Will True Patriots, despite political leanings, come to aid of true modern day HEROES ?
If there was ever a time in history, when the opportunity to serve ones country, by doing so little, for so many, that time is now. True American Heroes, they have on be-half of America, Blown the whistle, when they've seen an injustice, or a crime, or misuse of Government, they didn't stand by, they didn't turn their heads, knowing the personal price that they will pay. They rocked the boat. They won't stand for it, not on their watch, no sir. Some are veterans, some serve in Government, some work in the private sector. Some have been beaten, others have survived assassination attempts and lived to tell about it. All have been subjected to systematical attacks on their character, constantly having to defend their actions.

Just a couple of examples of many of the ways they are paying the price. They are made to feel like traitors, un-American, and yet they fight on. They need our support. What can We do ? Write letters on their behalf, join as fan on face book, join the support.org, be creative, spread the word.
They could use our help, maybe if Whistle-Blowers were treated and appreciated for the Heroes they are, maybe, just maybe, there would be more of them, and we might actually get some things fixed in this country.
