Congragulations Piers Morgan

[gejohnston]

on being awarded the Sarah Brady Visionary Award at Brady Center event at the Beverly Hills Hotel. While I'm sure the BHH is a nice place, I wonder how the Joyce Foundation feels about that choice?

Being a hick and not up on all cosmopolitan mores, isn't kind of tacky to name an award after yourself?

6. Named for both, and she runs the place

Sarah became Chair of Handgun Control, Inc. (HCI) in 1989. Two years later, she became Chair of the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, HCI's sister organization, a 501(c)(3) organization working to reduce gun violence through education, research, and legal advocacy. In December 2000, the Boards of Trustees for Handgun Control and the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence voted to honor Jim and Sarah Brady's hard work and commitment to gun control by renaming the two organizations the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Sarah serves as Chair of the Brady Campaign and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
