“We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.”1

Dear Attorney General Holder:
The Whistleblower Defense League is a nationwide group of experienced trial attorneys who have assembled to defend the principles of our democracy. The American people have an absolute right to know the truth about their government and the damaging influence of corporate wealth. Our forefathers did not fight for us to live in the fearful shadows of a darkened constitution, but in the brave light of freedom.
Criticism without action is the country of the weak. If the issue is not one of vision, but of limited resources, then the WBDL is available:
- To assist in prosecution of Wall Street and government entities that have engaged in the secretive, fraudulent and corrupt practices that have so damaged our nation.
- To independently review subpoenas of those who bravely investigate and disclose information about Wall Street and government entities that have engaged in the secretive, fraudulent and corrupt practices that have so damaged our nation.
We were given a republic and we intend to keep it. We can meet at any time.
Signed by WBDL Counsel: Jason Flores-Williams, Esq. of New Mexico; John Zwerling, Esq. of Virginia; Dennis Roberts, Esq. of California; Jeffrey Steinborn, Esq. of Washington; et al.
Media that fights fascism
Truthout is funded almost entirely by readers — that’s why we can speak truth to power and cut against the mainstream narrative. But independent journalists at Truthout face mounting political repression under Trump.
We rely on your support to survive McCarthyist censorship. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation.
