Parents struggle too, especially to find ways to communicate with their children and to show how much they care. This practical and valuable little book presents a proven method of staying in touch with your children throughout their school years. "Lunch Box Letters" is the result of the experience of two parents who--separately--wrote notes to their children on a regular basis and were immensely encouraged, by the results. Now they show how you can use their successful method to communicate with your own kids.... They will be thrilled. And you'll find that with this book to help you, the message takes almost no time at all.-- (01/24/2011) [Review of previous edition: ] Though Lunch Box Letters includes 75 two-sided and brightly printed tear-out notes ready for your own note to your child, in this case the message really is more important than the medium. Sperandeo and Zimmerman's thoughts on making lunch box letters--or any other kind--work for you is by far the most valuable part of the book.... This book is intended to be used cover-to-cover. Don't simply give in to the temptation to pull one of the perforated letters out and start scribbling. Sperandeo and Zimmerman make a good case for written communication with the young people in your life and how to act on it. It's advice that literary-minded parents will take to heart.-- (11/01/2000)

Bill Zimmerman is one of the most seasoned political media consultants in the country. In the 1980s, he had a number of successful clients, including Sen. Sen. Tim Wirth is a member of the United States Senate. Gov. Gary Hart Mayor Harold Washington, Toney Anaya, and Representatives.

Sam Gejdenson and Lane Evans. Bill changed his concentration to ballot initiatives in 1988. That year, he ran the campaign for California's Proposition 103, which succeeded despite $99 million in opposing spending. The initiative created the new statewide office of Insurance Commissioner and established the state's first rate regulation for automobile insurance.

Throughout the first 20 years of its implementation, it saved ratepayers more than $60 billion. Since then, Zimmerman & Markman has helped enact landmark legislation, including the first physician-assisted death statute in Oregon in 1994 and the first medicinal marijuana law in California in 1996. Bill managed 17 ballot proposals in ten states between 1996 and 2008, working with the Drug Policy Alliance, to alter various areas of our country's broken drug policies. Thirteen of the seventeen teams were victorious.

Bill led the victorious Proposition 36 campaign in California in 2000, which offered treatment instead of jail to many nonviolent marijuana possession offenders. Since then, 35,000 offenders have been diverted from prison each year, saving taxpayers millions of dollars each year. Bill was the driving force behind Proposition 63 in California, which imposed a 1% surtax on income over $1 million to fund mental health initiatives for the homeless and at-risk students. Bill worked as a strategic communications consultant for MoveOn.org from 2002 through 2008.

MoveOn.org's early anti-war advertising was designed by Zimmerman & Markman. Bill oversaw MoveOn.org's $23 million campaign to defeat George W. Bush in 2004, while Zimmerman & Markman generated practically all of the campaign's advertising. Bill Zimmerman is a Ph.D. holder. from the University of Chicago, where he also taught for a short time, as well as at Brooklyn College.

He was a member of the Vietnam Peace Campaign and Medical Help for Indochina as an activist in the early 1970s. He orchestrated the food airlift that ended the FBI siege at Wounded Knee, which was besieged by the American Indian Movement, in 1973. Troublemaker: A Memoir from the Front Lines of the Sixties, as well as two additional books and several magazine articles, are among his works. He also founded and served as Chairman of Medical Help for El Salvador (1981-1993), a humanitarian relief organization.
