[ale] VOTING ALERT: Protect Your Freedom to Work!

[Mark Wright]

Hi All,

I am used to Aaron's ranting.

I'm am writing for two reasons.  1.  Aaron you did not give one  
reason to vote against the amendment.  You said it was bad and that  
it was a plot of evil republicans that we all know hate us all and  
want to kill our babies but why is this a bad amendment?

2.  I think it may be a good thing.  This amendment fixes a problem  
that the government has encountered doing business.   It may sound  
like they just want the power to over pay companies owned by  
relatives but that really is pretty hard to get away with unless you  
are the mayor.  What they want is the freedom to continue to do  
business with companies that are giving us good service. This  
amendment will allow the government to do business with companies  
that have non compete clauses in their contracts.
"Businesses desire non compete clauses in contracts to guarantee that  
former employees, and business associates with specialized knowledge  
of trade secrets are not able to leave and create their own companies  
using their intellectual property.  This proposal gives a judge the  
unilateral ability to “blue-pencil” or limit the duration, geographic  
area and scope of prohibited activities provided in a contract or  
agreement restricting or regulating competitive activities."
It does not limit other oversight.
