I'm sure if that was the only reason she was fired then there would be lawyers knocking on her door, eager to represent her.

Well I'd agree with you if this story is true. I'm just very skeptical, mainly because she saw an lawyer and was informed (I assume) that the firing was legal. Because I can't for the life of me see a lawyer letting her out of his office if he thought there was a valid lawsuit.

You may fire employees for their political ideology. In the 2000 election, some hippie establishment in MA fired one of their employees for being for Bush and the ruling was that you cannot discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, or sexual orientation, but political persuasion is not protected. So all you Republican employers might give that some thought...

Hi Newbie. Your voice was heard loud and clear. We don't have a monitor here that tells us what we need to talk about.
Opinion here counts too. It's a free country.

GOOD..the fat b*tch should have lost her job..LOL
JUST KIDDING.
Thank God the task manager at my company is a Bush/Cheney supporter! He did however get drunk at the company golf outing and pull his pants down as a joke.
We are not allowed to drink at company outings anymore

Let's face it - the same thing happens in Hollywood in reverse - if you are an outspoken Republican you may not find work. The only difference is that I don't believe a word this lady says.

In the People's Republic of Vermont, you would be ASTOUNDED at the amount of Kerry stickers on the teacher's cars in school parking lots. Many are affixed right next to the "Clavelle for Governor" stickers. Peter Clavelle is the former mayor of Burlington, and the Progressive candidate for Governor. He is somewhat to the left of Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders.

She REALLY cried when the lawyer told her that she did not have a case. Does anyone really believe that she would have not been suing her ex exployer if she could find a lawyer to take the case.

She was fired because she was ignorant and incompetent. Her Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker just validated the employer's decision.

"it is obviously in direct defiance of American ideals. We cherish freedom of speech. That freedom is pretty meaningless if you're punished for exercising it."You are correct. If I were a fed prosecutor, I would be looking at the particulars of the company's org and the facts surrounding the firing as a violation of 18 USC 241. Also for a violation of 18 USC 245,b,5 for intimidating this woman's free speech regarding lawful election activities and vote, unrelated to her employment.
The company better have real cause, else they should be fined and the perps jailed.

Key difference - In the woman fired by Moslem employers case - there are Federal laws against firing someone for their religion. I know this may come as a shock for most people on Free Republic, your political affiliation is not a religion. Politics MAY be a LEGAL basis for discrimination by your employer unless you are a union goon or work in one of the more socialist states.

Maybe she is a victim of downsizing. Oops, wrong.
To: GeorgiaFreeper
It is also against the law to put a sticker on your window so that it blocks your rear view mirror. At least where I come from.
