I as a State Employee and a member of the Army Reserve had a "Impeach Clinton" bumper sticker, my only defense was that it was on the passenger side and that was the Wife's side and that it was "her" bumper sticker, even though I agreed with it.

I cannot infringe my Wife's freedom of speech (can't even slow her down ;^)

LOL. The rules read that your wife's car can have a bumper sticker, even if you are in it. I'm still rifling through the cases, and sent an e-mail to Chad at the Deadpelican apprising him of this thread.

I'm amazed that public servants can have so much of their freedom of speech curtailed. THere are a number of places wehre donations of $100 or so to political parties were met with ramifications. One guy's wife donated $100 or $200 from a joint checking account, adn the guy was told, "one more time, and you will be dismissed." He didn't even know his wife made the donation. Hope he stays on her good sidde, 'cause now she has a way to get him fired ;-)
