When we refer to 'political will', we mean an express, and hopefully public, commitment from a country's leader(s) to a sustained anti-corruption strategy. The World Bank and other donors sometimes refer to this as a 'demand-driven' approach, with demand coming from the country itself, rather than from outside.

No. The National Institute is not affiliated with any political or religious organization. We do develop partnerships with national organizations and corporations who are committed to maximizing the benefits and minimizing the harm of media on children and families.

Generally, political and social action activities are permissible purposes for a nonprofit corporation; however, certain activities may affect a nonprofit corporation’s tax-exempt status.

We are entirely non partisan and do not support any political party. We believe that there needs to be a system and infrastructure that supports people in being contributing members of society, however we have no guidelines as to how this should be done and do not support any political party, religion or alternative doctrine in any formal or financial way.

Like the weather, there is certainly "plenty of it". Vermont has always had a reputation for being extremely independent. There is as much variety of thought and politics in Brattleboro as there are people. Liberals and conservatives alike and everything in between call Brattleboro home. Numerous people have mentioned that on a much smaller scale, Brattleboro reminds them of San Francisco.

The elephant represents the Republican Party, and the donkey represents the Democratic Party. Political cartoonist Thomas Nast created both images for the publication Harper's Weekly in 1874. Nast created a marauding elephant to represent the "Republican vote." Republicans quickly embraced the symbol as their party's own.

We are not affiliated with any political party. Though we believe that the fight against anti-tobacco must be a political one, we are not "party political" in nature. The fight for personal, civil and human rights is usually independent of political parties. Of course, we will support any party that stands for the rights of smokers, and the right of choice.

Yes, to the extent that it is misinterpreted and to the extent that it is used for political purposes rather than to genuinely work towards sustainable improved productivity. Of course that's true of all numbers and measurements. The important thing is to keep the core objective in mind - to produce more quality product with less waste and fewer headaches. Therefore you should be very clear about exactly what you want and make sure you are measuring it.

The economic crisis of the late 1990's led to increased political unrest. A non-violent coup took place in January 2000 leading to the replacement of Jamil Mahuad with Gustavo Noboa as President. Since that time the political situation on the mainland has been stable. Political demonstrations occur sporadically and are usually in protest of the government's handling of the economy. Past demonstrations have been marked by burning tires, blocked streets, and Molotov cocktails.

I am a small l liberatarian. I do not think the Constitution is a 'living document'. Gun control is unconstitutional. Campaign finance reform is unconstitutional. I believe very strongly in the Bill of Rights. Our Founding Fathers would not recognize our gummint as it exists today. The main purpose of gummint is to protect its citizens and provide necessary infrastructure and services. There is nothing in the Constitution about social engineering.

No. We are a group of fellow teachers who have recognized that there is an information gap that short circuits the democratic process within the teachers unions. We aim to fill that gap. Our members represent a diversity of political viewpoints and backgrounds. CTEN is not an advocacy group so we can't answer that question. Only you can decide whether or not leaving the union is the right thing to do.

No. The Campaign For Life is an outreach by Christians to other Christians in the Church and to the world. We believe that America's Christian community has too long permitted the defense of our innocent unborn to be marginalized as a mere political issue. We believe that like all biblical matters, the defense of our innocent unborn is truly a spiritual issue.
