18 wheeler company putting Bush stuff on Trucks

[Spangle]

And the employees have to drive them all over the country.

The report I have is it's a sign of some sort, showing the Bush/Cheney 2004 logo.

A friend of mine drives for this company and he has protested the issue. IT's drive it as is, or ......

The only funny part of this is this guy isn't really political. But he will be voting for Kerry now and making sure there ae signs/stickers on his own personal auto!

Can you believe a company would do this to their employees???

I've wondered if we went to the media with this story if it could be stopped some how. Would the media be intrested in this sort of story??

1. as soon as he pulls the rig out..he can slap kerry stickers all over the

truck and anti bush stickers.....they won't know until he comes back and he can say someone else did it...

5. He'd be ratted out by other truckers before he's an hour out.

Not all truckers are assholes, but some assholes are truckers.

18. I dunno about that Kerry Jet thing

pretty cool, but somehow im chokin on it.
Kerry seems like a Chevy to me. Kerryvette?
No, wait, we need to win this race, dont we?
Big Block Ford power all the way.

24. Kerry would probably just order a crate engine for his ride, but it would

not be sedate. I'm thinking a replica Cobra with an new all-alloy big-cube FE. Retro and modern at the same time.

28. THAT would get my vote

Id vote twice if he'd buy one for me.
either a SOHC or a HI-RISER :P

[Spangle]

19. Sort of the game plan

Only going to use removeable stuff. But big enough to cover the Bush sign until he gets where he is going.

Several Red states haul.

2. send your pal some magnetic stickers, that way he can take them

to whichever tractor he's driving at the time :evilgrin:

[Spangle]

20. Great Idea

That way he can put them up/take them down several times and not worry about messing them up!

3. I saw your subject line "18 wheeler company putting Bush stuff on Trucks"

and thought "Alright! Get your crap outta John Kerry's White House!"
I thought he was actually showing some forethought for a change.:)

6. You really ARE an optimist! eom

[RC]

17. I thought the same thing

And wondered what they were hiding

[Spangle]

21. LOL!

Yep, i NOW see that it reads that way. I'm not the greatest writer.. LOL!

[NMDemDist2]

4. i also beleive that would be considered an "in kind" contribution

and there is a $2000 limit on the amount of "advertising" the boss can do


another reason for unions IMHO

[Spangle]

22. Was told them were donors to Bush

Don't know how much.

But I'm going to make a note to check into wither or not they are claiming this "donation."

7. Are the Teamsters backing Georgie?

I dont beleive that they are.

[MercutioATC]

16. Nope, they've endorsed Kerry.

[Spangle]

23. Company is Florida based

Don't think it has a Union/Teamsters. I don't recall them ever mentioning being a member.

Reminds Me of Home Depot - Huge Stickers on Check Out Counters

that said "We Support Our Troops and Our GOVERNMENT" Haven't been back since - shop at Lowes now.

8. Time for an anonymous "tip" to the media..

"Hostile workplace" issue..

It could be framed like this..

_pResident Bush's popularity is falling, people do not believe he tells the truth, he started an unnecessary war and turned the whole world against us...so it's a safety issue too.. (what if some angry people decide to sabotage the truck, because they have lost jobs, and hate Bush..

or..

campaign finance laws may determine that the free advertising actually HAS a value.. maybe the boss might end up being fined for an illegal ad..

or...

tjhere may be something in the company handbook that prohibits politics in the workplace.

14. Love your Mama-caque!

Yo Barb!

[Spangle]

26. That politics in the work place woudl bite back

Since they are "working" on the road.. listening to politica shows, talking, etc. OUCH!

[DemoTex]

9. I just contributed enough to Kerry to get 100 bumper-stickers.

Hope I don't get arrested lurking around truck stops and rest areas. Know what I mean, Vern?

[alfredo]

10. good for you.

I love the Jim Varney picture. I miss him. He was such a good guy.

[voice of reason]

15. Rest Areas: The Bath Houses of the 90's n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Would that be Covenant...

with the "It's a child, not a choice" signs on the back?

[foolmeonce]

13. as most trucking co's are unionized.....

i don't see there being much support for this guy on the open road.

you should have your buddy give us the names of numbers of merchants they truck to and we can call and tell them we're not patronizing them anymore since seeing the trucks in their lot.

[Spangle]

27. Trying to get ahold of him now and ask.

It's one thing when your boss supports a different political agenda then you do. It's another thing when he/she is making you carry the sign. Blah! That is below the belt.

[Mr_Spock]

12. BTW, what is the NAME of this company?

Just curious :)

[Spangle]

29. I'll let you know as soon as possible.

I'm trying to get ahold of them to ask if it is ok to post it. Since he has all ready made some sort of an issue about it. (don't know how much) I don't know if posting it would point a finger at him. Hence, get him in trouble or fired.

25. Ive seen local trucks for Anlin Windows sporting Bush support stickers

quite disgusting. "We support the troops and George Bush"
Can you imagine driving a vehicle with that on it for a living?
there is a contact email on their website :P
