That may be the new bumper sticker of choice for an Alabama woman who says she got fired by her pro-Bush boss last Thursday for publicly supporting the Democratic candidate for president. The Decatur Daily reports that Lynne Gobbell, a worker at an Alabama insulation company called Enviromate, says she got axed for refusing to remove a Kerry-Edwards sticker displayed on the rear windshield of her Chevy Lumina. Her boss Phil Geddes, a Decatur bankruptcy attorney and the owner of Enviromate, did not return the Daily’s calls about the alleged firing, according to the report.
“We were going back to work from break,” Gobbell told the Daily, “and my manager told me that Phil said to remove the sticker off my car or I was fired.”
Gobbell said she went to Geddes’ office to confront him. “Phil and another man who works there were there,” she said. “I asked him if he said to remove the sticker and he said, ‘Yes, I did.’ I told him he couldn’t tell me who to vote for. When I told him that, he told me, ‘I own this place.’ I told him he still couldn’t tell me who to vote for.”
“I asked him if I was fired and he told me he was thinking about it,” she said. “I said, Well, am I fired? He hollered and said, Get out of here and shut the door.”
