[Joseph Carson, PE]

Here is a “something real, someting now” suggestion/request.  Please consider it and contact me if you are willing to put your name to one or more letters supporting a lawful resolution of my contentions of decades-long, continuing, federal agency lawbreaking that has battered the integrity of the federal civil service and significantly contributes to the institutional distrust that works to preclude the collective action humanity must take to reach year 2100 more-or-less intact.
I am a deeeply concerned licensed professional engineer (PE), employed by U.S. Department of Energy in a position with nuclear safety responsibilities.  I am privileged vocationally, just as most people involved with MAHB.   So what to MAHB?  2 things:  1) there are significant and persistent deficiencies to the scope and implementation of engineering ethics that enable much institutional evil in world, and 2) there is a 35 year-long “broken covenant” between the President and federal agency heads with the 2.1 members of the federal civil service, see http://www.broken-covenant.org for extensive details.  
I am a long-time member of several engineering/science societies including AAAS, NSPE, ANS, and ASME.  None have anything to boast about regarding upholding and defending engineering ethics/scientific integrity when offended by an employer of an engineer or scientist, I claim they are AWOL, for all intents and purposes, in such situations.   The legal record is that I “prevailed” – multiple times – as a federal whistleblower and these groups did little or nothing to de-legimitize the law-breaking – repeated law-breaking, unappealably established by law – I suffered because I was so foolhardy to put my positive legal and professional duty to protect others before my professional standing and economic security – the “idols” of the professional class. 
Fast-forward about 10 years.   I have put my finger on why my agency was able to slap me around with impunity.  For 35 years now, successive Presidents have failed or refused to comply with their primary statutory duty to members of the federal civil service.  I’m saying this publicly, as a PE and current federal employee.   If it costs me my PE license, job and pension to state the truth and try to expose and stop this federal agency law-breaking, so be it.  That is the kind of “ethical revitalization” – in my profession of engineering and federal civil service – that is necessary for the persistence of civilization.   This isn’t a walk in the park, there are vested interests that are willing to kill in many parts of world – and destroy decent people here in America – to keep status quo intact.   I don’t see that cost – that an ethical revitalization will  be strongly opposed and will cost many decent people their lives, liberty, professional standing, marriages, economic security, etc to accomplish.   Can that be stated here?  If not here, then where?  If not now, then when?
I have the President and many others somewhat cornered.  Why am I still employed, still hold a highly sensitive security clearance, etc?  Apparently, they don’t want to give me a chance to make my case about 35 years of compounded federal agency lawbreaking, now implicating the President.  So they ignore me, just as leaders of my professional societies do. No one is now saying my concerns are not well-evidenced.
I NEED help – your help – to persuade “power that be” that the costs ignoring me exceed directly a lawful resolution of my concerns.
 
Do you belong to AAAS?  NSPE?  ASME?  ANS?  If so you can help persuade their leaders to stop “looking other way” and request a lawful resolution of my concerns.   It’s not hard, no lawsuits required, only an application of rule of law within the Executive Branch regarding the intepretation of several 35 year-old civil service laws.
Thanks for whatever consideration you give my request.
Respcetfully,
