I suspect someone familiar with HR policy and employment law would indicate this is wholly out of bounds. In my former life as an exec we could suggest, ask , request and even offer "suggested language" in causes that were of significance to the company, but requirement of copying your supervisor sounds very dangerous from a corporate standpoint. I think they are at risk, but it may not be something an employee would risk losing their job over. I personally would ignore the request if I objected to it. If I was called on the carpet , I'd simply state my reason for ignoring case. If you got fired I'll bet there are lots of lawyers that would take you on a wrongful termination suit.

Not a prayer!! That will get them sued in a class action by all those in their employ that support the other side. VERY EXPENSIVE and the lawyers get most of the money. The Supervisor would likely be the one terminated and rightfully so. Many large companies have Political Action Committees that they encourage employees to participate in. They do however have to be pretty careful about supporting specific candidates. Easy to create a hostile work place. Hostile work place situations are not innocent til proven guilty scenarios. It is just the opposite. I'd say this whole thread scenario approaches that situation.
