The following members of Congress, by their action or inaction, have
stood against real investigations, hearings, and legislation dealing
with government whistleblowers who have exposed fraud, waste, abuse,
and/or criminal activities within government agencies. These
representatives of the People are not only standing against
whistleblowers, but against the public’s right to know, effective
oversight, accountability, and ultimately against the democratic
processes that underpin our society (To see the list click

We, the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, together with
whistleblower members of our partner coalitions, consider it our duty
to advise Americans of these representatives’ collusion with
government and private interests to the detriment of the People. Our
position is based on our concern for our nation’s security, for
accountable government, and the People’s Right to Know what their
representatives and government are doing in their name, all of which
depend on vigorous congressional oversight. Our stand is not based on
any political ideology or party – our coalition members include
Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and Independents. We do not ask
you to vote for or against these individuals; nor do we ask you to
choose a particular candidate over another. All we ask is that before
you decide, you consider the true positions of these representatives
with regard to their lack of candor or courage on core issues that
matter to our country’s well-being. Over the years, time and again we
have informed these representatives about illegal government actions,
agency fraud, and lying to Congress by administrators and bureaucrats.
Yet these representatives have consistently refused to take any
action and have instead betrayed the People they have taken an oath to
serve. We hope that by appealing directly to the American people, we
can help bring about needed reforms, since we have proven unsuccessful
in our appeals to the following representatives: the Whistleblowers’
Dirty Dozen (click

About National Security Whistleblowers Coalition
National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC), founded in
August 2004, is an independent and nonpartisan alliance of
whistleblowers who have come forward to address our nation’s security
weaknesses; to inform authorities of security vulnerabilities in our
intelligence agencies, at nuclear power plants and weapon facilities,
in airports, and at our nation’s borders and ports; to uncover
government waste, fraud, abuse, and in some cases criminal conduct.
The NSWBC is dedicated to aiding national security whistleblowers
through a variety of methods, including advocacy of governmental and
legal reform, educating the public concerning whistleblowing activity,
provision of comfort and fellowship to national security
whistleblowers suffering retaliation and other harms, and working with
other public interest organizations to affect goals defined in the
NSWBC mission statement. For more on NSWBC visit www.nswbc.org
