"Jones and McDermott restore meaning to democratic responsibility by finding that public evaluations affect Congress. In contrast to the popular depiction of the representatives controlling the represented rampant in the political science literature, Jones and McDermott show that the people are in control, determining not only the direction of policy in Congress, but also who stays, who retires, and who faces difficult reelection efforts. This book makes an important correction to our understanding of how Congress operates." ---Sean M. Theriault, University of Texas at Austin Voters may not know the details of specific policies, but they have a general sense of how well Congress serves their own interests; and astute politicians pay attention to public approval ratings. When the majority party is unpopular, as during the 2008 election, both voters and politicians take a hand in reconfiguring the House and the Senate. Voters throw hard-line party members out of office while candidates who continue to run under the party banner distance themselves from party ideology. In this way, public approval directly affects policy shifts as well as turnovers at election time. Contrary to the common view of Congress as an insulated institution, Jones and McDermott argue that Congress is indeed responsive to the people of the United States. David R. Jones is Professor of Political Science at Baruch College, City University of New York. Monika L. McDermott is Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham University.

Shackleford, Perez and Driscoll had two things in common: they attended the same

LAPD academy class fifteen years ago, and worked diligently and honestly at their

assignments. However, the lives of these conscientious cops are turned upside down as

the Department and Feds try to destroy the trio. Although the actions against the

protagonists seem unjust and unreasonable, readers may have to modify their sense of

morality to accept the volatile decision they make. Victims of their conspiracy include members of a Mexican drug cartel importing cocaine into Nogales Arizona Unfortunately, the cartel extends into unexpected areas of LA, putting family members in jeopardy. NOGALES CROSSING takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions as a series of breath-taking incidents culminates in an explosive event.
