Pete Tucker is a journalist for TheFightBack.org and WPFW 89.3 FM, Washington, D.C.’s Pacifica Radio station. This week, he called on President Barack Obama to pardon tax whistleblower Brad Birkenfeld. "In addition to a turkey, Obama should pardon a whistleblower this holiday season," Tucker says. He quotes from Ronald Birkenfeld’s letter to President Obama asking for a pardon of his son. He links to this video of Brad Birkenfeld’s award presentation at the Whistleblower Assembly (his brother Douglas Birkenfeld accepted the award on his behalf). Thank you, Pete Tucker, for joining this movement for Brad Birkenfeld’s pardon.
