We Won't Stand for Voter Intimidation

Philadelphia, PA, United States
Created November 1, 2010

The Issue

Recently, the franchise owner of a McDonald's sent his employees a letter with their paycheck stating that, "if the right people are elected we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above our present levels. If others are elected, we will not." It goes on to name 3 republican candidates the owner endorses. 

This is clearly meant to intimidate these workers into voting a certain way, and that is unacceptable. It also seems to violate Ohio's election laws.

Please send Ohio's Attorney General a letter asking him to investigate this very serious case and prosecute the man responsible.
