Frequently Asked Questions
Why Use the WhistleBlower Complaint format vs a normal Letter to Congress?
-
A letter to Congress is only received by two senators and one US House Representative from your Voting District. You may not be satisfied with the response you get from those three offices.
-
Your Signature on this WhistleBlower Complaint goes to each of the 535 members of the House and Senate in addition to Key Committees with responsibility for oversight of the Executive Branch. We also inform the Media.
-
A Letter to Congress is normally "one and done". If a new concern emerges, you must start a new letter.
-
This WhistleBlower Complaint is a living People's Complaint document. When new wrongdoings and crimes are committed by the Executive Branch, they are added to the existing Citations and then sent again to all members of Congress, Key Committees, and the Media.
If new Citations are submitted to Congress, will I get a chance to review before they are sent?
-
Yes. We will notify all those signed up when new charges and Citations are brought, and you can opt in or opt out.
What qualifies as a whistleblower complaint?
-
A whistleblower is someone who reports what they reasonably believe to be illegal conduct. Whistleblowing means disclosing information that you reasonably believe is evidence of a violation of any law, rule, or regulation; gross mismanagement; a gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; a miscarriage of Justice, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety.

Are Whistleblowers Protected from Retribution?
-
Federal Laws protect Whistleblower employees from retribution in most cases, with specific exceptions. The People’s Whistleblower Complaint is a grassroots, massive signature document where employment is not a factor, and therefore neither retribution nor employment has relevance.
What is the difference between a grievance and whistleblowing?
-
The whistleblower is not expected to prove the malpractice. He or she is a messenger raising a concern so that others can address it. This is very different from a grievance. When someone raises a grievance, they are saying that they have been personally harmed or treated poorly.
Who can be a Whistleblower?
-
Almost anyone with evidence of fraud or misconduct can be a whistleblower. You do not have to be a current or former employee of the company or agency that engaged in the fraud or misconduct. You do not need to have witnessed the fraud or misconduct yourself or have documentary evidence of the fraud or misconduct. You do not need to be an American citizen or resident. Whistleblower.org estimates the US government recovers over $1B/yr in fraud due to Citizen Whistleblower complaints.
Who can review the Disclosed Information in a Whistleblower Complaint?
-
Disclosed Information is often confidential, but not in the People’s Whistleblower Complaint, where all citations are widely known and public. Common audiences for Disclosed Information include: ■ Congress; ■ The Office of Special Counsel (OSC)[1]; ■ Offices of Inspectors General[2]; ■ Non-Governmental Organizations; ■ The media.
