Hardcover. 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. Laugh yourself into political action with this fable about rats invading Congress and citizens revolting! Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
