She's not carrying a sign, she's driving a bus. The bus has passengers who she may not agree with, it has the name of the transportation authority on it - which she may not agree with, and it has a revolving slew of advertisements on it that help pay for her job.

Get over yourself you righteous bitch and get to work.

So... let's say that bus had a "Yes on 8" ad... how would you feel driving that around all day?

And I'm not saying that to be snarky, I'm actually curious as to how you'd respond to being asked to do that.

I'd do the job I was paid to do and work a bit harder on the No on 8 campaign on my time off.

I worked for the City of Irvine for 10 years. During that time, we had 3 very different mayors that had their own political agendas. As a COI employee, I had to follow their direction and that of the City Manager because it was my job. That included censoring artwork - a practice I am incredibly opposed to on a personal level. But, that was the nature of my job as an employee.

Now, what I did OFF the clock, was my own choice (however, I DID have to be careful about what sort of public political activities I was involved in.)
