Apparently an LDS employee of his had made a donation to Prop 8. Donors are apparently required to identify their employers, perhaps to guard against employers coercing employees to donate on behalf of a cause. The letter said the following:

I am appalled that a representative of your company (ref below) has
donated a large sum of money to the hateful, discriminatory, marriage
denigrating Yes on Proposition 8 campaign in California. Unless your
company issues a public statement of disassociation with the views of this
individual and speaks out against the passage of Proposition 8, I will not
consider your company for future needs and will recommend to my friends,
family, and associates that they do not do business with your company.

Our friend said he told the employee not to sweat it, that his employees could donate to whatever they wanted, but he was still a bit bugged by the letter. Apparently these are being sent to a lot of employers.

it's the letter from the 1st Presidency that is in appropriate! Didn't you know that?

Time to choose.
