WHISTLE HERE WHISTLE THERE, EVERYWHERE A WHISTLEBLOWER

Over the last month, I have been shocked by the number of whistleblowers coming forward to say they reported violations of law, including safety (BP-Deep Water Horizon Spill), environmental (EPA to withdraw its censorship orders), financial industry (Dodd Frank legislation) and numerous other serious issues are seeing the light of day thanks to the fine work of the Government Accountability Project.  http://www.whistleblower.org/about

Further, the public is invited to comment on the new SEC whistleblower protections at http://sec.gov/

Lastly, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) the federal agency chartered with the duty of protecting whistleblowers, including federal employees is negligently failing to require 5 U.S.C. 2302(c) compliance by federal agencies.  http://osc.gov/outreach.htm
