Reply #81: Couldn't the opposition counter...

...with an ad in a local paper? I mean seriously...

You could inform McDonald's employees of their rights as voters, and you'd
also be shining a light on a slimy right-wing tactic.

How beneficial, so close to an election--to hightlight the notion that
Republicans only care about Wall Street and will screw over Main Street
in a heartbeat.

It's obvious to everyone that McDonald's (Republican owner) was blatantly
taking advantage of and intimidating people who are vulnerable. The fact
that this owner was LYING to them--and promising them more money if they
vote Republican--is so over the top.

Anyone reading an ad about this would know that the owner was using those
employees as little drones; trying to get them to vote in ways that would
increase his profits and ultimately hurt them in the long run.

This really is beautiful from a PR standpoint. You can make dozens of ads
that "say" Republicans are for Wall Street and Dems are for Main Street.
But here you have a real-life example that "shows". All you have to do is
tell the story about what this McDonald's owner did.

It could galvanize Dems in that area.

The solution isn't boycotting McDonald's. It's using this man's words to
gain Democratic votes.
