Whistle Blowers

Open email to Republican members of Congress:

Dear Republican Members of Congress,
    You have been doing an excellent job in investigating the overreach of numerous Obama Administration Agencies, through your committee hearings. Your persistence in questioning various agency employees is bearing fruit by slowly slowly bringing out the facts of agency unreasonable or idownright illegal operations.
    In your interrogations, the facts start to emerge from individuals who are employed by the agencies. You have been confronted by two attitudes of the various interrogated individuals. They stonewall you to the extent that you obtain no information, because there replies are reticent and deceptive or in one case a claim to Fifth Amendment right. These people are "good" Democrats showing allegiance to Pres. Obama of such intensity that you can expect to obtain no information.
    On the other hand some interrogated individuals show a tendency to cooperation. They may be good Democrats, which is why they are employed by the Obama administration in the first place, but they also have a limit on the violation of their integrity. In other words, their guilt feelings may be encouraging them to cooperate with you in bringing out the facts of an investigation.. I call these people whistle blowers, and in so doing, I do not apply it as a derogatory term. Rather, I regard it as an action by an individual who wants to do the right thing.
    Whistle blowers can either be volunteers, in which case they jump out of "nowhere" to volunteer information on some nefarious scheme or operation. Alternatively, whistle blowers may be truthful and helpful in supplying information only when properly managed. I want to confine my discussion to that letter group.
    A reticent whistle blower has mixed feelings. While he may have allegiance to the Democratic party and to the Obama administration, he also has, as mentioned above, a feeling of guilt, if he has been asked to or is operating in an area which violates his conscience. Generally, he can persist in this bilateral attitude because he is being well-paid. He also knows that if he becomes a whistle blower he will be castigated by his party, lose his job involving whatever power he may have, and decrease his income to zero. That is a bitter pill to swallow, and it is up to you Republicans to alleviate the anticipated pain prior to or during the interrogation.
    Republicans should remember that there is no absolutely clear distinction between attitudes of all Democrats and Republicans. Many individuals are classified as one of the other with strong controversial leanings.
    You Congressional Republicans should make a strong attempt to gain as many people to your cause as possible. The fact that a person being interrogated by your committee shows a tendency for cooperation is an indication that he is sympathetic to what you are trying to do. In such case, you should welcome him with open arms, and with no less than a strong action to minimize his loss of income, which he is giving up as an agency employee.
    I am not familiar with the full financial budgets of Congressional members, but each Representative or Senator has the ability to hire employees and advisers. This could be a source of continued income for those persons who are eliminated from employment by Obama Administration agencies. This could also be used as an enticement to agency employees presently fence sitting, and who would like to satisfy their consciences.
