Only to say that he was president. He doesn't want the job, he wants the bragging rights.

Pressuring employees to vote for the boss' presidential pick by threatening them with job loss is voter intimidation, a Federal crime.

There's a line between a boss suggesting to one's employees to vote for his or her pick and coercing them by threatening their livelihood. Those CEO's who did the latter crossed that line into voter intimidation and/or blackmail.

enforce it. Make an example of one CEO doing this and I think the others will back off.

Rmoney himself needs to be confronted with his urgings to these CEO's. He needs to be called on his ethics and embarrassed.

Employees need to be told that they don't have to vote the way their employer tells them. Their vote is their vote and it is their right to vote for whomever they want.

Crap like Rmoney is pulling on this needs to be stopped.

He's a good example of why we need explicit laws to address issues like this. There are people with no ethics.
