OSC Charges Two With Sending Politial Advocacy E-mails

An Office of Special Counsel press release describes misuse of e-mail charges against two federal employees, as follows:

One employee, while on duty, at work and using his official title, disseminated an e-mail that requested political contributions for then-Presidential candidate Barack Obama. The other employee, while at work and on duty, distributed an e-mail that encouraged recipients, including employees she managed, not to support then-Presidential candidate Obama.
