Ed, I just wanted to comment about the post office employees who complained they were told they cannot wear campaign buttons or T-shirts to work. The government has the right to forbid them under the federal Hatch Act, which was passed in 1939 and specifically forbids any type of election apparel or buttons being worn in the workplace by federal employees. It also extends to state employees who have any part of their salaries paid by the federal government.

Un Buttoned

So there.—Ed. Note
