Book excerpt: You're thinking about running for public office, but you aren't sure how to begin. But you want to get involved. Maybe the thing that finally pushed you into politics was small, such as another $65 parking ticket or a city ordinance that bans selling ice cream cones at your new business. Or maybe it's something big, like the daily turmoil currently churning Washington, D.C. The national leadership is driving you crazy; or maybe you believe the administration is not being aggressive enough. Whatever it is, you've decided it's time to run for office. But are you ready? Are you ready to raise the money you need to win? Do you have a game plan to deliver your message to your district's voters? Do you know how many votes you need to win? Do you know who those voters are? How do you gain the name recognition you need to win your race? Do you have a compelling message? Can you explain to voters, in just a few words, why they should give you their vote? Nine Secrets for Getting Elected shares the truth about politics with you. It's about the things you need to know to run - and win! - public office. It puts two-term Mayor and City Councilman Kit Bobko's 20-years of political experience in your campaign's corner. Nine Secrets for Getting Elected is an unfiltered view of local politics from the campaign trail to serving on the city council and beyond. Kit walks you through planning, building the support you need to run, fundraising, and winning endorsements. Nine Secrets for Getting Elected isn't an Eighth grade Civics textbook. It's where House of Cards intersects with Parks and Recreation. It's fun, it's enlightening, but most importantly, it will help you win your election.

Book Synopsis Billionaires & Ballot Bandits by : Greg Palast

Download or read book Billionaires & Ballot Bandits written by Greg Palast. This book was released on 2012-09-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close presidential election in November could well come down to contested states or even districts--an election decided by vote theft? It could happen this year. Based on Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s investigative reporting for Rolling Stone and BBC television, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps might be the most important book published this year--one that could save the election. Billionaires & Ballot Bandits names the filthy-rich sugar-daddies who are super-funding the Super-PACs of both parties--billionaires with nicknames like "The Ice Man," "The Vulture" and, of course, The Brothers Koch. Told with Palast's no-holds-barred, reporter-on-the-beat style, the facts as he lays them out are staggering. What emerges in Billionaires & Ballot Bandits is the never-before-told-story of the epic battle being fought behind the scenes between the old money banking sector that still supports Obama, and the new hedge fund billionaires like Paul Singer who not only support Romney but also are among his key economic advisors. Although it has not been reported, Obama has shown some backbone in standing up to the financial excesses of the men behind Romney. Billionaires & Ballot Bandits exposes the previously unreported details on how operatives plan to use the hundreds of millions in Super-PAC money pouring into this election. We know the money is pouring in, but Palast shows us the convoluted ways the money will be used to suppress your vote. The story of the billionaires and why they want to buy an election is matched with the nine ways they can steal the election. His story of the sophisticated new trickery will pick up on Palast's giant New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
