Last time I checked politicians were US citizens, hence the Bill of Rights applies to them as well..
They have the same civil liberties as any one of us...
I don't know who the fuck the government thinks they are telling individuals they cant write "Merry Christmas."
Quite frankly that defies the First Amendment not once but twice. Not only does it violate freedom of speech - it violates freedom of religion to boot..
Spoken like someone who didn't read the article.
Paulitician is lying to you when he says this is a ban. It isn't. Every member of Congress is perfectly free to send out any card at the holidays and the cards can say anything on them. The only thing is, if the cards send a specific wish for a specific holiday, they won't be reimbursed for postage with tax payer money.
In other words, this cuts spending and saves tax payer money and Paulitician is against it. Go figure.
I take this to mean you would support a ban on federal employees getting a paid day off for Christmas.. Yes?
