Let us not forget that Texas is a Right to Work State. That means that an employer may discontinue your employment for any or no reason. You as the employee are allowed to discontinue your association with your employer for any or no reason.

While this law lifts a crimminal charge from being levelled on us, it still does not prevent our dismissal from the company.

With that understanding, one could go insane thinking of reasons why their employer would fire them. Maybe you are too fat, skinny, white, black, bald, sick, lame, or lazy. My point is this. If you are fired because somehow your employer finds out that you exercize your Second Ammendment to the U.S. Constitution, do you really want to continue being associated with that type of business or people?

I constantly write letters to the editor in the town where I live and work. I do have my cheering section where I work, worship in church, Masonic Lodge, Boy Scout Troop and so on. One day, however, I might offend someone with my comments in the paper, and I may be fired for exercizing my First Ammendment Rights to the U.S. Constitution. It happens everyday across America, and I am not in the least bit upset about it.

The United States is a wonderful place, as long as you realize that we are all equal and are allowed to associate with whomever and whenever we want. Employment is an association of sorts. My employer possesses every right to resent me for whatever reason he she it or they wish to. I think that we as CHL folks should keep the above observations in mind when we talk about "our rights."
