No Fear in DC and Beyond

A huge conference is scheduled for next week, May 12-16, as part of Whistleblowers Week in DC. For our readers who live in or near that area, I'd strongly recommend that you attend. It'll bring together a strong group of activists, farmers, and legislators. People we know from around the country will be there to speak about things related to the price that people pay for blowing the whistle on wrong-doers and wrongful acts. They will speak at the Tribunal on Wednesday 14th. People will be there to speak in particular of whistleblowing and the USDA and black farmers along with a host of other arenas of the federal government.

I hope it is televised on C-span.

The original bill was signed into law by President Bush on May 12, 2002 as the Notification and Federal Employee Anti-discrimination and Retaliation of 2002 (No FEAR) Act. Here is the link to the document.
