Blowing the Whistle on Crime and Corruption

[Keith Broaders]

When we remain silent as these transgressions are taking place we become accomplices to their crimes. The agents of the government use fear and intimidation to keep us silent. We must overcome our fear and speak up when governmental crimes are being committed.

The Constitution is a rulebook for the government to follow. In order to live in a just society, the rules must be obeyed. If they are not, we live in a lawless society where no one's life, liberty or property are secure.

When a law is just it is our responsibility to obey it, but when a law is unjust we have a duty to refuse to comply with it.

A society without a conscience is a society where the rights of the many can be exploited for the benefit of the few. Only in a society where the just laws are enforced can the people enjoy their lives, liberty and property.
