Hey! No fair editing while I'm responding! It confuses me when I hit the quote button and don't see anything, so I hit back to verify the text I think should be there, then hit quote again and still don't see it!

That's a good point. If the company doesn't allow any other poltiical slogans either, I'd be more inclined to say their actions were fair, if a bit silly. I can't find any clarification on that, or much off anythgi nelse, though. The details are sort of murky. It seems that, according to a couple of sources, Mr. Padilla had a similar slogan on his vehicle, was asked to remove it, did so, and then promptly replaced it with the one he was eventually fired over. I suspect the 'now I'm in compliance, now I'm not' act is part of the justification for the supposed insubordination that led to his firing.
