I posed a hypothetical someplace above.

Your workplace subsists on government pork as a primary revenue source.

Is it OK for your employers to tell the employees that one side of a coming political season will increase business, while the other might gut it, resulting in layoffs?

If you maintain they should be forbidden from making such statements, by law, then what? Who may engage in political speech?

I'll take virtually any amount of distasteful speech in order to protect unfettered political speech (1st Amendment).
