Who's Reading The Politics of Hope?
 The Politics of Hope by Donna Zajonc was the 2009 book-pick of
Rufus Woods,
Editor and Publisher of the Wenatchee World,
who writes:
"I found The Politics of Hope to be a fascinating book. The author is a former legislator from Oregon who ran unsuccessfully for Secretary of State and then managed a campaign for a gubernatorial candidate. Donna describes four stages of political development: 1) Anarchy; 2) Traditionalism (divisive, winner-take-all, the ends justify the means approach); 3) Resignation (where reasonable people are so disgusted with the process that they focus on local issues that they can have an impact on), and finally 4) Conscious leader, which describes individuals who are connected to their values and who see the world as interconnected and interdependent. It's an inspiration for those of us who desire to make a difference in life."
