Politicking
Politicking should be a right not a privilege. Anyone wishing to place a sign in their yard, use their time to knock on doors, or voice their opinion about ANY candidate seeking an office through the electoral process, should not be interfered with. While on personal time or off duty no employer including governmental should have the right to restrict an employee from showing support for their candidate of choice. We should value the opinion of those who have had a working relationship with any candidate.
While at work or on duty employers should certainly have the right to restrict politicking in any way they see necessary. As long as it is fair and equal to all employees and candidates. If restrictions are allowed than ALL our governmental officials should be withheld from the process of endorsing or supporting any candidate.
If as an employee of a city, state or the federal government I am restricted from showing my support for a certain candidate this could also restrict my family from the process and should be viewed so unconstitutional as to be a legal issue.
Who best knows the candidates but for the individuals that has worked with them on a daily basis. If there is major support from the people that have worked with a particular candidate, it should be viewed as a positive. If as an employer / candidate you could not gain the support of your employees we should look at those candidates’ values very carefully.
