US Ranks 41st in Press Freedom Index Thanks to 'War on Whistleblowers'
A free press and whistleblowers are essential to democracy.Without a free press & whistleblowers democracy cannot function.It is clear from the last five years of leaks that elected governements around the world feel they must act in secret because they suspect the electorate would not approve.Without much more oversight this will worsen.Free Chelsea Manning. Pardon Edward Snowden. Drop the inditement against Julian Assange. Offer sanctuary to Mossack Fonesca's whistleblower. Lead by example.
