520 1 $a"Where once most state laws were passed by legislatures, now voters decide directly on such explosive issues as medical marijuana, affirmative action, casino gambling, assisted suicide, and human rights through a new form of "direct democracy," the very form of government the Founders feared most.".
520 8 $a"In this book, David Broder tells how the initiative revolution came about. A movement that started with Proposition 13 in California is now a multimillion-dollar business in which lawyers, campaign consultants, signature gatherers, and advertising agencies sell their expertise to interest groups or to do-gooders with private agendas.
520 8 $aBroder takes the reader into the heart of these battles as he talks with the field operatives, lobbyists, PR spinners, labor leaders, and business executives - all of whom can profit from the manipulation of the political process."--BOOK JACKET.
