Bowsher came from Arthur Andersen and believed in “up or out” for employees who were White, male, and/or non-veteran, but NOT for employees who were minority, female, and/or veteran.

http://www.nprillinois.org/post/idot-staff-assistants-sue-get-jobs-back#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2016, Rauner issued a press release saying his administration had ended a “patronage hiring scandal” at the Illinois Department of Transportation. At issue were hundreds of people who’d gotten so-called staff assistant jobs under former governors Rod Blagojevich and Pat Quinn. These were political hires into jobs that should have been protected from that sort of thing. Attorney Don Craven says the eight workers suing Rauner eventually made their way into non-political jobs, but that didn’t save them. He says their firing was political. “This allegation is that these people were fired by IDOT because they’re Democrats and they refused to become affiliated with the Rauner administration,” Craven says. “That’s precisely what the first amendment says you can’t do — you can’t fire people because of their political affiliation.” The lawsuit is seeking to get the employees reinstated — with seniority, back pay and benefits. Asked for comment, the Rauner administration did not directly address the allegations in the lawsuit. Spokeswoman Patty Schuh says the administration has been “working hand-in-hand with the [Office of the Executive Inspector General’s] hiring monitoring unit and the court-appointed special master to clean up the corrupt political system created by previous governors.”)

— Maine West Principal Haugan paid in $358K to teachers pension fund, could collect $7.1 million in retirement (DIERSEN: In 1966-1997 dollars, I paid $70,932 into the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). So far, in today’s dollars, CSRS has paid me $1,084,822 ($4,322 X 251 months). If I was still working for GAO, CSRS would not have paid me anything, and in today’s dollars, I would have paid $183,497 ($731 X 251 months) into the CSRS. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes?)

https://capitolfax.com/2018/08/06/fired-employees-claim-first-amendment-violations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Defendant Rauner made comments that expressed his political animus to those individuals who supported Democrats or public-sector unions. Some of those comments were directed at some plaintiffs. […] The real reason for the termination of these Plaintiffs was that they were employed by the prior administration (under then Governor Patrick Quinn who was a member of the Democratic Party) or that they refused to become affiliated with the Rauner Administration. * Pretext… Despite the long-standing policy of IDOT to review and update job descriptions of employees, at no time after their reassignments did supervisory personnel, or personnel in the Bureau of Personnel verify the accuracy of Plaintiffs’ job descriptions or update the job descriptions to more accurately reflect the work being assigned to each Plaintiff. Defendants then used the job descriptions, which were intentionally allowed to become outdated as the pretense to terminate the employment of these Plaintiffs.)

My envy-filled critics/opponents are beyond furious that I can afford to spend 10+ hours each and every day and thousands of dollars each and every year to put the emails together and to send them out free each and every morning and each and every evening.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hello. We’ve probably never met, but we think it’s safe to assume you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t walk into a convenience store and take a newspaper without paying for it. Asking for unlimited, free access to our website is the online equivalent of stealing a paper from the store. We can’t stay in business if we give our product away for free. We’ve had a paywall on our site for more than five years, but until recently, if you were coming to an article from social media, our content was free to view. Today, if a reader accesses more than 10 stories in a 30-day period, we will ask them to subscribe to continue reading our work, regardless of which source they use to find our journalism. Many people hit that limit early in the month. The change is long overdue and should have been made years ago. At the Standard-Times, we employ more than 25 people, 11 of them journalists who live in and love San Angelo. This doesn’t include the contract delivery personnel who deliver the print edition each day. These people work hard to bring important news to our audience. This award-winning staff keeps readers updated about events in town, attends countless public meetings and spends nights and weekends bringing you up-to-the-minute sports content. They request public records (and often fight for them) so you know what’s happening in your government. They report on breaking news so you know how you can keep yourself and your family safe. Salaries, newsprint, computers, pens, notebooks, smartphones and other reporting tools aren’t free. We spend thousands of dollars annually on criminal court documents alone. That’s on top of hundreds we spent on arrest documents, open records requests and other measures to hold government agencies accountable to the public.)

— Half of American households are still poorer than they were before the Great Recession – Dan Kopf
https://qz.com/1348882/us-household-wealth-for-the-bottom-50-is-half-of-what-it-was-in-2007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it comes to wealth, the poorest American households are much worse off than they were in 2007. In fact, they are no better, in terms of wealth, than they were in 1971. . .In contrast, the average household in the bottom 50% had about half as much wealth in 2016 as they did in 2007. Poorer households typically invest in homes and other physical assets, and put little to no money in stocks. As a result, they have not participated in the post-recession wealth recovery.)

On July 5, 2003, Cox came with the other four announced U.S. Senate candidates (Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andy McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan) to a picnic that I arranged in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct for voters in my precinct, in Jeanne Ive’s precinct to the east, and in Debra Olson’s precinct to the west.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican candidate for California governor has released his first campaign advertisement since winning the primary election in June. It’s titled “Help is on the Way,” and focuses on the platforms John Cox highlighted throughout his campaign such as unaffordable home and rent costs, the state’s infrastructure, rising poverty rates and the gas tax. The businessman, who lives in San Diego, has an uphill battle to catch Democrat Gavin Newsom. The current lieutenant governor has a commanding lead in the contest to succeed Governor Jerry Brown. According to the latest poll numbers from the Public Policy Institute of California, 55 percent of likely voters favored Newsom to Cox’s 31 percent.)

— If you haven’t had health insurance … – Editorial (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are beyond furious that my wife and I get an $18,000/year health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy because I am a federal retiree. We pay only $6,000/year for $24,000/year worth of coverage. In our defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years — almost 3 for the Post Office 1966-1969, almost 9 for IRS 1971-1980, and almost 18 for GAO. Working for the federal government is extremely unpleasant, stressful, and depressing. Virtually everyone viciously demonizes, viciously denigrates, and viciously condemns federal employees and federal retirees as being lazy, stupid, grossly overpaid, and even worse things. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

EQUIPMENT WORLD
— JULY 23, 2013 FLASHBACK: The corrosive damage ethanol gasoline does to your fuel pump – Tom Jackson (DIERSEN: In my opinion, ethanol did thousands of dollars in damages to my 1972 Chevy Corvette.)
https://www.equipmentworld.com/e-10-alive-the-corrosive-damage-ethanol-gasoline-does-to-your-fuel-pump/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Its a nearly-new fuel pump from a 2003 Harley Davidson with just 11,000 miles on it. How could that much corrosion happen on a motorcycle before it’s third oil change? According to my mechanic it’s ethanol in our gasoline. To understand how this happens you need to know how ethanol affects your fuel system. Ethanol itself is not particularly corrosive. When the oil companies first started blending ethanol in gas, it corroded some rubber and plastic gaskets on some cars and equipment. Manufacturers figured it out and substituted new materials. The unlucky consumers whose equipment was ruined or whose fuel systems had to be replaced just took it on the chin as per usual with most government programs. But that wasn’t the end of it. Ethanol attracts water. When the two get together, they create the perfect environment to grow a type of bacteria called acetobacter. After getting drunk on their EPA-sponsored kegger in your gas tank, the acetobacter excrete acetic acid. And acetic acid is very corrosive. If you’re refilling your gas tank every week or two, acetobacter don’t have time to grow a sufficient size colony to damage metal parts in your fuel system. But if your fuel sits for longer periods of time these microorganisms continue to multiply until your gas tank contains damaging levels of acetic acid.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— ‘Too Little Too Late’: Bankruptcy Booms Among Older Americans – Tara Siegel Bernard (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I am not in bankruptcy or headed for bankruptcy a) because I was born a healthy White male, b) because I have always benefited from my parents’, my grandparents’, and the rest of my ancestors’ discrimination against minorities and against females, c) because I avoided the draft, d) because the federal government grossly overpaid me, e) because I married someone who always had income, and f) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/05/business/bankruptcy-older-americans.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For a rapidly growing share of older Americans, traditional ideas about life in retirement are being upended by a dismal reality: bankruptcy. The signs of potential trouble — vanishing pensions, soaring medical expenses, inadequate savings — have been building for years. Now, new research sheds light on the scope of the problem: The rate of people 65 and older filing for bankruptcy is three times what it was in 1991, the study found, and the same group accounts for a far greater share of all filers. Driving the surge, the study suggests, is a three-decade shift of financial risk from government and employers to individuals, who are bearing an ever greater responsibility for their own financial well-being as the social safety net shrinks. The transfer has come in the form of, among other things, longer waits for full Social Security benefits, the replacement of employer-provided pensions with 401(k) savings plans and more out-of-pocket spending on health care. Declining incomes, whether in retirement or leading up to it, compound the challenge.)

https://www.businessinsider.com/cars-drivers-keep-the-longest-after-buying-them-new-2018-8

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “While the average car buyer gets rid of their car 7.4 years after purchasing it new, there is a wide variety of cars that owners are more likely to keep for longer,” said iSeeCars CEO Phong Ly in a press statement. “Many factors could contribute to a car’s longevity such as its function as shown by the dominance of family vehicles, or because of a fondness of a timeless classic like the Chevrolet Corvette.” The Ford Expedition earned the prize of being the car owners hold onto for the longest period of time, with an average rate of nine years. The other SUVs included in the top-10 ranking are the Toyota Sequoia, the Chevrolet Suburban, the Toyota 4Runner and the Ford Explorer. “These vehicles tend to be family haulers, which means that parents are likely to keep them for longer than average and not replace them until a large family vehicle is no longer necessary,” said Ly in his statement. The only sports car to make the list was the Chevrolet Corvette, which ranked second. The only minivan, the Honda Odyssey, came in ranked tenth.)

I believe there are about 30 in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton and they are well-organized.

They stress that I was a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004, GAO employee 1980-1997, IRS employee 1971-1980, etc. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I am a “public figure,” they can defame, libel, and slander me because I “cannot succeed in a lawsuit on incorrect harmful statements in the United States unless there is proof that the writer or publisher acted with actual malice by knowing the falsity or by reckless disregard for the truth. The legal burden of proof in defamation actions is thus higher in the case of a public figure than in the case of an ordinary person.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_figure Do you agree with my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes that I am a “public figure?”)

The President of the United States had nothing better to do late on a Friday night than grab his phone and call a private citizen “dumb” in a tweet. The leader of the free world did that.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/realestate/elitestreet/ct-re-elite-street-dwayne-wade-matteson-20180724-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A four-bedroom, 2,280-square-foot house in south suburban Matteson that is owned by basketball star Dwyane Wade has been on the market since May for $269,900. A South Side native who starred at Richards High School in Oak Lawn before attending Marquette University, Wade, 36, has played in the NBA for 16 years, most of the time for the Miami Heat. He played a year for the Bulls in 2016-2017. Public records show that Wade bought the house new in 2006 with his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, for $390,000. After the couple’s divorce, Wade was awarded the house in 2014. Now, Wade is trying to sell the house, which is in Matteson’s Newbury Estates neighborhood. The house has three baths, a large foyer with a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors throughout, a family room with a gas fireplace and a wet bar, and a master suite with a private balcony, a large walk-in closet and a tray ceiling overlooking the family room. Wade first listed the house in May for $290,000 and last month cut his asking price to $269,900.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sauer’s immediate successor in the legislature will be selected by a group formed by Lake County Republican Party leader Mark Shaw and Barrington Township Republican committeeman Chris Geissler, representing the small Cook County portion of the 51st District. Shaw doesn’t know if the GOP will nominate the same person to run in November, which is a separate process. Shaw plans to consult Republican House Leader Jim Durkin on the decisions. Republican officials typically would seek applicants, Shaw said. But time is short because ballots must be finalized and certified by Aug. 30.)

— Some Ideas to Think About – Walter E. Williams (DIERSEN: What did you do to avoid poverty? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=51479
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Poverty is no mystery, and it’s easily avoidable. The poverty line that the Census Bureau used in 2016 for a single person was an income of $12,486 that year. For a two-person household, it was $16,072, and for a four-person household, it was $24,755. To beat those poverty thresholds is fairly simple. Here’s the road map: Complete high school; get a job, any kind of a job; get married before having children; and be a law-abiding citizen. How about some numbers? A single person taking a minimum wage job would earn an annual income of $15,080. A married couple would earn $30,160. By the way, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, less than 4 percent of hourly workers in 2016 were paid the minimum wage. That means that over 96 percent of workers earned more than the minimum wage. Not surprising is the fact that among both black and white married couples, the poverty rate is in the single digits. Most poverty is in female-headed households.)

My Democrat GAO superiors wasted the work experience that I had gained a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, b) earning job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, c) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880, e) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and f) serving in the Executive Committee of the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants 1983-1996. Independent organizations recognized the value of my work experience when they approved my applications to be a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, and licensed CPA in 1981.)

— GAO: More Taxpayers Will Owe The IRS In April Due To Under-Withholding – SCOTT NEUMAN (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly. I should write a book about those who have done the most to waste my knowledge of IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,070-$91,880. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $96,403-$102,830.)
https://www.npr.org/2018/08/01/634474267/more-taxpayers-will-owe-the-irs-in-april-due-to-under-withholding-report-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Based on simulations run by the Treasury Department, the GAO says taxes for 30 million Americans — 21 percent of taxpayers — are being under-withheld by their employers, meaning they are getting a larger check this year, but will owe at tax time in April. . .Who should be concerned? According to the GAO, a hypothetical taxpayer who is married with two children, earning $180,000 annually, $20,000 of which comes from non-wage income and who itemizes deductions.)

ROBERT FEDER
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Critics/opponents of Charles Thomas hint/imply that he suddenly quit Maze Jackson’s morning show on WVON 1690-AM because Politico Illinois Playbook reported on connections between Jackson and a political consultant working for the reelection campaign of Governor Bruce Rauner.
https://www.robertfeder.com/2018/07/31/charles-thomas-quits-wvon-morning-show-im-getting-life-back/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thomas, who joined WVON in April 2017 after he retired as political reporter from ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7, cited the difficult hours of morning drive for suddenly walking away from the 6 to 9 a.m. weekday gig. He would not comment on the Politico story or say whether it figured into his decision to leave. “I’m getting my life back,” he told me Monday. “When I retired [from ABC 7], I did not envision getting up at 3 o’clock in the morning every day and then having to go to bed every night at 7 or 8 o’clock. So it’s a good thing for me.”)

Beyond hypocritically, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/retired-kane-county-water-district-employee-has-banked-3-5m-in-pension-payments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pagorski’s current annual pension benefit is nearly $211,000, despite having only contributed $93,900 to his retirement during his 40 years of work, according to documents from the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, or IMRF. His is not the only expensive government worker retirement straining Kane County taxpayers. As many as 38 other local government pensioners in Kane County enrolled in IMRF are receiving six-figure annual payouts. One of those pensioners, Gregory Hergenroeder, was also a 40-year FRWRD worker and has already accumulated $2.1 million in just 12 years of retirement.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/us/politics/facebook-political-campaign-midterms.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook said on Tuesday that it had identified a political influence campaign that was potentially built to disrupt the midterm elections, with the company detecting and removing 32 pages and fake accounts that had engaged in activity around divisive social issues. The company did not definitively link the campaign to Russia. But Facebook officials said some of the tools and techniques used by the accounts were similar to those used by the Internet Research Agency, the Kremlin-linked group that was at the center of an indictment this year alleging interference in the 2016 presidential election.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Is metro Chicago gaining or losing jobs? Yes. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the less likely that Chicago employers will hire you, retain you, or promote you: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had an unfair advantage in life because I graduated from Crete-Monee High School in 1966. One could ask my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes what percent of my classmates a) earned a bachelor’s degree, b) earned a master’s degree, c) earned a professional certification, and d) earned a professional license.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20180727/ISSUE05/180729916
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Metropolitan Planning Council ruffled some fur recently when it concluded in a report on census data that African-Americans are only partially sharing in downtown Chicago’s job boom. The council is right. Though one can argue that the glass is half full rather than half empty, fact is that in a time when overall downtown jobs grew 10 percent, the number held by blacks was up 2 percent. That’s certainly better than the 7.5 percent drop in Chicago’s black population in the same period, but not good enough. One obvious solution to that is better education. If young adults who now are trapped in declining neighborhoods get the right schooling and can tap into the right networks, they ought to be able to get more of these jobs. This is what was discouraging about another report that landed in my inbox a few days ago, concluding that Chicago public schools that are heavily black and Latino aren’t offering the same rich selection of college-prep courses as schools with more white students.)

https://foxillinois.com/news/local/illinois-democrats-call-for-reauthorization-of-violence-against-women-act
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a release, Michael J. Madigan, chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois, pointed the finger at President Trump. “With Donald Trump in the White House, women are constantly targeted as part of his agenda. As we saw with his recent Supreme Court nominee, women’s rights will remain under threat for years to come, making legislation like the Violence Against Women Act even more important.”)

Republicans were down on Roskam a few months ago, so this might be a sign that Roskam’s political standing is improving. CLF is making additional reservations throughout the week. – Shia Kapos

The longer that you work for government, the lower the opinion that private sector employers have of you. I was a government employee for almost 30 years. I should write a book about private sector employers in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, and in Wheaton who have made it very clear that they have an extremely low opinion of me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Gov. Rauner dropped 10 percentage points in the first three months of 2018, and now holds the third worst approval ranking. Morning Consult notes that three in five Illinois voters disapprove of Rauner’s job performance as he attempts to hold off Democratic candidate J.B.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— On retirement question, Justice Ginsburg has go-to answers (DIERSEN: I would have first been eligible for regular retirement in 2003 when I would have been 55 years old.)
https://apnews.com/eccb7230dc9245f79cda9cafed4ee080/On-retirement-question,-Justice-Ginsburg-has-go-to-answers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For more than a decade, audiences and interviewers have had one pressing question for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: When will you retire? The question used to be whether the now 85-year-old liberal justice would let President Barack Obama choose her successor. Now it’s whether President Donald Trump might, giving conservatives an even stronger hold on the court. Ginsburg, the court’s oldest current member, has used a variety of practiced answers to the retirement question over the years. They all boil down to the same thing: She isn’t ready to go. On Sunday, Ginsburg reminded a New York audience that her former colleague Justice John Paul Stevens was 90 when he retired in 2010. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years,” Ginsburg said, according to a CNN report.)

WASHINGTON POST
— White, and in the minority She speaks English. Her co-workers don’t. Inside a rural chicken plant, whites struggle to fit in. – Terrence McCoy (DIERSEN: How fast is your precinct, your municipality, your township/ward, and your county becoming anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2018/07/30/feature/majority-minority-white-workers-at-this-pennsylvania-chicken-plant-now-struggle-to-fit-in/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a country where whites will lose majority status in about a quarter-century, and where research suggests that demographic anxiety is contributing to many of the social fissures polarizing the United States, from immigration policy to welfare reform to the election of President Trump, the story of the coming decades will be, to some degree, the story of how white people adapt to a changing country. It will be the story of people like Heaven Engle and Venson Heim, both of whom were beginning careers on the bottom rung of an industry remade by Latinos, whose population growth is fueling that of America, and were now, in unusually intense circumstances, coming to understand what it means to be outnumbered. They didn’t know the heavy burden of discrimination familiar to members of historically oppressed minority groups, including biased policing and unequal access to jobs and housing. But some of the everyday experiences that have long challenged millions of black, Latino and immigrant Americans — the struggle to understand and be understood, feeling unseen, fear of rapid judgments — were beginning to challenge them, too.)

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If a federal government employee is fired and/or discriminated against because of their political beliefs, the action would arguably be in contradiction to the United States Constitution, particularly due to the fact that it would potentially violate free speech rights as well as the right to due process. Discrimination that is based on an employee’s political beliefs occurs when an employer makes job decisions regarding that employee because of their political beliefs, civic activities, or party affiliation. For instance, if an employer demotes anyone who refuses to vote for a certain political party or does not hire someone as a result of their stance on a particular issue, then that employer is likely engaged in political discrimination. While there are no specific laws that prohibit discrimination based on political views, federal government employees have constitutional protections that prohibit the abuse of government power. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, and thus, it can protect an employee’s political views, but it is important to note that this protection is for government employees rather than those that work for private employers. Even if there is not a valid reason to raise a free speech argument, it is possible that political discrimination may be illegal on other grounds. For example, depending on the facts and circumstances of your case, the political discrimination might be considered illegal religious or race-based discrimination. An experienced and knowledgeable Federal Employment Law Attorney can review your case and determine whether you have a viable discrimination claim.)
