Summary

"We are now facing a national divide in which lawmakers are less accountable to the public and more beholden to party leaders. Fight Club Politics shows how our current political system has silenced the average American voter, and how ordinary citizens can take back the institution that claims to represent them."--BOOK JACKET.
