Sexual Harassment on Capital Hill

CNN reports that more than 50 lawmakers on Capital Hill have experienced sexual harassment from their male colleagues. This includes lawmakers from the Senate and House. It's reported that in this male dominated environment, young female workers are often unable to avoid sexual misconduct from their male counterparts. In response they are forced to keep quiet if they want to keep their job. These occurrences are so common that there are known "creep" lists of legislatures known to engage in these harassing activities. The fact that these types of illegal actions are performed on capital hill, where our country is run is despicable. Hopefully future investigations will cause reform and punishment to known offenders.
