We, as a nation, will be paying for generations, for the fear-based self-censorship that this decision calls for. The fear of job loss is likely to have contributed to the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It is part of what keeps bad policies in place, poor quality leaders in their positions, it is why there is the saying “…its good enough for Government work.” It contributes to discrimination of all kinds. How different this world would be if we were all brave enough to speak up to our bosses, coworkers, friends and leaders when we see and hear things that are wrong, offensive or even dangerous.

It’s long overdue, for employees and others alike, to exercise their right to practice “whistleblower” rights!
There is entirely too much happening in these companies, that employees are being made to adhere to, or be threatened to loosing their jobs.
There is also too much immunity given to individuals such as attorney genreals and such, because they sit in these positions.
If presidents can be impeached, MORE need to be done to stop others “authoritarians”!
People are being assaulted in many ways and these people of authority, are allowed to assist others like them, in altering documents and getting away with taxpayers loosing out on what they have a right to “monetarily”
This COVER UP of abuses, MUST STOP!
These individuals must be stopped from not being made to function in a “MINISTERAL FUNCTION”.
It’s GREAT, that we have the Federal Goverment to help us in these matters, for it has gone on, for TOO long!

I am so happy to see this issue addressed. I was a victim of this type of action; reprisal termination after filing a grievance with my employer. This termination has caused me untold finacial hardship.
