How is ok for the Koch Brothers to tell (threaten) employees how to vote different?

Any different then when we were outraged at the same bs going on the the past two Russian elections?

    It is not just the Koch Brothers, it is Murray Oil and Gas and David Siegel. It is a new low for America. Along with all of the voter suppression efforts in 13 states. The message that is being sent to the rest of the world is, if your political party cannot win at the ballot box then stop the minorities, the college students and elderly from voting. The Repulicans have "all of a sudden" changed the rules for a problem that does not exist. We wave the flag for democracy, freedom, and a lot of Americans died for our rights. This President is villified, denigrated, disrespected, to the point that this country has resorted to nothing less than cheating to win an election.

    The Koch Brothers are among at least several CEO's of large companies using innuendo and threat of of job reductions to intimidate employees to vote Republican in the upcoming election.

    Billionaire William Koch is involved in his own Federal law suit for alleged kidnapping and possible tax fraud. Through his privately held companies -- Oxbow Carbon and Huron Carbon -- Bill Koch has given $3 million to the pro-Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future. Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire world wide casino owner and Israel's most ardent supporter has donated $5 million + to the Romney super PAC. Is it any wonder Romney favored going to war in Iran, until he flip flopped once again?

    An amnesty for Income Tax filers for holders off-shore accounts was declared by the IRS in 2009. Is it any wonder Romney won't show any tax returns prior to 2010?

    Do we will really want a President who will go back to the old Bush policies, who will owe his soul to people like the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson and might have committed a Federal Crime had it not been for the 2009 Amnesty?

    Ha hopefully they'll change their minds when they read what Mormons really think about Jews. Look it up on the internet

    A classic is this from their alleged Bible

    Jacob 4: 14

    But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people; and they despised the words

    of plainness, and killed the prophets, and sought for things that they could

    not understand. Wherefore, because of their blindness, which blindness came

    by looking beyond the mark, they must needs fall; for God hath taken away

    his plainness from them, and delivered unto them many things which they

    cannot understand, because they desired it. And because they desired it God

    hath done it, that they may stumble.

    Minor things such as the request by Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel to Mitt Romney to tell the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to stop doing proxy baptisms in the names of dead Jews, including Holocaust victims such as Wiesel's parents just shows their views have not changed

    Never mind blacks who the mormons believe that Cain’s seed were cursed with blackness and with a denial of the priesthood. This belief was institutionalized following Young’s address to a joint session of the Utah Territorial Legislature on February 5, 1852, in which he declared as a church doctrine (“true eternal principles the Lord Almighty has ordained”) the principle of denial of the priesthood to blacks, together with any governing role in a secular government or civil society. That same year the Utah legislature passed a law permitting slavery in the territory. The prohibition on blacks’ ordination to the priesthood remained in effect until 1978, when church leaders lifted the ban

    Its no longer as undesirable because of the fact the way unions tell their member the thank you to vote or how unions spend dues in help of applicants. Obama's regulations (Obamacare) have already brought about my coverage to circulate up and the advantages to circulate down. And its getting worse as next years plan is costing much greater and a maximum appropriate tier plan has been dropped.

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • Actually, if that can be proved it is a prosecutable offense as a felony level Federal crime.

    And it is no different than the forced/coerced elections in Russia and other places.

    they said they would simply close their business

    If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else's expense, then you have no right to compalin when they take your money and give it to someone else.

    It's amazing that people who think we can't afford doctors, hospitals and medication somehow think that we can afford doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

    Much of the social history of the western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.

    One of the consequences of such notions as entitlements is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something.

    I have never understood why it is GREED to want to keep the money you've earned, but not greed to want to take somebody else's money

    The letter plainly stated an employees choice was theirs and theirs alone. It then pointed out the business consequences of a second Obama term.

    Obama policies are bad for business. So - if you dont like growth or employment vote for Obama and join his other supporters on welfare and food stamps.
