Mon Jan 22, 2018, 10:18 AMStar Member Ninga (5,690 posts)White House voice mail Hatch Act violation?The paragraph is from the Hatch Act, please read the first line to see if you agree the voice mail violates it. "Partisan political activities are those activities directed at the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group. While most Federal employees are permitted to take an active part in partisan political management and partisan political campaigns, the Hatch Act does prohibit certain participation by all Federal employees. Federal employees may not seek public office in partisan elections, use their official title or authority when engaging in political activity, solicit or receive contributions for partisan political candidates or groups, and engage in political activity while on duty."
