And in this context it not only "promotes" what an employ should vote but it also suggests, indirectly, a more active role in the campaign (not only "your" vote but your friend's, too).

The end result is the same. The big-spenders in power will result in a bad business environment (except for a business that sucks at the government teat). So it behoves those people to try and avoid that, or they too will be at risk job wise.

It's merely a statement of reality and would have happened if the boss had not sent the letter. Sending it was a nice heads up to the employees, frankly (maybe they're still waiting for Obama to pay their bills?).

Isn't this move against federal law?
