Summary

"Firefighters, police officers, garbage collectors. Did you know these people work for you? They are parts of the government, the group of men and women who run the country. When you reach the age of eighteen, you will be able to vote to elect some of the people whose jobs are to make the lives of Americans better. But before you vote, you'll need to know how government works and about all the people who have a part in running our democracy. That's what this book will tell you. It will explain everything you need to know when you grow up to vote"--Inside jacket
