workers are smart enough to realize once they are in the voting booth these clowns are not there with them.

Smile and LIE in their faces.

from attemptin intimidation...

http://projectvote.org/voter-intimidation.html

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 prohibit persons from intimidating or attempting to intimidate, threaten or coerce another person for the purpose of interfering with their right to vote freely in federal elections. However, the maximum penalty for conviction on a charge of voter intimidation under federal guidelines is a fine and/or no more than one year in prison,

and let them know the consequences of breaking the law

reports to prison? Did anybody go to jail for illegal Wall Street activity? I agree with you, wholeheartedly. I'd like to see more than just a handful doing the perp walk.

for drug possession...well, poor people do.

Like that would make a difference.

Time. They need to spend time for such a crime. How can this be watered down to such a small blip in politics? It has to be a major crime to coerce or threaten or bribe voters. Voting is the centrepiece of democracy and it is sacred.

I will not give up.

I am looking for them to suffer a huge defeat soon and very soon

“Now listen to the first three aims of the corporatist movement in Germany, Italy and France during the 1920s. These were developed by the people who went on to become part of the Fascist experience:
(1) shift power directly to economic and social interest groups;
(2) push entrepreneurial initiative in areas normally reserved for public bodies;
(3) obliterate the boundaries between public and private interest -- that is, challenge the idea of the public interest.
This sounds like the official program of most contemporary Western governments.”

― John Ralston Saul, The Unconscious Civilization

Looking at SCOTUS rulings favoring the corporatist. Look at wealth distribution. Look at the monopolies in food production, media and energy. Look at who pays taxes. Look at banksters walking while a a small time thief sits in prison. We are the frog cooking in boiling water and and have no way to lower the heat the way things are.

One key factor is demonization and diminution of unions, simply people organizing for their own benefit, are at a century low but a figment of legal maneuvering allows corporations to have more power than any one man. I thing the strong front is a big crushing bulldozer.

Employers coercing employees to vote absentee in their presence for their choice and sign and seal and give the ballots to the corporation?

How fuggin' dare them?

Instead all they talk about is their fuggin' horse race polls 24/7

If the CEO is perceived as a real prick by his employees, or treats his employees poorly, what better way to return the favor than the anonimity of the voting booth?

So there is no problem here.

....to fire people if President Obama is re-elected. No problem here?
I think you have forgotten to include your tag

Wow.. you should probably get a job there, sounds like you take directions very well.

Stop them in their tracks.

We still have a pretty much secret ballot in this country. It is absolutely essential for the employees of such a company to vote as they please and then lie to the boss about it if necessary.

Some people don't deserve to be told the truth. These bullying corporate bastards are first on the list.

This is dangerous shit they're trying.

....oh, wait.......

Election Rmoney and there will be trouble

this crap would be the leading story on the nightly news programs. Now it's barely a blip............

it's scary

F-A-S-C-I-S-T-S!

a lot of people think it is alright, can't stop it, both sides do it, and a million other irrational arguments to accept it.

You know, if they haven't laid them off THIS term, WHY would they lay them off next one??? Considering consumer spending up, confidence is up, jobs are up, etc. Oh yes.. so that the scumbag assholes like Siegel can build "the biggest house in America," aka the Queen of Verssaille. Frankly, most of their employees probably hate their asses, and will vote for Obama just to spite them.

as part of their dues.

and that employee's union dues were used to aid a political candidate that the employee did not necessarily support.

are seperate.

If I want my IBEW to contribute to political causes, I would donate to COPE!

I wish people would get educated.
