Legislating Our Way to Success

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In a time of political gridlock and partisan division, legislative entrepreneurs are more important than ever. These are the individuals who have the vision, determination, and political savvy to champion new policies and drive them through the legislative process, often in the face of significant opposition.

In this groundbreaking book, we take an in-depth look at the world of legislative entrepreneurship, examining the motivations, strategies, and challenges that these individuals face. We also profile some of the most successful legislative entrepreneurs in American history, and explore the impact that their work has had on the nation.

Through these case studies, we gain a deeper understanding of the legislative process and the role that entrepreneurs play in shaping it. We also see how entrepreneurs can overcome the many obstacles that they encounter, from partisan gridlock to public apathy.

This book is not just a dry academic study of the legislative process. It is a fascinating and inspiring look at the individuals who are making a difference in the world through their work in government.

These are the stories of people who have seen a problem and decided to do something about it. They are the ones who have taken on powerful interests, overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and made a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans.

Their stories are an inspiration to us all, and they remind us that even in the most challenging times, there is always hope for change.

Oregon Moonshine - Bootleggers...

Mr. Bruce Haney

Moonshining is deep-rooted in the history of Oregon.   In 1844, when it was still Oregon Territory, one of the first moonshiners, James Conner, challenged a lawman to a duel for busting his illegal operation. The McKenzie River Bandits had better luck hiding from the law and produced bootleg booze for nearly five years before their arrest. It wouldn't be the last time they were caught. Over the years, outlaw moonshiners engaged in car chases, shootouts and even attempted an assassination to protect their hidden distilleries--and way of life.   Join author Bruce Haney as he chronicles the intoxicating history of Oregon Moonshine.

Reproductive Wrongs - A Short...

Sarah Ruden

A bracing feminist chronicle of the history of the West told through seven texts, exposing where our most virulent ideas about women came from. 
 
The dangerous belief that granting women reproductive freedom poses a threat to "traditional" values is a myth that has long prospered in American politics, playing an especially vicious role in the development of totalitarianism in the West. How did such damaging ideas arise? 
 
In Reproductive Wrongs, acclaimed translator and cultural historian Sarah Ruden exposes how ideologies that oppress women and families in the service of power took hold. Ruden traces a sweeping history through her trenchant analysis of seven pieces of literature that, she argues, marked key inflection points across two thousand years. From propagandistic poetry written by Ovid in the early Roman Empire to the biography of an evangelical American "abortion survivor," Ruden lays bare how doctrines of control over women were invented and propagated. 
 
Scathing and vital, Reproductive Wrongs unearths the evolution of a right–wing radicalism that endures to this day, when half of the United States population is losing access to basic human rights.

Free Speech and Turbulent...

Michael J. Glennon

A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
 
 
 
In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
 
 
 
To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.
