In Their Own Words....Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) On National Whistleblower Appreciation Day

“Whistleblowers are brave men and women who perform an invaluable public service. They must be protected. . . . Dating back to the Revolutionary War . . ., the first whistleblowers reported fraud and misconduct. Our Founding Fathers knew the importance of rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. As I stand here today in July 2024 – a long way’s away from the Revolutionary War – the same sentiment remains and must remain.”

From his press release commemorating July 30 as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day and his introduction of a Senate resolution officially recognizing the day. This is the 11th year in a row Senator Grassley has introduced the National Whistleblower Appreciation Day resolution on behalf of the entire Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus on which he serves as Co-Chair.
