More prevalent lately, there is news about big companies urging their employees to vote in the 2012 presidential election and for some, nudging those employees to vote for the GOP ticket. Executives at Westgate Resorts, ASG Software Solutions, and a handful of other businesses have warned that an Obama vote could potentially lead to layoffs. Romney himself, as In These Times reported, told business owners during a June conference call to "make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job."
