Can someone tell who are Cheney and Tipper Gore?

Tipper Gore

Tipper Gore is the wife of Vice President Al Gore. She is a well-known advocate for families, women and children and is actively involved in issues related to mental health, education and homelessness.

As Mental Health Policy Advisor to the President, Mrs. Gore is committed to eradicating the stigma associated with mental illness and educating Americans about the need for quality, affordable mental health care. In June of 1999, Mrs. Gore chaired the first ever White House Conference on Mental Health that addressed stigma, discrimination and parity in mental health care. In 1990, Mrs. Gore founded Tennessee Voices for Children, a coalition to promote the development of services for children and youth with behavioral, emotional, substance abuse, or other mental health problems. She also served as co-chair of the Child Mental Health Interest Group, a non-partisan group of Congressional and Administration spouses.

As Special Advisor to the Interagency Council on the Homeless, Mrs. Gore works continuously to raise public awareness of homeless issues and to improve the effective delivery of federal homeless assistance resources and program coordination at the state and local level. She has experienced great success with her efforts as co-founder and chair of Families for the Homeless, a non-partisan partnership of families. Most recently, she partnered with the National Alliance for the Homeless to co-author The Way Home: Ending Homelessness in America, a collection of photography by Mrs. Gore and other prominent photographers focusing on solutions to end the problem of homelessness.

In 1996, Mrs. Gore published, Picture This, A Visual Diary, which is a personal photographic representation of life as wife of the Vice President. Proceeds from this book were donated to the National Health Care for the Homeless Council in Nashville, TN.

Since 1996, Mrs. Gore has served as Co-Chair of "America Goes Back to School," an initiative launched by the Department of Education to work with parents, teachers and students to help promote a better learning environment among our nation's children.

In 1978 and 1979, as Chair of the Congressional Wives Task Force, Mrs. Gore helped draw attention to the issue of violence in the media and its affect upon children. She subsequently co-founded the Parents' Music Resource Center in 1985 to promote parental and consumer awareness of the various themes in popular entertainment that are marketed toward children. Her first book, Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society is a guide to parenting and the media.

Mrs. Gore received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Boston University in 1970 and her Master's degree in Psychology from George Peabody College at Vanderbilt University in 1975. Mrs. Gore worked as a newspaper photographer for the Nashville Tennessean until her husband was elected to Congress in 1976.

Born Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson on August 19, 1948, Mrs. Gore grew up in Arlington, Virginia; she was nicknamed Tipper by her mother. In 1970, she married Al Gore. They have four children: Karenna (August 6, 1973), Kristin (June 5, 1977), Sarah (January 7, 1979) and Albert III (October 19, 1982). On July 4, 1999, Karenna and her husband, Dr. Drew Schiff, gave birth to their first son, Wyatt Gore Schiff. Wyatt is the Gores' first grandchild.

Ms. Cheney
(is mary cheney???)



Mary Cheney, the daughter and campaign manager of Vice President d**k Cheney whose identity as a lesbian became an issue in the presidential campaign, has sold the rights to a memoir to Simon & Schuster for an advance of about $1 million, according to two people involved in the negotiations.

Ms. Cheney declined to speak about her personal life or opinions before the election, but many others brought up the issue.

Gay men and lesbians organized "Dear Mary" letter-writing campaigns imploring her to denounce President Bush's call for a constitutional amendment banning same-s*x marriage. During the Republican convention, Alan Keyes, the conservative commentator and candidate, called her a "selfish hedonist." And the Democratic presidential candidate, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, brought up her sexual identity in a presidential debate, drawing fierce criticism from her mother, Lynne Cheney, and the family's political allies.

In a statement on Tuesday, Ms. Cheney said she looked forward to writing about her experience.

"The first time I campaigned with my father I was 8 years old," she said. "I've been involved with campaigns as a family member, a staffer, and though I certainly never intended it, as a political target for the other side. It's been an amazing experience - uplifting, frustrating, educational and always entertaining."

Simon & Schuster said Ms. Cheney's memoir was the first book planned in a new line of titles about conservative politics and current events, overseen by Mary Matalin, a political consultant and close adviser to the Cheney family. Ms. Matalin was not involved in making the book deal, she and others said.

Robert Barnett, a Washington lawyer with a sideline making book deals for political figures like former President Bill Clinton and Karen P. Hughes, a Bush adviser, circulated to several publishers a proposal Ms. Cheney had written.

"We had several attractive offers," said Mr. Barnett, who had also negotiated Ms. Matalin's arrangement with Simon & Schuster. "In the end, Mary Cheney found great advantage to working with her old friend Mary Matalin."

People familiar with the proposal said Ms. Cheney promised fly-on-the-wall accounts of her father's campaigns and a portrait of the vice president different from his public persona.

Carolyn Reidy, president of adult books at Simon & Schuster, said Ms. Cheney's book would be not only an account of the campaigns by a singularly highly placed insider but also "about her own role, about being thrust into the spotlight unwanted and her opinions about that."

Simon & Schuster said it expects to publish the memoir in May 2006, two years before Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney leave office.

Ms. Matalin said Ms. Cheney felt she could speak out now.

"She had to remain reticent and her parents had to remain very reticent until the 2004 campaign was over because she had a job to do. We all had jobs to do," Ms. Matalin said. "But she is highly articulate and opinionated and interesting, and she thinks for herself and wants to say it in her own words."

Although Ms. Cheney has never spoken publicly about her views of the Bush administration's embrace of a constitutional ban on same-s*x marriage, her parents have said they disagree with the proposal.

A spokeswoman for the vice president declined to comment on the book deal on Tuesday. Ms. Matalin said Ms. Cheney had spoken to her parents in detail about her plans for the book before selling the rights. "They were very supportive," Ms. Matalin said.

Ms. Matalin herself has been associated with the Republican Unity Coalition, a group of gay and straight Republicans who hoped to make the party more welcoming to gay men and lesbians. Her friends said she privately opposed a constitutional amendment banning same-s*x marriage, although Ms. Matalin has also never commented publicly on that.

On Tuesday Ms. Matalin said she hoped Ms. Cheney's memoir would further her efforts to make her new imprint, Threshold, reflect what she sees as the changing nature of the conservative movement.

"I am doing a handful of books that reflect the breadth of conservatism today," Ms. Matalin said, "and I think she represents that, and she represents it beyond the narrow casting of 'she is a gay Republican.' "
