So, just got a job with AmeriCorps... I just got the contract we have to sign to join. Along with the normal behavior regulations, there was the following:

At no time may a member:
-Attempt to influence legislation or an election
-Assist, promote or deter union organizing
-Engage in religious instruction or conduct worship services
-Engage in any form of religious proselytization
-Organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes
-Impair existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements
-Participate in or endorse events or activities that are likely to include advocacy for or against political parties, political candidates, political platforms, or elected officials
-Provide a direct benefit to a for-profit entity, a labor union, a partisan political organization
-Engage in partisan political activities or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to a public office
-Engage in voter registration drive

Yeesh. I understand that they want us to be impartial and everything, but it's not like postal employees have to agree to this. I mean, couldn't just posting here constitute a violation? I know I'm "anonymous," but still. And I guess this means I can't have any bumper stickers until August of 2011.
