Exactly. Unions have been doing it very aggressively for years. Now that some Lib hears a rumor that some company asked its employees to vote Republican, it becomes the new chapter in "oppression of democracy in America."
I don't agree with it but the irony is that in modern times, there is a lot less telling people how to vote than in the past. In the 1800s and early 1900s, your ward boss watched you put your ballot in the box so you couldn't even lie about voting the way they wanted. And if you didn't vote right, you might even get beat up. And if you did vote right, you got free booze.
I always said that the only good thing about getting laid off was not having to look at all the Obama bumperstickers in their parking lot anymore. That I relied on the bus made it even more painful.
I used to go by a coffeehouse when I lived in Seattle with one of those big red and blue Fairey Obama posters on the window. I felt so bad for those poor employees.
I’ve never liked the mix of politics in the work place. Ever.
