Getting things done in Washington

"Tells the exciting stories of six great moments of progressive legislative history and the people who made them happen: James Madison and the founding fathers' fight to expand the power of the federal government and write a new Constitution; the ladies of Beekman Hill, George Wiley and the struggle to regulate the pure food and drug industries, Wilbur Mills and the struggle for universal health insurance, Robert Wagner and the struggle for the right of labor to organize, John Sherman and the struggle to rein in and regulate big business, and Lyndon Johnson and the struggle for civil rights legislation. The final chapter brings together the lessons from all of the previous chapters to provide the reader with five key tactics/strategies for getting things done in Washington."--Page 4 of cover.
