Steven Colbert, a lonely nation is waiting for you! I thought all of this should have been featured at the rally to restore Sanity. What could be saner than the truth!

Okay. You've given us a pretty thorough rundown on what's going on and what's at stake, Jim. What would you like our readers to do in the next few days?

1. Call your Congressman, write to him/her and demand swift vote in the next few days of the WPEA - this is urgent. Tell the readers that every hour counts.

2. Demand further protection and support additional whistleblower protection in the future- an uphill battle, but this is not the end of the struggle.
