.... policies are carried out by a 75 member board that is geographically distributed. The Board of Directors are elected by secret ballot.2 Brady Act The Brady Act was approved by Congress in November of 1993 and was then signed into law by President Clinton later in the month.

.... had denounced the idea of sexual harassment as 'feminist invention'. It is acts like this that are aiding in the 'moral annihilation' of politics. The overall impact of such politics is undermining the intelligence of the American populous by turning political campaigning into a childlike power struggle. Both the Democrats and Republicans have reverted to a state of guerrilla media warfare. Every time election year rolls around we begin to hear the usual complaints of how politics is morally corrupt.
