Dear Mr. Vice President:

I respectfully urge you to support the campaign to formally establish July 30th as National Whistleblower Day through an Executive Order recognizing the vital role whistleblowers play in protecting our democracy.

On July 30, 1778, the Founding Fathers passed the first U.S. whistleblower law, affirming that citizens have a duty to report fraud and misconduct. That legacy continues today, with whistleblowers helping to uncover waste, corruption, and abuse—returning billions of dollars to the U.S. government each year.

Public support for whistleblowers is strong and bipartisan. A Marist Poll commissioned by Whistleblower Network News found that the vast majority of American voters favor increased protections and recognition for whistleblowers. Establishing National Whistleblower Day as a Federal Day of Observance is a unifying step that honors our history and strengthens our future.

I respectfully request that you take executive action to:

1. Designate July 30th as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day"; and
2. Direct all federal agencies to inform employees, contractors, and the public of their legal right to report wrongdoing in good faith and recognize the critical contributions of whistleblowers to accountability and the rule of law.

Too often, those who speak out face retaliation and silence. A permanent day of recognition would help shift the culture—offering validation, support, and justice to those who step forward in the public interest.

Now is the time to reaffirm our nation’s commitment to truth, transparency, and courage. I urge you to lead this important initiative and ensure that July 30th is forever known as National Whistleblower Day.

Thank you for your time and consideration.


Sincerely,
