Kerry Hired Fired Woman (bumper sticker)
http://www.channelcincinnati.com/politics/3731738/detail.html

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.

SURVEY
Do you think a boss should have the right to fire someone for displaying a bumper sticker for a political candidate?

Yes, but they would have to ban bumper stickers for both parties.
Yes, they can choose not to have a certain candidate represented.
No, the boss has no right to stifle political displays.

Results | Disclaimer

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."

5. Wow
President Kerry is ALREADY busy creating Jobs.

Now if this were Bush, the woman would have to at the very leasdt be a convicted Felon, or a festering old Reagan Retread to be offered a job...

7. SURVEY
No, the boss has no right to tell you what to put on YOUR OWN car.
However, I can see no bumper stickers of ANY kind on a company car or
not allow stickers inside a company owned building. I also think if you can't have Dem you shouldn't be able to have Repers either.

Perfectly innocent reason - I just want to send her another bumper sticker for her growing collection:
