SUBJECT: Recent Statements Regarding National Security Whistleblowers

To Congressman Souder:

As a whistleblower and a Republican, I am shocked, dismayed, and disgusted at your utter insensitivity to the plight of whistleblowers who speak out in order to protect the public welfare. Your statements show a crass and ill-informed (and I do mean ILL-INFORMED) disregard for the fact that every single whistleblower that I am aware of at the federal level has not only lost everything to include their careers, their financial stability, their retirement, their health, but much more. They have also, as in my case, lost family members from the stress that this has placed upon the families. Further, many of them (like myself and many others I know) have also been blackballed from finding employment. I venture to say, Sir, that if the shoe was on the other foot, then you would get a very quick taste of what a whistleblower’s life is REALLY like. Then, you would not be so emboldened to make such ridiculous and frivolous statements as the one you made recently. Trust me, I will do all within my power to ensure that every single Republican I know throughout the country and everyone else who votes in your district, will get a copy of your statement in their inbox as well as a copy of the video showing your disgusting display.

You do not deserve your office. And unless you issue a very swift public apology, I would suggest you begin looking for another job. Elections are coming up. And based on what I am seeing in this country right now, Americans are fed up with this kind of ridiculous rhetoric from legislators, particularly given the fact that the people of this country are beginning to see right through the Government’s rhetoric regarding our readiness to deal with terrorism.

Sincerely,

Sandra Nunn
