Tipper Gore
Mary Elizabeth "Tipper" Gore (born August 19, 1948) is the wife of former Vice President of the United States Al Gore.In 1984, she co-founded the PMRC (Parents' Music Resource Center). Critics of the PMRC, including Jello Biafra and Frank Zappa, have accused the PMRC of conducting public and under-the-table censorship campaigns against various recording artists and have pointed out the PMRC's ties to the American religious right.
In 2000, Tipper Gore began to make public appearances as a "mental health" advocate. She has been criticised by human rights organizations for her ambiguous stance towards involuntary psychiatric treatment, including forced drugging and commitment of people labelled mentally ill.
