CITIZEN WEALTH: WINNING THE CAMPAIGN TO SAVE WORKING FAMILIES tells of a rising gap between rich and poor and concurrent failing standards of living for millions of Americans. It shares the strategies that enabled ACORN founder and author Wade Rathke to pull together a holistic strategy for creating different types of wealth and assets, and provides a fine set of stories and examples of these lessons.

A terrific read by the guy who (can now boast of having literally) wrote the book on modern community organizing.
Required reading for anyone who wants to help justify Fox News' fear of a vast left wing conspiracy.

Interesting book on how to run campaigns that help regular working people. Wade Rathke brings his insight as the founder of ACORN into a great book all about which organizing campaigns will help us win the fight to reduce poverty in a very readable way. Good for community organizers and also anyone who cares about social justice.

Wade Rathke is going to tell America how to build wealth?

Maybe like his brother did while at ACORN?

Hello ACORN is all about voter fraud and the Community Reinvestment Act is one of THE MAJOR reasons for the recent financial meltdown in the USA.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to SOCIALIZE the USA.

The author of Citizen Wealth, Wade Rathke, possesses a remarkable set of qualities that sets the book apart from virtually any other book I've seen. He is, first of all, a superb writer on complex topics. He also has had an amazing career working with political, business, and community leaders over a span of almost forty years. From the beginning of his career, his articles, memos, and blog entries have analyzed complex economic, political, and social issues in terms that ground them in peoples' lives. He has also maintained a visionary, optimistic, and energized attitude toward improving the lives of ordinary people through activism and empowerment. This book draws on those amazing qualities and offers a profoundly innovative way forward for our society, economy, and nation to reward the hard work of all its people, protect the rights of all citizens, and pursue justice in fundamental and practical ways.

About time! A solid book on organizing! Wade Rathke breaks down what it takes to win campaigns and bring about economic and social justice. Finally, a strategic guide to making change!

All they will tell you is how to embezzle from goverment run agencies and how to use "the system"....waste of time, money and paper.
