In one example, Mike White, CEO of Rite-Hite, even warned his employees that they might suffer "personal consequences" if they vote for Obama.

He's not the only one. In the past few weeks, many CEOs have come out in support of Romney and have informed their employees that another Obama term could put their wages and jobs in jeopardy.
