In Their Own Words. . . .Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)

“The False Claims Act is our nation’s primary weapon against fraud, and it has been amended by Congress and reaffirmed by the courts throughout our history.  The qui tam provision has been particularly essential in our fight against fraudsters by leveraging whistleblowers’ knowledge of schemes that the government likely wouldn’t uncover on its own.  These brave and patriotic whistleblowers play a critical role in protecting taxpayers, and they deserve to be rewarded for the personal and professional risks they take.”

From his National Review opinion piece on the importance of upholding the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act because “whistleblowers are government’s greatest fraud fighters.”
