Amazon Editorial Reviews - http://amzn.to/1XyrWu6
"You can make a difference in your community. With this book you can actually create laws in your city, county or state. If you see things that need to change, buy this book and make it happen."
- Robert A. Schuller, New York Times best-selling author, Walking In Your Own Shoes
"The United States Supreme Court has acknowledged that lobbying elected officials in our democracy is 'among the most precious of the liberties safeguarded by the Bill of Rights, and intimately connected, both in origin and in purpose, with the other First Amendment rights of free speech and free press.'
"How to Change a Law" provides step-by-step, insider knowledge about how to enact or amend a statute. Everyone is frustrated with the level of inaction in Congress and our state legislatures. Now you can do something about it."
- Steve Churchwell, Churchwell White LLP, and former General Counsel, California Fair Political Practices Commission
"This is one of the most important books written on the legislative process and how to participate in it. It is well-written and well-researched, so much so that I think the book should be part of the required curriculum for government classes at the high school and college level."
- Gerri Knilans, President, Trade Press Services
""How to Change a Law" does not disappoint. As Mayor of the Town of Atherton California, John's insights into the political process are acute and his passion to empower people is real. If you're a concerned voter looking for a road map to create new policy ideas and solve some of our greatest challenges as an advocate for a cause, this is for you."
- Elizabeth Lewis, Mayor of Atherton, CA
"It never even occurred to me that an average citizen could have any influence on the laws. This is an act of optimism. In the cynical age we live in, it takes a voice as passionate and persuasive as Thibault's to mount the argument that if you really believe in something, you can actually start the wheels turning to make a difference. "
- Tim Knight, Founder, Prophet.Net, Author of Panic, Prosperity, and Progress
"The whole concept of an iLobby is an incredibly important contribution to today's political and cultural eco-system."
- Kevin O'Malley, President, TechTalk / Studio and Chairman, Business and Leadership Forum, Commonwealth Club of California
""How to Change a Law" simplifies and literally lays out a blueprint on how to effectively have an impact on government and get things done. A first of it's kind in terms of simplicity and directness in how to be impactful in getting government to work for you."
- Rob Smith, CEO, Pecabu
