Description
Through a series of nineteen carefully chosen vignettes, Stephen Frantzich portrays citizens from every walk of life-rich and poor, old and young, black and white, male and female, left and right, famous and obscure engaged in extraordinary civic activity. Their causes run the gamut from civil rights to flag burning, from the Internet to the international fronts of landmines and the UN-but their common cause is the fact that they creatively entered the arena of national public policy making and made a difference.

Description
Apathy and antipathy towards politics are epidemic. This work seeks to provide the antidote. Through a series of 19 vignettes, Stephen Frantzich portrays citizens from every walk of life - rich and poor, old and young, black and white, male and female, left and right, famous and obscure - as they choose to become involved in politics at a level to which readers can relate. The volume shows ordinary people engaged in extraordinary civic activity. Their causes run the gamut from civil rights to flag burning, from the Internet to the international fronts of landmines and the United Nations - but their common cause is the fact that they creatively entered the arena of national public policy-making and made a difference.
