WHISTLEBLOWER TIPS
Protecting Those Who Protect the Truth
A TRADITION AS OLD AS THE REPUBLIC
America's commitment to whistleblower protection is woven into the fabric of the Republic itself. On July 30, 1777 — just one year after the Declaration of Independence — the Continental Congress passed America's first whistleblower protection law, unanimously resolving that “it is the duty of all persons in the service of the United States to give the earliest information to Congress or other proper authority of any misconduct, frauds, or misdemeanors committed by any officers or persons in the service of these states.”
That was not a suggestion; it was a command from the Founders themselves: if you see corruption, you have a duty to report it.
From Deep Throat's exposure of Watergate, to Erin Brockovich's fight against Pacific Gas & Electric's poisoning of an entire community, to Jeffrey Wigand blowing the whistle on Big Tobacco's lies about nicotine addiction, to Edward Snowden revealing the government's mass surveillance of its own citizens — every generation of Americans has relied on ordinary people with extraordinary courage to hold power accountable.
America First News stands in that tradition. We believe the next great act of accountability might come from you — whether as a whistleblower sharing insider knowledge or a citizen journalist documenting evidence from the ground.

BE THAT CITIZEN JOURNALIST OR WHISTLEBLOWER
You do not have to be famous. You do not need a law degree. You do not need to work in Washington. You just need to know something that the American people deserve to hear — or capture evidence that exposes wrongdoing. Inspired by figures like James O'Keefe, who has empowered everyday citizens to investigate and report, or Jana Winter, whose tenacious journalism in Minnesota revealed systemic failures, we encourage you to step forward.
Perhaps it is fraud in a government agency. Maybe it is a pharmaceutical company hiding safety data. It could be corruption in your local school board, or a cover-up at a corporation harming workers or consumers. Whatever it is — if it matters, we want to hear it. Join the ranks of those who have changed history through courage and truth.
