Has the red tape of the political process gotten you down? In the step-by-step handbook Citizen Advocate: Get Government to Move Mountains and Change the World, Omar Ahmad, the former mayor of San Carlos, California, explains what it takes to move a great idea down the often-confusing path from hope to law. Written before Ahmad’s untimely death in 2011 (his sister helped complete his almost-finished manuscript), this practical guide is focused on the community level, because Ahmad steadfastly believed that when small local changes occur, big things can result. But to advocate your point of view, you must embark on a multi-step journey that requires time, effort and creativity. Citizen Advocate shows you how.
