Not the same exact situation, but this reminds me of a situation in 2000. My cousin works at the post office and she, as well as the other workers, were told by the higher-ups (more like practically threatened) that if they voted for G.W. and not Gore, they would lose their jobs. Of course like a mindless robot-fool, she got scared and did as told. I have since wised her up and she voted gop in the past election :-)
OMG (gosh)
Someone ought to be shot for this.
