For example, in 2008 election, I was working for a company that depended on Keystone project. After Obama rejected Keystone, my company started massive lay offs. My question is shouldn't those people who had Obama 2008 bumper stickers be let go first?
Sure. Your job depends on the survival and prosperity of the business. If you actively campaign against the best interests of the company and work to destroy the prosperity of the owners and stockholder, they absolutely should have the right to fire you. It's little different than sabotaging equipment.
So if a woman get pregnant she could be fired? Or how about if the manager just doesn't like you or the manager hits on you and you refuse? Should those be grounds for termination?
Why are you all so bent on taking away a person's right to vote their conscience?
The goals and needs of a company are not always in sync with those of it's employees. No matter what Mitt and the 2012 SCOTUS think A COMPANY IS NOT A PERSON and should have no rights.

Why are you against the right of two parties to negotiate an agreement without the violent interference of a third party?
Anyway:

No, not at all, and it should be law against doing so.
All this would do is make it a practice that the party in power, could extend special benefits to companies in turn for leveraging their work force in order to vote to keep the party in power.
This just causes the government to use companies as the venue for establishing some autocratic form of government, whereas the government in itself cannot do things because of the Constitution, but uses companies as the vehicle for doing things.
I can see it now, the government extending wondering contracts to large corporations, in which they can use the funds to research their workforce to see who is advocating for what, and put out that if anyone votes for anyone other than who the company wants, they will be terminated. Walmart alone has 1.5 million employees in the US, and enough employees in many towns to sway elections in those towns.
Just imagine all the large corporations, Lockheed, Boeing, Saks, Walmart, etc, all deciding that they will order their employees to vote, and who to vote for, all under the threat of termination. They do this because the ruling political party has extended great contractual benefits to them. This is not the world I would ever want to live in.

Conscience??? LMAO.
Shouldn't people with any conscience NOT be working for an employer who holds different political views from them?

So it should be legal for a government body to discriminate against a wholly owned by African-Americans corporation?
Corporate personhood has a long history predating 2012.
