Can my boss fire me for supporting Obama?
I work for a small business (~30 of us), and my boss told all of us that if and when (hopefully) Obama wins, he will be forced to let some of us go. He has this crazy notion that his taxes are going to go up if Obama wins.
He told us, that to be fair, he would be letting those who supported Obama go first. Now, I never told him I who I was voting for, but I do wear an Obama shirt quite often and I do have an Obama 08 bumper sticker on my car...do you think I will get the axe?
I really can't get fired! I just spent $1500 on a hydroponics set up and a brand new snowboard...I will be hosed. :(
[additional details -- added to first post]
Ok, assuming I do get fired, will it be easy to take him to court and prove it was because I supported Obama? Will the courts supply me with a free lawyer, or do I have to call them up myself and ask them to do it for free?
I don't exactly have the most marvelous track record at the office (been late a few times, printed out some articles from a political/adult magazine on the work computer, and put a fire extinguisher in the baler) ....so he may just be using this as an excuse to oppress mefurther for simply just wanting to exercise my vote.
I keep hearing about this bail out thing Obama passed to help people pay their credit cards and rent for their houses...Is there a form I have to fill out to get my money? How do I go about doing this?
I'm really struggling :(
[I can see him now... still hoping for change.]

its legal for him to fire you for your political support. Especially if it directly effects his business.
