After reading all the above posts, I want to ask this question. If you had a job and your employer sent you a letter requesting you to contribute to Obama's Presidential campaign fund....be honest....would you resent it? Would you contribute? Would you fear for your job if you didn't?

My union is and was always far more supportive of Democrat candidates. I was very involved in local union activities and was one who could be counted on without question when manpower was needed.
Everyone who knew me knew my political views, which by the way, were held by more than a few other Teamsters. It was never an issue and never kept me from being instrumental in my union's activities.
