Ordinary People Doing the Extraordinary: The Story of Ed and Joyce Koupal and the Initiative ProcessS

Dwayne Hunn

4.9/5 (9303 ratings)

Description:The story of how a very comfortable upper-middle-class car salesmen, wife, and family left their suburban lifestyle to build from scratch a volunteer, muckraking, public policy reform organization that revived the citizen-based, grassroots (as in without much money) initiative process for California and the nation… This little book touches on Peoples Lobby’s Clean Environment Initiatives, Political Reform Act, Western Bloc Safe Nuclear Power Campaigns, and birthing of the National Initiative Movement, while portraying the wonderful characters of Ed and Joyce Koupal. The extraordinary works of these seemingly ordinary people led Ralph Nader to repeat:“People's Lobby was the most powerful social organizing movement I have seen post World War II… “The Koupal's People's Lobby could organize an initiative almost at will… “During the seventies, they were the best grassroots organization in the nation…”Nader also distributed this inspiring little book to over 60 of his 2008 presidential campaign aides. If you like reading of hearty, good, character rich everyday heroes challenging and beating big money, power, and shaky politics, you should like reading this book. By the end of the book you should understand why Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. would sadly say in 1976, “Ed Koupal was a rare spirit who followed his vision with a relentless energy that this practical world finds hard to understand.” Ed and Joyce Koupal and the spirits they build in People's Lobby were the kind of spirits we need more of today.
