Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner

2449 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Representative Sensenbrenner:

Please be advised of NSWBC’s intent to launch its “Whistleblowers’ Dirty Dozen” campaign to focus attention on the failure of certain members of the U.S. House of Representatives to take action in support of Whistleblowers. Your name is on this list due to your failure to support the Maloney-Markey bill: “Paul Revere Freedom to Warn Act”, and your failure to call for meaningful investigations into and hearings on the retaliation and abuse of whistleblowers who report waste, fraud, abuse and illegal activities within U.S. government agencies.

Our members hail from every political stripe, and as you will notice, our “Dirty Dozen” contains names from both Democratic and Republican ranks. We plan to publicize our “Dirty Dozen” list as widely as possible.

This campaign is being launched by NSWBC in cooperation with over 150 Whistleblowers and the active support of other whistleblower organizations. We are preparing to launch the campaign on Thursday, June 29 at 1:00PM, together with a copy of the attached poster, and wished to give you this opportunity to respond prior to our announcement. No representative will be placed on the “Dirty Dozen” list who:

• Publicly pledges support for the Maloney-Markey bill.

• Publicly pledges support for hearings on national security whistleblower issues and cases, with direct testimony from whistleblowers.

• Publicly pledges support for the elimination of the national security exemption to whistleblower protection.

If you believe we have listed you contrary to the evidence, or in error, please contact us.

Respectfully,

National Security Whistleblowers Coalition

Sibel D. Edmonds

Director
