Book excerpt: To confront and defeat the effort of the political left to change the American system of government into one resembling the socialist welfare states of the rest of the world, Richardson spells out for political conservatives the strategies and tactics to practice politics of confrontation -- as practiced by their opponents. Filled with many practical examples from Richardson's own successful efforts in California, the book is instructive, often entertaining and of immense value to the many 21st century conservatives now girding for battle with the often radical initiatives of some in the new Obama Administration as well as of the union bosses and liberal-left forces now with large majorities in each house of Congress.Richardson's key point about his opponents is they usually practice the politics of deception to advance programs the vast majority of Americans would never support if they knew what the outcomes would be. He outlines many different approaches to confront these programs through political organizing of like-minded people and organizations into activist coalitions.Foreword by Morton Blackwell, Leadership Institute
