How to Oust a Congressman: Tried-and-true techniques that successfully ended a Congressman's career (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781497508859)

In 2012, a group of a few dozen dedicated New Hampshire residents defied the odds and ended the career of a corrupt member of Congress with a small budget and a lot of hard work. Rep. Frank Guinta was listed by the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as one of the most corrupt members of the U.S. House of Representatives, just a year after taking office in the Tea Party wave of 2010. Despite him winning by 12 points in the 2010 midterms, Guinta was ousted after losing by 4 points in November of 2012 -- a 16-point swing in just two years. We didn't do it by raising a ton of money for TV ads, and we didn't do it by digging up dirt or finding mistresses willing to speak on the record. Our strategy worked because the only thing we used to take down Frank Guinta was his own voting record as a member of Congress. This guide replicates the strategy used to unseat Guinta, and teaches you everything you need to know to get rid of your least favorite Congressman or state legislator, no matter your budget or geographic location. In this book, you'll learn about how to make a 50-foot banner that's highly visible in rush hour traffic, how to control what the media writes about your Congressman, how to recruit and keep campaign volunteers, how to talk to voters on the phone, and how to run an effective canvass to get out the vote. Whether your Congressman is a 10-term incumbent with millions of dollars to spend, a state legislator who's overstayed their welcome, or a newly-elected promise-breaker who's run amok in Washington, this book will be your essential go-to guide containing everything you need to know to end a corrupt politician's career.
