This book will help bring on the New Progressive Era. It's that good. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Progress takes more than passion, it requires planning. This book is a blueprint for victory. Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) If you care about economic and social justice, read this book. If you want to act in the name of economic and social justice, read this book. Creamer has lived the fight and learned from the fight. There are few with his experience or expertise. - Paul Tewes, Democratic Political Consultant, Partner, Hildebrand-Tewes Consulting Bob Creamer's forty years of organizing has made him a master organizer. This book, more than any other I have read, combines values, passion, methodology, nuts and bolts and a will to win. I run an organizing institute that trains hundreds of organizers and thousands of leaders. I will put this book on the must read list for all those who choose to make organizing their path. - Greg Galluzzo, Director, Gamaliel Foundation <http://www.amazon.com/Listen-Your-Mother-Straight-Progressives/dp/09795 85295/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210616593&sr=8-1> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "big campaign" group.
