Don't know that anyone is looking for someone to feel sorry for them. If so, they're in the wrong profession. But what would you normally expect out of someone working in an organization? I was paid (pretty well, thank you) to give advice to a series of bosses. Sometimes it wasn't what they wanted to hear--their throwing creme-filled donuts was a clue. But once a decision is made, one shuts up. You just march along quietly--maybe with misgivings, but you keep them to yourself and do your job. Political parties are no different. I realize that's not the portrait of the heroic whistle-blower. But most of us are not really that kind of person, and fortunately most of us never get put in situations where that's an option.

Lower level employees can't risk rocking the boat for fear of losing their jobs and I sympathize with their plight. It's the higher ups that I feel no sympathy or empathy for. They can almost always find other gainful employment. If you can ignore your conscience or don't have one when confronted with an ethical and moral dilema then you deserve what you get or don't get.

"Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."
