I mentioned earlier that I think the goal of non-partisanship in hiring is critical to an effective public service. I think generally there's a sense that we do fairly well on this as a country. We've talked about the rights of public servants to run for office or to hold office. Can you describe for me, though, what the rights around partisan activities of public service staff are—the right to engage in the election process and that kind of thing?
