Rekna, I understand why you edited out the information that you did, but what that did is remove the context for the request (or demand). For example, if you work for Philip Morris and the state legislature was going to outlaw smoking, I could understand the boss wanting people whose jobs are on the line to personalize the issue for the legislators. I might not like it but I udnerstand it.
I suspect that what you are encountering is different, simply the boss wanting to use his/her employees to amplify his own voice in support of his/her political preferences. It sucks. I can't imagine it's illegal (though I could be wrong; I'm not knowledgeable in this field), but it certainly stinks. How you deal with is going to depend on how much you care about the issue, waht your alternatives are, and how you feel about your job apart from this. Personally, I think any boss who does this other than to protect his/her business is a jerk and deserves to have his/her employees leave.
