pag 7 paragraph III:

*Protect Whistleblowers:*

Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in
government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity
and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can
sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged
rather than stifled as they have been during the Bush administration. We
need to empower federal employees as
watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will
strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste,
fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal
agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and
whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process.

How cute?
