all the practical details of running an effective
political action group are here... what you must know about the
single most important operational tool... how to write effective
brochures... how to organize a good speakers bureau... how to
motivate people to vote... how to take advantage of the Freedom
of Information Act... how to fight bureaucratic rules... how to
deal with politicians. If you really want to make a difference,
this is the book for you.
