Press Conference Today - re: whistleblower protections Bill

By Brian F. LaBovick

I am thankful for the valiant fight of Congressman, Bruce Braley, (D) Iowa First District, and other members of congress regarding whistleblower protections for workers. 

We had the distinct pleasure of speaking with the Congressman regarding this important piece of legislation, that is being proposed today for a stand alone bill.  One of the major reasons this is so important now according to Congressman Braley is that  "There is  a massive amount of money being spent in the current economic recovery bill. We must protect against wasteful and fraudulent use of taxpayers hard earned dollars". 

We could not agree more, that protecting the whistleblowers with whistleblower protections, is a necessary step to ensure that the government's dollars are being used appropriately, regardless of where it came from, stimulus bill or just regular government spending.

Stay tuned for more information on this proposed whistleblower legislation. We look forward to hearing more from Congressman Braley on the stand alone whistleblower bill.

Check out CSPAN or CNN for the press conference today at 12:15pm  in the Radio TV Gallery of the House in room H321.

We are rooting for your success Congressman Braley. We ask our loyal readers to contact their local congressional person to show support.
