The boss wants you to know he thinks it's a very bad idea for you to vote for Barack Obama.

Leaving no stone unturned in foraging votes for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Charles and David Koch, the sole principals of the privately-held Koch Industries, are making sure that their employees and retirees know who the bosses are supporting in this year’s presidential election.

AlterNet obtained a packet sent to a retiree of a plant owned by Koch Industries in Virginia that is introduced by a letter from Dave Robertson, president and chief operating officer of Koch Industries, that warns of dire consequences should readers elect the wrong candidate. Accompanying the letter, on a separate page, is a checklist of Koch-endorsed candidates.

Isn't that illlegal? It seems to me that this is a form of suppression of voter rights. Someone ought to look into the legality of it.
