this will be a long post, but i think it is worth reading as i can't believe it is happening right now here today.
a good friend of mine was recently recruited by our state for a job. he is a mechanic, i/e this is not a national security issue or anything.
anyway, when originally contacted for the job he was told he must be registered as a Democrat if he was gonna be chosen. his answer was oh well, i guess i don't want this job. but as it turned out when the primaries came to ohio the republican ticket was a done deal, so we both were one of the 16000 ohioans that jumped ship and voted against someone on the democratic ticket.
shortly after that he gets called for the interviewing process and they told him we didn't think you'd register democratic, so we wrote you off.
anyway, he got hired as a temp, when he was working out very well and he was being screened as a permanent employee he was asked to give up his ccw card. he would not. eventually they overlooked that, but when he went to his "indoctrination class" he was one of ten "Democrats" in the class, but the first 9 all got there state i.d. and went home. he was then called in and grilled extensively as to what and why he had attempted to buy 3 firearms in the last year(3 background checks). he told them it was none of there business and he was told he was being rejected as a permanent employee. after a few phone calls between the hiring office in columbus (who was handling the i.d.) and his branch office the issue eventually got put to rest and he was hired.
unfortunately it would be near impossible to document this for legal purposes because it was all done verbally only, but i just thought i'd share this w/ the rest of the world as i was not fully aware of just how one sided our own government types had gotten and how many of our rights were being trampled everyday. comments welcome, thanx.
