A Letter to 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.

“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.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $21,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
