We the undersigned, want the firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin investigated in a bi-partisan fashion.
Mr. Walpin was fired by Obama because he had investigated Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson -- an Obama supporter -and discovered alleged misuse of federal funds, OUR tax money.
"- The method of Walpin's firing could be a violation of the 2008 Inspectors General Reform Act, which requires the president to give Congress 30 days' notice, plus an explanation of cause, before firing an inspector general.
- Efforts to force Walpin to resign could be seen as an effort to push Walpin out of his job so that the White House would not have to go through the 30-day process or give a reason for its action.
-In the course of his investigation, Mr. Walpin found Johnson and St. HOPE had failed to use the federal money they received for the purposes specified in the grant and had also used federally-funded AmeriCorps staff for, among other things, "driving [Johnson] to personal appointments, washing his car, and running personal errands." Walpin came to the conclusion that Johnson and St. HOPE should be subject to suspension and debarment."
