 Communicating
with Members of Congress: 2010 Update
Why should you engage the political
system? Because you already are, in the
sense that your life is already
unavoidably linked to decisions made (or
not made) by politicians. Your only real
option is to help influence those
decisions, or just hope for the best.
You, your family, your profession and
your country will be better off, if you
choose to speak up. The 2010 Update of
this book will assist you in building
relationships with your elected
officials.
