Physicians and practice staff are like politicians in one important way: Their days are 150% full.
Just as physicians want more time with patients, politicians wish they had more time to spend talking with constituents.

In today's world of politics despite -- or probably because of -- Twitter, Facebook, e-mail and all the other techno multipliers, personal contact and relationships are more powerful than ever.

This book emphasizes proven communication techniques that will move elected officials to act and help you shape health care policy your way.
