I don't think I would care if they were just explaining a bill that might effect everyone directly. What bothers me is;

"We need EVERYONE (yes, everyone) to e-mail your Utah state representative AND senator IMMEDIATELY and voice your strong opposition to House Bill 429. We prefer that you use your personal e-mail address. (Blind carbon copy, BCC, your manager when you do this.)"

and this;

"Use these talking points when e-mailing your representative:"

Holy hell not only are they telling their employees to take an active stand on a bill they are telling them HOW to take a stand! Then they have to report to their manager when they've done it...are they kidding? Why for fuck sake are they asking everyone to report to their manager? To decide who gets to keep their job? And how slimy is it to ask employees to use their own personal email address so it doesn't look like the company put them up to it? The whole thing in my opinion is so far over the line its gone back around and crossed it again. I agree with Shauk I'd hit reply all and tell them all to get fucked.

Reading stuff like this makes me so happy that I'm self employed and don't have to deal with this bull shit.
