Lobbying on a Shoestring

“This fourth edition represents the latest revision of Lobbying on a Shoestring, which was originally authored by Judith C. Meredith and Linda Myer and published by the Massachusetts Poverty Law Center in 1982. Lobbying originally grew out of a hand- book written in 1979 for participants in a legislative advocacy training conference presented by Terrance McLarney, Rochelle Lefkowitz, Robert Shaffer, Kathleen O’Grady, Robert James, Arlene Sen, Mary Kay Leonard, Maureen Holland, and others.
This edition includes some material on the media (in chapter 9 and the appendix) written originally by Linda Myer, as well as new material and concepts from Real Clout and the Real Clout Workbook. The appendix also features some material that was originally written by Allan Rodgers and Tony Winsor of Massachusetts Law Reform Institute. The authors thank Georgia Katsoulomitis, current executive director at MLRI, for her thoughtful contributions to chapter 9.”
