What is the blurred line? Public employees have a right to protest and political activity. They can even set up political protests as long as it's not done on work time. You don't lose your political, and constitutional, rights because of employment.

Political activity is limited-

Louisisana Civil Service Rule 14.1


(e) No employee in the classified service and no member of the Commission shall

Participate or engage in political activity.

Be a candidate for nomination or election to public office, except to seek election as the Classified State employee serving on the State Civil Service Commission.

Be a member of any national, state, or local committee of a political party or faction.

Take active part in the management of the affairs of a political party, faction, candidate, or any political campaign, except to exercise his right as a citizen to express his opinion privately, to serve as a commissioner or official watcher at the polls, and to cast his vote as he desires.

Take active part in an effort to recall from office an elected public official, or seek, solicit or attempt to coerce any person including any employee in the classified service and any member of the Commission into participating in any such effort or signing a recall petition except that nothing contained herein shall prevent an employee in the classified service or member of the Commission from signing a recall petition.
