House Members Call For Whistleblower Protection
Yesterday, a bipartisan group of House members sent a letter to the President asking him to support whistleblower protection for federal employees. The Representatives noted that whistleblowers have protected the economy, security, and constitutional liberty of all Americans. They called on President Obama to support congressional efforts for stronger whistleblower protection, and asked the President to issue an Executive Order to restore the careers of federal employees who were removed from their jobs in retaliation for blowing the whistle.
This letter is another indication that support for whistleblower protection is growing. We are on the road to victory for federal whistleblower protection! Please click here to sign the NWC petition.

I would like to see protection for whistleblowers with in the public and private sectors also who recieve federal funds. I clearly recall a case of a medical resident who reported internally that he was asked to falsify medical records after a delivery and his life was destroyed. He stated that medical residents are the "pulse" of a hospital and they see everything. This is the most important time to promote and protect honesty/integrity.
