Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Rebecca Roberts
On any given day, congressional offices are swamped with thousands of emails, phone calls and letters. Now that the health care debate is heating up, that daily flow of correspondence has transformed into an avalanche. So how can a single citizen break through it all to influence a member of Congress? We explore strategies for effective advocacy on the Hill, at the statehouse and your local government.
