Hold Up Trap...No Whistleblowing!!!

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0810/41178.html

This document is about how Congress delayed a bill for whistle blowing. This bill states that when you are accused of corruption you can not not retaliate. This bill was delayed because Congress is having big problems with corruption already. Many people believe that it should be passed though because it really protects the Legislative Branch from being insulted and bring down. This could help make congress focus on what is important.

In Article I, Section 7 the Legislative branch has the: Revenue Bills, Legislative Process, an Presidential Veto. " All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill."

I think this should be passed, this bill could help congress focus more on what is important than about what people think of them. This could get things done and if that happens we could solve a couple of problems that we are having in our country, which would make the people of America very happy. even if that isn't the outcome what bad could happen if we did pass this bill.
