The Coke Brothers have once again become a target for the left.
Coke industries sent a letter to the F 45000 employees saying they were encouraging employees to vote for pro business candidates.
Joining us now is Nancy -- now spokesperson full -- -- -- they're gonna quote from the -- for -- it says I'm quoting directly.
We believe any decision about which candidates to support is as always yours and -- as a loan based on the factors that are most important to you.
You're saying it.
-- -- to you Nancy.
And a smile on my face the Coke Brothers are telling their employees get out that a vote for Romney right.
It's it's just ridiculous and -- we've gone past the sublime to the ridiculous.
I was saying I would I would say that I was shocked at the select -- that he there announces of this letter.
But I simply am not -- at it that spend one thing after another obviously this election cycle.
We're very proud of our employees.
-- we posted this on our website -- -- on October for earth.
And act completely transparent manner he needs trust -- to make their right decision yeah if.
He and the right decision -- vote for Mitt Romney I mean I couldn't read these things and -- newness and they come on you know what.
About the reluctant.
The Walt what it -- certainly says is that -- pack that is not a employees supported.
Political action committee has supported Mitt Romney.
And we also say that there -- serious challenges facing this country which arguably is the case and that there are two different individuals in different perspectives and how to move forward.
But we trust our employees to make the right decision and we put it very clearly and underscore it.
-- event that we are not telling them what to do we trust them to wait what's important to -- and to make the right call.
Look I think any employer should be allowed to say this kind of thing to any employee I don't see why you should steer clear of the election complete -- but you know Nancy you long gonna get demonized -- -- I'm sure not watch that that showed newsroom.
Which name is that the Coke Brothers and says they funded the wicked Tea Party gonna -- -- you know this.
And I couldn't make myself watch it more than once I thought it was just very poorly plot and -- and an inaccurate.
But I know this doesn't surprise us in fact it's it's fairly typical you get out left leaning.
You know web seeing -- -- and basically.
-- hit a critically and in accurately describe the latter.
And and it goes on MSNBC and then it -- on Huffington Protestant and it goes on the Atlantic Atlanta journal constitution and finally get it again misrepresent.
On the view yesterday said this is that it if this where.
If -- college and pro ball whereas predictable -- have a lot more money in my pot I think.
It's at NASA I suspect you like this not -- so much as the the two -- province that well they're not intimidated by that and I mean hey look I'm not into it I think I thought they might.
And have them I think they do.
-- well look I think -- there -- -- clearly not intimidated and not not about to step down but it.
It's hard to like -- as well -- like when death threats or should against your family or when people are threatening to fire bomb their facilities that your employees.
Our risk in -- may be in fact at risk so that that's not very pleasant but they certainly are are going to have make their case for the best policies but his country.
Point taken Nancy.

Is what we have -- it.
