{"product_id":"capitol-gains-jerry-gillman-9781418421144","title":"Capitol Gains","description":"Capitol Gains follows a female member of the House of Representatives from her earliest days in the House. The attractive Delia Doris Downing, a former corporate attorney, shares the current negative opinion of most Americans about Congress and drafts a bill going beyond campaign reform and \"soft money\" - it would make it illegal for House and Senate members to accept campaign contributions from political action committees (PAC's). Seeking support for her bill - which has been dubbed Whack-PAC - she consults with the Speaker of the House, other members and jousts with congressional staff, committees, lobbyists and media. Delia is a Republican. Her husband, David, is a Democrat, and a Washington television talk show host. They live in Maryland, close to the capitol and own a vacation home in the congressional district represented by Delia's chief Whack-PAC opponent. This opponent plans an incinerator-recycling plant based very much more on corruption than public need. Delia fights for her Whack-PAC and against the incinerator-recycling plant as her congressional nemesis musters opposition to Whack-PAC while seeking support for his corrupt pork project. David's television interviews of a sex symbol movie actress and a totally inarticulate NBA basketball star provide comic relief in Capitol Gains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry Gillman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1418421146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781418421144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Jerry Gillman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485107302655,"sku":"9781418421144","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_803df4d8-440e-4b99-b65c-73bba7173bdb.jpg?v=1778047960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capitol-gains-jerry-gillman-9781418421144","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
