Motion to Quash’s Seven Major Campaigns on Behalf of NWC

internal link

The 118th Congress will end on January 3, 2025. Thus, there is one year remaining for Congress and the current-sitting executive officers to act on a number of pending whistleblower initiatives, all of which have strong bipartisan support, are based on the plain meaning of laws already passed by Congress, and which are individually or collectively essential for the implementation of the U.S. Anti-Corruption Strategy. Outside of political interference by those who stand to lose when whistleblowers are incentivized and protected, there is no legitimate reason why these reforms cannot be quickly approved. The actions listed below are needed for the Strategy to be implemented, but whose approval has been stalled or blocked by resistant executive agencies or a timid Congress.

Support the Campaign with Seven Easy Actions:

Action #1 of 2024 Call on FinCEN to Enact AML Regulations 

In 2022, Congress passed the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Whistleblower Improvement Act in December 2022. The law establishes a whistleblower award program for individuals who report money laundering and sanctions violations and is the most important anti-corruption law passed in decades.

Action #2 of 2024 DOJ must accept Confidential/Anonymous Disclosures

The Department of Justice still hasn’t implemented procedures for dealing with anonymous and confidential whistleblowers who report violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, despite being legally required to do so since 2021.

Action #3 of 2024 Strengthen the SEC Whistleblower Program

Urge Congress to strengthen the SEC Whistleblower Program and protect internal corporate whistleblowers by (1) passing the bipartisan SEC Whistleblower Reform Act of 2023 and (2) Calling on the SEC to broaden its definition of a voluntary whistleblower.

Action #4 of 2024 Support the IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) fails to compensate whistleblowers in a timely manner. These delays, which the IRS admits are average over 10-years, cause untold hardship to whistleblowers, many of whom have lost their jobs and careers, and their only hope for economic survival is the compensation promised under law.

Action #5 of 2024: Fix FCA loopholes

Thanks for all your support so far! We’ve completed over half of our actions to kick off 2024, and we only have three more to go! Today’s action is very important. The qui tam provision of the False Claims Act is under attack, even though reports by whistleblowers are responsible for over 70% of recovered assets under the FCA. (amounting to over $50 billion)

Action #6 of 2024 Strengthen the CFTC Whistleblower Program

The CFTC Whistleblower Program is in danger of being a victim of its own success. When the CFTC whistleblower rewards program was introduced, a fund was created to pay whistleblowers using the sanctions collected from whistleblower tips. However, this fund was capped at $100 million. Since the introduction of the program just over a decade ago, so many whistleblowers have come forward that this fund is almost out.

Action #7 of 2024 Make National Whistleblower Day a Federal Day of Observance

On behalf of the NWC, today is our last of seven days of action to start the new year, and today’s action is big. As many of you know, each year, the National Whistleblower Center holds a celebration for National Whistleblower Day. However, even though Congress recognizes the day each year, neither Congress nor the White House have taken action to permanently recognize July 30 as National Whistleblower Day.

Action #7 of 2024 Make National Whistleblower Day a Federal Day of Observance

On behalf of the NWC, today is our last of seven days of action to start the new year, and today’s action is big. As many of you know, each year, the National Whistleblower Center holds a celebration for National Whistleblower Day. However, even though Congress recognizes the day each year, neither Congress nor the White House have taken action to permanently recognize July 30 as National Whistleblower Day.

On July 30th, 1778, the Founding Fathers instituted the first U.S. whistleblower law to protect the government against fraud. This is an important part of American history, and one that should be celebrated. I have long supported whistleblowers, and a Marist Poll conducted by Whistleblower Network News also established that the majority of voters in the United States support whistleblowers and increased whistleblower protections. This bipartisan support for whistleblowers would surely extend to bipartisan support for National Whistleblower Day as a Federal Day of Observance.

Please join with me in urging President Biden to take executive action on behalf of whistleblowers. In doing so, President Biden would be taking a tremendous step forward in the federal government’s recognition of the importance of whistleblowers.

Specifically, I am calling for a requirement that federal agencies educate their employees about their right to blow the whistle, and that they celebrate the contributions whistleblowers have made to their agency and our democracy every year on July 30th.

Please urge President Biden to sign an Executive Order setting forth the following:

(1) July 30th is designated as “National Whistleblower Appreciation Day”; and

(2) The Federal Government shall implement the intent of the Founding Fathers, as reflected in the legislation passed on July 30, 1778 (relating to whistleblowers), by requiring each executive agency to recognize National Whistleblower Appreciation Day by—

(A) informing employees, contractors working on behalf of the taxpayers of the United States, and members of the public about the legal right of a United States citizen to “blow the whistle” to the appropriate authority by honest and good faith reporting of misconduct, fraud, misdemeanors, or other crimes; and

(B) acknowledging the contributions of whistleblowers to combating waste, fraud, abuse, and violations of laws and regulations of the United States.

We must recognize the courageous contributions that whistleblowers have made to rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Whistleblowers are credited with bringing in billions of dollars per year to U.S. government coffers. The culture around whistleblowers, however, remains that of being ostracized and retaliated against.

Now more than ever, we need a permanent day of recognition for whistleblowers to show our nation’s commitment to truth, anti-corruption, and effective law enforcement. Help us make each July 30th National Whistleblower Day, so we can change the culture and truly honor the contributions of whistleblowers while fostering their courage to speak up about wrongdoing.

Please send this prewritten email template to your officials asking that they recognize National Whistleblower Day. This day is about much more than an event or a holiday. It’s about changing the culture around whistleblowing in federal agencies. Check out more info here.

This live, in-person event on July 27th will honor the contributions of whistleblowers to our nation, and the storied history of whistleblowing in the U.S.

National Whistleblower Day 2023 on Capitol Hill 
Why We Celebrate National Whistleblower Day
The history of National Whistleblower Day dates back to the founding days of our nation. On July 30th 1778, The U.S. Continental Congress passed America’s first whistleblower law during the height of the American Revolution. To honor this history and the foundational nature of of whistleblowing in America, we celebrate National Whistleblower Day every year on July 30th.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) signed the first National Whistleblower Day 10 years ago.Since then, NWC has supported an incredible group of whistleblowers and their bi-partisan allies in Congress to continue the NWD tradition. 

In recognition of the sacrifices of whistleblowers, and in honor of the crucial contributions that whistleblowers have made to our democracy, Motion to Quash LLC stands with NWC wholeheartedly alongside the whistleblowers. We’re calling on both chambers of Congress and President Biden to permanently designate July 30 as National Whistleblower Day in the U.S. This is the single most important action the Federal Government can take to acknowledge the importance of whistleblowing and combating the culture of retaliation against whistleblowers.

Your Tax Dollars Support Whistleblowers!

Dear Readers,

Welcome to this year’s National Whistleblower Day celebration. This year we’re celebrating online, again, with the NWC, and will have many opportunities to interact.

We’re proud to announce that the House Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds will kick off our event!

The Office is an independent and nonpartisan resource dedicated to serving the U.S. House of Representatives. It advises members of Congress on best practices for working with whistleblowers from the public and private sectors. It also offers resources to educate whistleblowers regarding our rights and options for reporting wrongdoing.

Indeed, Motion to Quash LLC is very familiar with this Office and so honored that they will present their work with Staff Directors Tim Monahan, and Jamie Fleet.

We often contact Congress directly about our concerns and this is your chance to learn how professional whistleblower advocates help prepare your legislators to work with whistleblowers. Your tax dollars are at work, and we invite you to RSVP for our free event to get updates. After that, participate in our Q&A on July 28th, at 2:30 PM EST

Emphatically, Motion to Quash LLC is committed to advocating for whistleblowers and spreading public awareness about the adversity whistleblowers face—to continue with this mission, we need your support. Encourage your friends to RSVP today.

Please ask Congress , as soon as possible, to make National Whistleblower Day a Federal Day of Observance.

Sincerely,

Tracie Burke, President

NATIONAL WHISTLEBLOWER DAY

Dear Readers,

I’m honored to be recognized by the NWC for a third year for disclosing public corruption, fraud, and misuse of public funds in Louisiana.

On July 30th, the United States will celebrate National Whistleblower Day, the 244th anniversary of the country’s first whistleblower law. This year NWC will celebrate with three days of live events. Each July 30th, the National Whistleblower Center holds an annual event where the varied accomplishments and impacts of notable whistleblowers in our nation’s history are celebrated. Speakers, participants, and the whistleblowers celebrated come from across the political spectrum, joining together to recognize the importance of protecting whistleblowers. Past speakers include Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, SEC Chair Gary Gensler, Senator Chuck Grassley, and Senator Tammy Duckworth.Last year, more than 10,000 people tuned in to watch the National Whistleblower Center’s Whistleblower Day event, with dozens of different advocates, policymakers, and whistleblowers speaking on the full range of pressing whistleblower issues. It is a forum to discuss the substantial impact of whistleblower information on exposing corporate fraud, the misuse of public funds, wildlife destruction, the shirking of safety regulations, and any other behavior that harms the public. This year our program will span from July 28 through 30th as follows: Day 1: Legislators, Regulators, and Government Officials; Day 2: International Whistleblowers and International Whistleblower Advocates; and Day 3: Recognizing Whistleblowers and U.S. Whistleblower Advocates. Our program is in the works, and the best way to stay updated about latest developments is to RSVP! NWC is committed to advocating for whistleblowers and spreading public awareness about the adversity whistleblowers face—to continue with this mission, we need your support. Thank you for reading, and please look out for this year’s National Whistleblower Day event, hosted by NWC. RSVP for National Whistleblower Day here.

WE MADE HISTORY IN JULY!

By Tracie Burke | Motion to Quash LLC | August 22, 2021

Internal link

I attended the National Whistleblower Center’s (NWC) National Whistleblower Day celebration. It was a masterclass celebration honoring the amazing contributions of whistleblowers and I’m so grateful I was recognized. It was a historic event.

Celebrating whistleblowers is not always fun, it takes determination and commitment to stand beside other whistleblowers against waste, fraud, and abuse. But after seeing the monumental support for us at this National Whistleblower Day, I know that we can stand up and speak truthfully. 

Largest and Most Prestigious National Whistleblower Day Ever!

It was my privilege to represent Motion to Quash LLC on National Whistleblower Day and to help promote the event. While more than 1000 people RSVP’d for National Whistleblower Day this year, even more showed up to join the celebration! Our 2021 National Whistleblower Day celebration had nearly 10,000 people in attendance, celebrating whistleblowers. Together, we made history.

With Mistress of Ceremonies, Jan Turner, FBI Whistleblower, and more than 60 speakers making up the more than a dozen panels, this was the largest National Whistleblower Day event in history. Speakers, ranging from a wealth of whistleblowers like Kimberly Young McLear, Thomas Le Bonniec, and Allison Gill; to government leaders like Senator Charles Grassley, Secretary Marty Walsh, SEC Chair Gary Gensler,  Representative Jackie Speier and Senator Tammy Duckworth; to whistleblower experts like Stephen Kohn, Taxpayers Against Fraud’s Jeb White, Project On Government Oversight’s Melissa Wasser, Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival Organizer Marcel Reid, and whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid; made the program the gem of the whistleblower community this year.

Motion to Quash LLC has received an outpouring of positive feedback and invites you to stay tuned for future events. Donate today to support more great events like National Whistleblower Day. We could not have done it without you!

Celebrating Whistleblower Victories

In addition to our unprecedented success at National Whistleblower Day, many pieces of whistleblower protection legislation were introduced recently. Motion to Quash LLC supports and is following:

The recently reintroduced Congressional Whistleblower Protection Act of 2021, introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) in the U.S. Senate, which, if adopted, would provide protections for federal employees, current and former, whose right to petition or furnish information to Congress is interfered with or denied. NWC, joined by POGO, TAF, and WoA, issued a letter of support for this bill on July 28. Motion to Quash LLC firmly supports this bill.

The Whistleblower Protection Improvement Act of 2021 (WPIA), introduced by a bipartisan group of Representatives led by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). The critical reform bill would strengthen whistleblower protections for federal employees who expose wrongdoing, providing them greater legal recourses against retaliation including access to a jury trial. Motion to Quash LLC firmly supports this bill.

Finally, the IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act of 2021, introduced by Sens. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR), would ensure the integrity of our nation’s tax system by strengthening and improving the IRS Tax Whistleblower Program. NWC, joined by TAF, POGO, and GAP, issued a letter of support on June 16. Motion to Quash LLC firmly supports this bill.

Motion to Quash LLC thanks and recognizes the efforts of NWC, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Sen. Charles Grassley, and Sen. Ron Wyden for introducing these important bills and their continued support for whistleblowers.
