On RT.com: War on Whistleblowers
The House Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises passed a bill that severely weakens protection for corporate whistleblowers. The bill requires the whistleblower to confront the company in question first before going to a regulatory agency. Then the agency would notify the entity being accused of wrong-doing before any enforcement action is taken. Also it would legalize retaliation by the company against the whistle blowing employee. I joined RT.com to take a closer look at the rights of whistleblowers and how they’ve changed through the years.

1Mr. van Buren,
I am appalled at our Congress. Pretty much nothing else to be said about them.
Regarding the interview itself, I am glad to see that you have been getting airtime and that you seem so comfortable in the setting. The interviewer in this case (sorry, I didn’t catch her name) is asking very good questions; too bad one cannot see such interviews on MSNBC or CNN.
Best,
Teri S.
