For years, I saw lawmaking as a spectator sport. I didnt know anything about the process until I found myself in a job where I had to learn how to lobby to get laws passed. Turns out, I was pretty good at it.
Years later, I landed in a different job where I taught everyday citizens how to pass laws. Most of them knew nothing when they got started. Yet many of those folks surprised themselves by passing a law on their first try. I taught them by breaking down the process from start to finish into 10 easy-to-follow steps. Now, Ive written this book to share the 10 Steps with you.
This book is for anyonefrom newbie to been-there-and-failedwho wants to understand how to successfully put together a lobbying campaign.
If you are passionate about creating change in your community, city, or state, read more for a simple recipe that you can use to make a difference.
I have loved writing this book. Ive loved it because so many people have given so generously of themselves in the process.
Annamarie Maricle and Travis Degheri are at the top of the list. Annamarie summoned the courage to tell you her very personal story because she was motivated to help other moms learn how to make real change through the legislative process. Travis, one of her lobbying campaign partners, was equally passionate about sharing his experience with you. Their story is a central part of this book, and is critically important to making the 10 Steps come alive.
A host of other people took the time to carefully review the books chapters. They provided kind and concrete feedback that allowed me to include some items Id forgotten or glossed over. The book would have been okay without their input, but its that much better because of it. Some of these folks I knew well; others, I had never met. Yet all took the time to carefully review and think about the book. A few of my friends (indicated with an asterisk) did double duty by reading another book I had written on this topic, which allowed them to offer especially insightful comments on this one.
This wonderful group of reviewers included:
Alyssa Palazzo, my dog-loving editor, has been a champion of this book from the very beginning. In fact, I cant remember which one of us dreamed up the idea of my writing it. During the review process, she wrote comments in the margins at the points where she laughed out loud. She refrained from scolding me too much about run-on sentences (I also learned she frowns on parenthesis). Matthew Dix cheerfully assisted both of us with incredible attention to detail, patience, and unfailing good humor.
Miles, my dog, provided inspiration for several passages in the book. He also made sure that I took him for an afternoon walk when I needed to step away from my computer. This assured he got an extra treat as well, so it was a fair deal all around.
Finally, and most importantly, I am grateful every day for the loving support of my husband, Mike Eichler. Hes my best friend, personal chef, sounding board, cheerleader (sans polyester shorts), and co-conspirator. Our love affair began decades ago with a series of endless long-distance phone calls. We havent stopped talking and loving each other since.
