Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of
information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing
government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out.
Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often
save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to
empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in
performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal
workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama
will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing
whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due
process.
