Endorsements

The whole idea of public employees giving endorsements to candidates for public office have always bothered me. But <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/16/build/state/30-patrol-courtraces.inc" target="_blank">this one</a> really bothers me. I realize as citizens they have opinions but what right do they have to endorse people. The only thing that this causes for me is to be suspicious of who public employees endorse and maybe not vote for them so in a way it might be backfiring.<br />n<br />n<b>Never give advice unless asked.
