Origins
On 29 June 2006, The National Security Whistleblowers Coalition announced its Whistleblowers’ Dirty Dozen Campaign. She listed members of congress who "by their action or inaction, have stood against real investigations, hearings, and legislation dealing with government whistleblowers who have exposed waste, fraud, abuse, and or criminal activities within government agencies."[1][2]
