I think you confuse the subject of the slide show

I don't how it is appropriate to show a slide show like that to a government employee. The White House employees are not allowed to campaign. They have to resign to run or work on campaigns - legally. Seamus Edited by Seamus March 28, 2007, 06:50:50 PM EDT Expand All History

The slide show is fine, the activity of the head of the gsa a non political operative is not. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 51 years. meep reach me at [link\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net]

If it was an inducement to campaign then it probably was a policial meeting and according to Hatch Act: These federal employees may not- * be candidates for public office in partisan elections * campaign for or against a candidate or slate of candidates in partisan elections * make campaign speeches * collect contributions or sell tickets to political fund raising functions * distribute campaign material in partisan elections * organize or manage political rallies or meetings ... It seems to me violation of the spirit of the Hatch Act if not the letter . Seamus

However the GSA head who asked for help in acheiving those goals broke the letter and should pay. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 51 years. meep reach me at [link\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net]
