Whistleblowers Need Protection

Are you a whistleblower that needs help? Do you know of wrongdoing and want to report anonymously? Need someone to talk to about the retaliation?

The Whistleblower Protection and No Fear Acts. You be the judge at the US Court of Appeals!

The following is an excerpt from the whistleblower case of Evelynn Brown Remple v. The Department of Health and Human Services, case #2010-3067, currently being reviewed at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  The quote was included in the brief filed by the Department of Justice on May 24, 2010.  

"Last month, when I presented David, Bill and Curtis the report I confidentially gave you (Karen Morison) yesterday, I warned of the potential for EBR positioning herself to claim whistleblower status...The powerful protections offered such individuals makes caution of extreme importance on the part of management, Curtis Coy himself prominently disseminates training every year on the No Fear/Whistlelbower Protectin Act and every ACF employee or manager is required to take the lonline lesson. You should know that all three managers received my written report with great concern and gave what I thought was the attention it deserved."

The email was written by Stan Chappell in August 2007, from his personal email account, stanchappell@verizon.net to David Siegel, Bill Clair and Curtis Porter, all HHS management.  Karen Morison was their supervisor.
