Bogus Whistleblower Bill

In the next few days you'll be reading or hearing about a 'Fantastic Whistleblower Bill' sponsored by Senator Collins (Senate Homeland Security Committee). The senate & some organizations will represent this bill as a solution to whistleblowers. That is not True. Here is why:

1- Intelligence & Law enforcement agencies are all exempt from this bill. Meaning: the so-called protection does Not apply to us.

2- They sneaked in this paragraph to legalize/legitimize retaliation against any government employee who goes to congress (Please see the link below for more information).

3- The bill does not address the broken system: OSC, IG, MSPB...

4- The bill does not address secrecy, gag orders, and various privileges that can be invoked/applied by the executive branch against whistleblowers in courts.
