Reply #51: Tell them you will comply with the regulations.

"...active campaigning for an office or for a specific candidate..."

Tell him that you would be willing to go to arbitration for a determination as to whether or not "...when you blast the president on the war..." constitutes "active campaigning" or not. My guess is that it does not.

Also, tell him that this complaint, and his handling of it is really just a more lucid version of "We got troops over there dieing for your Freedom, so SHUT THE FUCK UP!", and I'm not sure that since this has nothing to do with any contractual prohibition on politcal activity that it wouldn't constitute a "Hostile Work Enviroment" for you.

As far as "critising so hastily", I can't speak for you, but i know that *I* thought long and hard about this friggin' war before I decided it was a crock of shit. Nothing "hasty" about that.
