How to Get Inside the Minds of Members of Congress So They Pass the Bills You Want Passed and Kill the Bills You Want Killed: Former Judiciary Committee Lawyer Gives You the Inside Scoop
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Ever wonder why some bills seem to glide effortlessly into law while
others get bogged down in years of wrangling over every comma? Ever wish
that you could have a magic mirror to help you understand not just how
Congress works, but how it thinks?
Insider's insider Joseph Gibson is ready to guide you through not just
the process, but the psychology of Congress. He has served as the
House Judiciary Committee's Chief Legislative Counsel, Chief Antitrust
Counsel, and Parliamentarian. A former Chief of Staff to a prominent
Texas Congressman, Mr. Gibson was a Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney
General for Legislative Affairs and Clerk to a Judge on the Eleventh
Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Gibson is a Washington, DC attorney with
six years of private practice experience.
Gibson's brand new book, Persuading Congress: A Practical Guide to
Parlaying an Understanding of Congressional Folkways and Dynamics into
Successful Advocacy on Capitol Hill, has just been published by
TheCapitol.Net.
He explores lobbying strategies and techniques you're not likely to find
elsewhere, such as how to:
-
Get what you want by making the Member of Congress look like a hero
-
Take full advantage of the current party makeup of Congress at any
time, using different strategies when one party has a solid majority
than when the tallies are close
-
Develop multi-year strategies that work far better than the
hit-em-and-leave-em efforts of many lobbyists
-
Make a brand new policy feel familiar and comfortable in the Member's
eyes
-
Know whether a delay or a full-court press will be more helpful to
your cause
This book is a must-have for lobbyists, executives, associations, and
libraries.
