	Mary Bono - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary Whitaker Bono (born October 24, 1961), an American politician, has been a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives since 1998, representing the 45th District of California (map) which includes most of central and eastern Riverside County, including Palm Springs.
		Unlike her husband, who was a loyal supporter of Newt Gingrich, Mary Bono has a moderate-to-liberal voting record, which is somewhat surprising given that she represents one of the most Republican districts in California.
		Bono said in May 2006 that she depended on royalties from Sonny Bono's estate to supplement her $165,200 congressional salary in order pay her son's college expenses [3] [4].

	Copyright Term Extension Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The act was named after the late Congressman Sonny Bono (who was killed in a ski accident more than nine months before the act became law), who had favored this position as a songwriter and filmmaker even prior to his entry into politics.
		Opponents of the Bono Act consider the legislation to be little more than corporate welfare and have tried (but failed thus far) to have it declared unconstitutional, claiming that such an act is not "necessary and proper" to accomplishing the Constitution's stated purpose of "promot[ing] the progress of science and useful arts".
		Oral arguments were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on October 9, 2002, and on January 15, 2003 the court held the CTEA constitutional by a 7-2 decision.
