The Day the Rats Vetoed Congress

Ralph Nader

When a reporter breaks the news that Rats have invaded the toilet bowls of the halls of Congress, it sparks a national frenzy. Activists see the rats upending business as usual, and turn the invasion into a symbol against the lobbyists who hold Congress in their sway. A massive citizen uprising follows, which threatens to sweep Congress clean of Wall Street's chokehold of corruption -- but the corporate titans have ways of fighting back! Gleefully and generously illustrated by famed political cartoonist Mr. Fish, and more than just a story, this is a how to guide to effect political change -- from a pied piper who's done it time and time again.
