Grassroots Petition Signed by 120 Organizations Urges Congress to Adopt Whistleblower Protection Act

H.R. 3281 is scheduled for a long-awaited mark-up by the House Government Reform Committee on Wednesday, September 29th. S. 2628 is awaiting floor action by the Senate. The bills restore the original congressional mandate from1989 when it unanimously passed. It was unanimously strengthened in 1994, and hailed as the strongest free speech law in history on paper. But a decades worth of decisions by an obsessively hostile, activist court with a monopoly on judicial review have turned it into a cruel trap creating far more victims than are helped.
