Kerry Hires Ala. Woman Fired for Sticker
September 14, 2004 11:50 PM EDT

DETROIT - Democrat John Kerry has a new campaign worker helping him drum up support in Alabama after hiring a woman who was fired for displaying the presidential candidate's bumper sticker on her car.

Kerry called Lynne Gobbell on Tuesday after reading a newspaper story describing how she had been fired last Thursday from her job packing cellulose insulation at a Moulton, Ala., plant.

Gobbell said her former employer had told her she could either work for him or Kerry. She said Kerry told her, "Let him know that as of today, you're working for John Kerry."

1. Maybe he can get her a job in government if he wins
In fact, maybe he could get her a job at OSHA, which would be able to conduct a little "surprise" inspection of her old employers' plant.

Now that's a thoughtful idea.
Impractical, but so pleasant.

8. Her old boss may just need to give that idea...
a little thought. He may lose a little sleep between now the election, he should be getting his plant in order to pass that next inspection. LOL

6. I guess you need a Bush sticker on your head to keep your job in-----
the South, and next the right Church sticker.

13. Not only has Kerry already started creating jobs,
what's also important to note when discussing this is that he's finding jobs for people Republicans put out of work.

That was a good move.
