Will you write an honest review for Amazon or Good Reads? Can you have it ready on the day the book goes on sale? Happy to give you a free book for a review, or discounted ... super to have some regular-price reviews for algorithm reasons (doesn't matter for books going to politicians and organizations).
Can you host a workshop, perhaps a potluck, for your friends? Are you a member of a Meetup, volunteer with a political group, or member of a bookclub? Can you ask if they'd like me to run a workshop?
I'd like to leave a copy with each Democratic Senator and representative (for anyone on their staff to read), and also county or state Democratic party offices. Send as a gift from Amazon with a note from you. (1-3 books for your rep and senators.)
Some reviewers will accept ebooks, others want a print copy. It takes about $10 to send one to regular Good Reads/Amazon reviewers.

It appears that the Vatican Ambassador to the US, Carlo Maria Vigano, played sneaky politics with the Pope's visit, getting Kim Davis near enough to the Pope that her team could imply Papal support.
The allegation is he used the Pope as a pawn for his political views, using him to rally conservative-minded Catholics to place their religion in the service of politics.

Summary
"Don’t like the solutions? Don’t admit there’s a problem." Mark Reynolds writes that Republicans in Congress stop denying the science around climate change after organizations like the Citizens Climate Lobby show them solutions that don't clash with their values. They didn't look at a real problem, not like the first solutions, and so dig up their own solutions. Instead they were paralyzed
