"Having walked the halls of our Capitol for many years, I wish I had read this book before taking the first step. The details contained within are very revealing. I felt like I was privy to the most relevant information, like being in the locker room of an opponent learning how the game is really played. No assumptions, you'll know how to score."

The third edition (2007) of Guide to State Legislative Lobbying expands upon several key elements from the earlier edition.
501(c)(3) charitable organizations will find added help to protect their tax-exempt status while advocating for their missions,
including tax compliance guidance provided by the US Internal Revenue Service. Material has been added to the ethics section
to help readers avoid the embarrassment and legal liability of an inadvertent violation of state ethics statutes and chamber rules.

and contract lobbyists, combined with added tips and insights sprinkled throughout the revised edition, make the revised edition
of the Guide an even surer source of dependable advice and reliable guidance for novices as well as experienced lobbyists.
