NFFE is excited to announce a new project that celebrates YOU, America’s federal civil servants.
#UpholdTheOath is a simple but powerful way for you to publicly reaffirm your commitment to the ideals
listed in the oath of office. Simply record a video of yourself reciting the oath and upload it to
www.upholdtheoath.org
Remember to:
1. Use your personal cell phone or computer (not one issued by the U.S. government).
2. Make sure to do this on your own time, outside of a Federal building, vehicle or lands.
3. Do not wear clothing identifying your agency or employer, or anything promoting a campaign or political party.
Then, spread the word! Please encourage others to participate when they are off the clock and out of their workplace building.
Koch Brothers Aim to Strip Protections from Federal Employees Starting with the VA, Then at All Government Agencies
June 10th, 2017
Billionaire brothers Charles and David H. Koch are using their network of conservative organizations to push for legislation that strips essential protections for federal employees in an attempt to disrupt the federal government. The passing of the “Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017” was a damaging first step in their vision of eradicating the layers of protections awarded to hard-working federal civil servants.
NFFE is fighting to stop any additional laws that serve no purpose other than to politicize the federal government. Unfortunately, the Koch Brothers and their expansive network of support is well on their way to pushing for more destructive government-wide measures.
