That's an odd way to phrase the question, but I'll let you know how good the book is. All we really, really know is that the C Street gang was secretive, was ideologically homogeneous, was religiously motivated, and had a religious infrastructure in their lives that emphasized primacy of advancement of the faith over traditional values, and that emphasized members' prerogative to disregard in their own lives what they favored in national life (for example, "defending" marriages made up of one man and one woman... even while disregarding the significance of their own infidelity.)
Knowing Matthews the question was the devil's advocate asking "and so what? They're failing so far."
A governor does not introduce legislation. A senator or congressman may sit in that chamber for 10 terms and never sponsor a bill. They do however weigh in on bills in both examples, in the congressional/senatorial example, helping to send the bill forward or destroying it.... nor do I say that I could not find such activism in Ensign's activities (for example) if I expended effort on it. That's not the point.
The point of C Street was not to lobby for an individual bill... it was and is to continually inject leaders who follow their agenda throughout not only government, but also business, education, media, and other avenues of human endeavor. They are in a word totalitarian in this endeavor. Check out the "Seven Mountains" video here.

Now it's important to note that because an organization
wants world domination, does not establish that said agenda has been accomplished in whole or in part. It is also worth noting that every individual subsumed in said organization (to the extent of living as a group in that organization's housing in this case,) is necessarily a committed agent for said organization.
"The Family" is not supposed to sponsor bills on behalf of "the family." It's supposed to groom leadership that will sponsor such bills. That's been done successfully for decades now, on behalf of interests concerned with determining issues of war and peace, governance, etc., in terms of a biblical agenda. "The family" is meant to groom leadership in said movement.
If you are in favor of a biblically governed America, no big deal. If you believe America should be governed in the interests of all Americans, regardless of creed, this may be of interest to you.
But hey, I haven't read the book yet.
