Did Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen force his employees to make political contributions to Democratic candidates?

That’s the allegation from Cause of Action, a conservative non-profit group which has filed a complaint against Dish and Ergen with the Federal Election Commission.

The Washington Times reports that Cause of Action charges that Ergen threatened to fire employees if they didn’t contribute to certain Democratic candidates.
