Hunter and Salzman entreat readers to build on the nation-wide momentum that helped elect Obama by becoming involved with or leading community organizing and volunteer pursuits. Eight chapters contain ideas for achieving broad goals including turning Obama's vision into law, volunteering in the community, making small choices that represent change, harnessing the new media, and working future campaigns. Specific undertakings discussed include: leveling the playing field for working families, building a neighborhood team, organizing at places of worship, helping the homeless, finding balanced news, holding extremists accountable, reaching out to conservatives, reaching out to diverse constituencies, and helping the census count everybody.
