Romney caught telling employers to tell employees how to vote. Caught on tape.
"In a June 6, 2012 conference call posted on the anti-union National Federation of Independent Business’s website, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney instructed employers to tell their employees how to vote in the upcoming election.
Romney was addressing a group of self-described "small-business owners." Twenty-six minutes into the call, after making a lengthy case that President Obama's first term has been bad for business, Romney said:"I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections. And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, I hope, I hope you pass those along to your employees."
The call raises the question of whether the Romney campaign is complicit in the corporate attempts to influence employees' votes that have been recently making headlines. On Sunday, In These Times broke the news that Koch Industries mailed at least 45,000 employees a voter information packet that included a flyer endorsing Romney and a letter warning, “Many of our more than 50,000 U.S. employees and contractors may suffer the consequences [of a bad election result], including higher gasoline prices, runaway inflation, and other ills.” Last week, Gawker obtained an email in which the CEO of Westgate Resorts, Florida billionaire David Siegel, informed his 7,000 employees that an Obama victory would likely lead to layoffs at his company. This week, MSNBC’s Up with Chris Hayes unveiled an email by ASG Software Solutions CEO Arthur Allen in which he, too, warned employees that an Obama second term would spell layoffs.
In the June call, Romney went on to reassure his audience that it is perfectly legal for them to talk to their employees about how to vote:
"Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision"
----
If you can't win, make sure your buddies and corporate shitheads blackmail their own employees to vote for Romney under the notion of that they will get fired.
- these guys are unbelievable. What evil assholes and scum.. Wow.monolith
- I don;t see the issue. A business owner can make his case. Doesn't mean employees have to do anything but listen.ETM
- As well, Romney even said, "or whatever your political view". He didn't say "make your employees vite for me."ETM
- *vote
I dislike Romney, but this is a bit of a witch hunt, isn't it?ETM - I would guarantee the same thing can be found on liberal fronts as well.ETM
- Doesn't make it right. Just shy of voter intimidation in my book.aaux
- This is the republican dream though. Rich people tell poor people who to vote for.aaux
- EXACTLY..aaux.. that's what it really is.. they are threatening people's jobs on the tail of great recession and intimidate them to vote for Republicans.monolith
- them to vote for Republicans.monolith
- Vote is secret they can say whatever you will be alone when you voteernexbcn
- So campaigning is restricted to candidates. Aren't you trying to force your opinions on each other here, right now?ETM
- I call BS on this one. Unless I see proof that they are intimidating people, threatening jobs etc.,ETM
- ETM is making very good rational sense.whhipp
- One ceo said employees jobs would be on the line if Obama was re-elected. Simple it's intimidation. Here http://thinkprogress…chossy

so ETM, you don't find anything wrong him holding a conference talking a long winded garbage how Obama is terrible for economy and business and then goes and tells them "wink wink" go and tell your employees to vote for him basically.
Then, you have already 5 stories where companies are already blackmailing their workers and telling them basically they will get fired if they don't vote for Romney.
You don't find anything wrong with that?
And no, democrats would never do this because that's not how people roll and we would have heard it by now.
No, this is republican scum through and through.
- If there is real proof of blackmailing jobs, fine. However, pushing opinion on it's own, is not a crime.ETM
- And if you really think all liberal are shiny, happy people, you are as naive as the right.ETM
- http://www.lifenews.…ETM
- Clearly you'll just go on the attack to anyone. As thread history proves, I am more liberally inclined.ETM
- But I say one thing you disagree with, you go attack. You've lost credibility to me.ETM

What a great bunch of evil fucking criminals. I dont' get it.. this should be completely illegal.
- Our conservative SCOTUS made it legal for business owners to do this. Thanks neocons!aaux
- Waiting for whhipp to explain how this fits into his american dreamaaux
- They circumvent legality issues saying it's economic policies that may cost jobs.ETM
- Rather than saying he'd fire you.ETM
- He's giving everyone he is employing a fair understanding that if he is taxed further he will not be able to continue... he is employing them, they are his responsibility, he doesnt want to lay anyone off... its a fair assessment. I applaud a man that states what may happen instead of making life altering decisions to his employees without warning or trying to help them.whhipp

Romney's son says he wanted to beat up Obama
- the only reason he wouldn't actually do that is because there is security. (not because it's wrong)lambsy
- I have a feeling Obama can take care of such a 'threat' himself. No secret service needed.ETM
- The most fighting Romney's sons have likely done is over who get the financial section of the paper.ETM

While I don't find it particularly wrong for a company to pitch to their workers a particular viewpoint, the threats made by some are way over the top.
David Siegel for instance says "If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company." Now that is a threat, especially when he says "me or my company".
So let's get this straight, if his personal tax burden goes up, he'll fire people. That is close to criminal I would have thought.
