Getting Things Done in Washington:
Lessons fro Progressives from Landmark Legislation
by
Joseph H. Boyett, Ph.D.
Legislation was passed
                               
and lives were changed.

My new book will inspire you, lift your spirits,
renew your faith in what Americans can
accomplish, and show you a way forward.

I tell the exciting stories of six great moments of
legislative history and the people who made
Washington work for all Americans:

  • James Madison and the founding fathers’
    struggle to expand the power of the
    federal government,
  • The Ladies of Beekman Hill, George
    Wiley and the struggle for pure food and
    drugs,
  • Wilbur Mills and the struggle for
    universal health insurance,
  • Robert Wagner and the struggle for the
    right of labor to organize,
  • John Sherman and the struggle to rein in
    and regulate big business, and
  • Lyndon Johnson and the struggle for civil
    rights legislation.
You'll learn what it was like to live in America before these historic pieces of legislation were passed and how
these legislative achievements changed the lives of every American.  I introduce you to the fascinating men
and women who led the efforts to pass this legislation.  Finally, I extract from their stories lessons on what
we need to do or do better to once again get things done in Washington.  I think you will find
Getting Things
Done in Washington
vivid and exciting history.  Most importantly, it will give you the tools to begin getting
things done in Washington.
