That is the dumbest answer I've ever heard. It is not 'smart' to control your employees' personal opinions.


Doesn't sound dumb at all to me IF your company is involved at all with government contracts. Do think it needs to be reciprocated, as plenty of companies have tried to get around donation limits by ascribing them to individual employees, plus I'd like to know what my company is using the dollars earned off my labor to support. Can also think of instances where the donations of higher-ranking employees to causes contrary to the interests of the company might cause a media backlash.

If not involved is possible contracts or conflict of interest, then, yeah, you should ask why they want to know.



case in point in the news right now. Publix was giving a ton of money to a guy running for office who was Ag secretary or something like that. He had a good bit of say into how grocery stores are inspected. As a consumer, that's something I'd like to know about,.

Allentown police ignore vote of council and mayor:

Allentown Mayor Ray O’Connell has signed a bill decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana, making Allentown the seventh municipality in the state to take such action.

But the new law will not be enforced by Allentown Police, Chief Tony Alsleben announced Friday.


“Per the directive from the Lehigh County district attorney, the Allentown Police Department will enforce state law,” Alsleben said.

O’Connell, the city’s mayor since March, previously declined to comment on the ordinance which City Council passed by a 4-3 vote last week.
In a news release sent late Friday, O’Connell said the existing state law which calls for possession of a small amount of marijuana to be charged as a misdemeanor is “putting an indelible mark on the back of many otherwise law abiding citizens.”

Valley View: Lehigh Valley cities stirring the pot
“Our ordinance is not addressing the legalization of marijuana,” O’Connell said. “We are simply saying that possessions of small amounts of marijuana should be handled with a summons and not arrest and possible jail time.

The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!


Why aren’t the 13 Angry and heavily conflicted Democrats investigating the totally Crooked Campaign of totally Crooked Hillary Clinton. It’s a Rigged Witch Hunt, that’s why! Ask them if they enjoyed her after election celebration!


Sorry, I’ve got to start focusing my energy on North Korea Nuclear, bad Trade Deals, VA Choice, the Economy, rebuilding the Military, and so much more, and not on the Rigged Russia Witch Hunt that should be investigating Clinton/Russia/FBI/Justice/Obama/Comey/Lynch etc.


So the midterms are already rigged/illegitimate. Good thing the President will be going back to important things and not focusing on the 75 charges and numerous guilty please, oops, I mean witch hunt. (O/U is 13.5 tweets before he mentions it again)

White House slaps 25% tariff on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods


Well, WTF.

A little more then a week ago Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a trade war with China was "on hold".

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will be in China Saturday to help ease trade tensions between the two major trading partners.

I guess the 'yell FU & leave' sort of worked with NK, so why not try China... again.

I hope he's perfectly healthy when he gets impeached or voted out. I want him to realize that it has all come crashing down, that his ascendancy has brought the attention he never wanted to his financial dealings and the house of cards that is the Trump Org.
