Whenever I am asked why I wrote this book, this is my answer...
Local politics is a game. A very serious game. You can't expect to win any serious game without a "game plan". Moving Mountains and Molehills Local Politics 101 ... guides you step by step through the local political process and how to develop your specific "game plan".
In my many years of attending and participating in local government meetings, I learned that citizens do not have a clue how to play the game of local politics. They are foolish enough to think their views should prevail because they are a "citizen and taxpayer."
Moving Mountains and Molehills Local Politics 101 starts by describing the ingredients of a local political issue "game plan". (Rules, Friends, Tactics, Etc)
From there it actually examines real issues and how these ingredients of a "game plan" unfold.
Finally, it gives you a sample worksheet that can be used as a template for developing local political issue "game plans". A step by step worksheet.
This book has it all!
If you are a wannabe "local government activist", you need this book.
If you are a wannabe "I should just know more about how local government operates", you need this book.
If you are an experienced "local government activist", you need this book because it can make you even better.
If you are a local government official, you need this book. Developing a "game plan" is for everyone.
In short, if you have anywhere between a mild interest in local politics all the way up to years and years, you should read this book.

You can find other books that teach you how to get elected.
There is no other book than this one that can teach you how to win issues, whether you are on the governing board ... or not.
This is my story and I'm sticking to it.
