Value Thinking? Dems push to skip work on election day

 Ah, jeez. Figures.  Moveon.org is telling folks to skip work on election day in order to make phone call and get out the vote.

"MoveOn.org also noted that 'there's no legal concern with allowing employees to use personal leave or vacation time to volunteer as long as it's in accordance with normal company policy.' 

But Brian Darling, director of Senate Relations for the conservative Heritage Foundation, called the idea of asking people to take the day off work "odd."

"Conservatives tend to work and then take some time off to go vote. They wouldn't take the day off to go volunteer their efforts," Darling told Cybercast News Service. "I guess it's a different mentality between conservatives and left-wingers."
