This is so brilliant. And right on target. I sincerely hope the 8% out there that is still undecided will do some hard thinking over the weekend. What I don’t understand most about this is why not canvas and call over the weekend? Or before and after work? Who is going to answer the door if everyone else is at work and school? Next, Obama will be telling people to stay home just to answer the phone. This is too much. How desperate are they? Only a 4-5 point spread in the polls!

TO: All Employees, Office and Shop:

FROM: Your Employer and Co-Worker

It has been requested by a number of you that you be allowed to take a vacation day, sick day or personal day so as to volunteer for service to a presidential campaign on Tuesday, November 4^th. I am willing to allow it if you notify me by 3:00pm Friday, October 31. Because I believe in freedom and service, I will not deduct from anyone’s sick, vacation or personal days, if you can provide on letterhead a letter from a Presidential campaign verifying that you put in at least 7 hours of service on November 4^th, the same number of hours you would have worked if you were here. Please submit letters to payroll by November 10^th.

However, please keep in mind that this company, which employs you, provides education reimbursements and pays for all health insurance premiums for all of you and your families stands to see a significant increase in its tax rates, should a certain candidate win the presidential election. If this should happen, please be aware that two of you will lose your jobs, as I will be forced to hire my three children to replace you, so as to continue to be able to afford to save for and send them to college.

This may seem unfair but I have spent over twenty years building and expanding this business and I have all my personal “œwealth” tied up in it. If the business does well, I do well and you do well. If the business fails, I’m left with nothing and you have no job. You have all been admirable and hardworking employees and it will be sad to see two of you go, especially since not one of you has been here less that 6 years. But family is family. I did not work this hard only to see my kids struggle as I did. I know you feel the same way about yours. It will be a difficult decision but should be made easier based on the name at the top of the letterhead you submit for proof of volunteer service.

Thanks from GOPMOM go to a friend for sending this in.
