The DeMarco Factor: Transforming Public Will into Political Power
ISBN: 9780826517036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Vinny DeMarco might be a latter-day Don Quixote except that he tilts his lance at real obstacles to social justice: lobby-locked state legislatures and Congress, stonewalling the public will. And he makes impossible dreams come true. In twenty years of organizing campaigns in Maryland, he has led successful efforts to pass gun control laws (against National Rifle Association opposition), to hike cigarette taxes to prevent youth smoking, and to extend health care to hundreds of thousands of low-income workers. He has also built a unique alliance of mainstream and conservative faith groups,...
