VA	Hang in there Chief! Those of us who know the job and know how hard it can be are behind you all the way! There are folks out here that are behind you 100%!
MD	This whole thing is ridiculous. You finally get an honest leader in a leadership position and some little internal government terrorist can take them out. Give her back her job.
IL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	I'm a law enforcement officer. Police Departments need personnel like you to inform the public what is really going. When something�s wrong the first person the public looks at is the head of that department and the decision makers ever step up and it is our fault!!!!
DC	Ridiculous.
Unk.	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	More ridiculous actions from the 'cult of secrecy' surrounding the White House...

Unk.	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
TN	This woman should not be fired or punished for her remarks. Someone or several someones are over-reacting to the totality of the circumstances. This firing only makes the Park Service and the Bush Administration look like a bunch of bullies/thugs

CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Reinstate Chief Chambers and stop this insanity which was caused by a big ego named murphy!! He is the one who should be shown the door.

MI	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
AL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
Unk.	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	I think her actions were totally in keeping with her professional duties. I think her superiors' actions were not in keeping with their professional duties, not to mention their own citizen's duties to let other citizens know what is going on. As neighbors of a NPS road and property, we know that our protection has decreased.
NY	It is Don Murphy who should be fired.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	Do Not Fire Chief Chambers. She is Honest and Brave.
WA	This type of action is exactly why the american populace has lost all faith in its government.

MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
PA	This personnel action is downright Kafkaesque. It could have been scripted by Kafka quoting Orwell.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
HI	It is the pervasive muzzling of Federal employees that has eroded my belief that this administration would live up to its campaign promises. It seems that career employees, and even appointed employees with fantastic credentials, are leaving or being fired from public service en masse. This can only mean one thing: they cannot continue doing their job unless they adopt a partisan stance consistent with the republic party.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	I believe our Federal employees should be rewarded for honesty, not punished!
NY	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
WA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
WA	I feel that Ms. Chambers should be commended for being honest about the current state of affairs, rather than be fired for telling the public the truth.
CA	Another railroad job.
WV	When the 'Immediate Superiors' as the 'National Park Three', gag an Honest Federal Law Enforcement Officer, as the record shows Chief Chambers is, this surely compromises her 1st Amendment Rights. When the 'National Park Three' allow 'Internal Terrorist Acts' to not be investigated, are not held accountable and go unpunished, then the only question anyone can ask is, "Where has Democracy gone?" Chief Chambers must be reinstated at once.
WA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	To condemn and try to fire Teresa Chambers for speaking the truth about a serious problem is unacceptable. She should be commended for her honesty and dedication to our country.

FL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
FL	Mr. Murphy is out of line. Reinstate Chief Chambers.

OH	I attended the FBI National Academy with Teresa Chambers. She is a class act.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
OH	Perhaps you have over reacted a bit and cooler heads should prevail!!
NY	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MN	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CO	This sounds like someone making a mountain out of a molehill. It sounds absurd. Reinstate her and don't waste your funding on lawyers and court fees.
AZ	this is an egregious abuse of regulatory power which cries out for correction.
MO	Would you rather have someone work to increase security in our parks, or just go along with a bad situation to keep a job? I firmly vote for the former!
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	This is outrageous and the government must not be allowed to fire Ms. Chambers. Bush and his cronies constitute the worst administration this country has ever had and this is but one symptom of their moral bankruptcy.
WA	It seems the principal concerns of the Bush administration lie in the area of withholding information from the public.
NH	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NC	Keep Chief Chambers as Chief. Terminate Murphy and Mainella.
CO	(NPS) Management think they can make up laws and get away with anything. Will they hire another police chief that will look the other way and ignore security issues so the problem will not have to be fixed? Its the same reason why problems with NASA, the Air Force Academy, and NIH exist. Because the upper level managers ignore security issues and are not held responsible!
MD	The Park Service will never have a finer Chief than Teresa Chambers.
MA	It is a sad day for our country when a civil servant is fired for being a) competent enough to see what's right in front of her and b) honest enough to discuss it in public. Teresa Chambers is a PUBLIC SERVANT in every sense of the word, and I, as a member of the public, WANT HER SERVICE.
FL	8 years in the U.S. Navy and 20 years with the U.S. Justice Department give me reason to understand that angry retributive actions diminish American justice. REINSTATE!
NY	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
	A fellow police officer
FL	I hope that the National Park Service loses its right to oversee The DC Area, if this is the way they treat their employees!
SC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	I think that this whole thing is nothing but a witch hunt by Mr. Murphy, Don. Mr. Murphy himself should be removed from his position. This is an insult to all U.S. Law Enforcement Officers and especially U.S. Park Police Officer, by Mr. Murphy, Don, NPS and DOI managers. Chief Chambers, Teresa should be reinstated immediately. Thank you.
AL	Where a politically correct weasel would have flourished, a true eagle dedicated to her people and to the responsibilities given her has been sucked into the great jet engine of spin doctors and dog-and-pony-show MBA's who don't have a clue of what is needed to protect our nation's most treasured resources. The Park Service has a long way to go to revive its long-held tradition of loyal and patriotic service. Personally, I hope Chief Chambers finds fit to move on to an agency that deserves her dedication and true loyalty, the Park Service obviously can't 'afford' a person of her caliber.
MD	Chief Chambers is a shining example of excellence. It is those who are trying to remove her who should be removed. What are their motives? I heard the interview on WTOP. She has my full confidence.
WA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NY	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NJ	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

TX	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
ID	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
IL	As a former federal agency attorney and a concerned American, I find it outrageous that Chief Chambers is being railroaded in this manner. We the people have a need to know the information which she is being pilloried for providing.
NY	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	The paranoid, micromanaging Bush administration strikes again!!! Hopefully, they will strike out soon.
VA	Chief Chambers should be re-instated ASAP. I along with other concerned citizens are draft a letter, and are going to lobby congress. The actions taken by the Dept. of Interior and others is disgraceful!

NY	It seems to me that Chief Chambers is the only one qualified to answer the questions posed to her.
PA	Thank you.
CA	These charges would be laughable were it not for the damage being done to the credibility of the National Park Service. The NPS was once the most respected agency in the government and the present administration seems determined to destroy it. Shame!

Unk.	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
WA	It sure looks to me that this is a hatchet job. If there is any justice left in this country you might be opening yourself to a suit.
NC	It is time for an honest, hard-working WOMAN to be reinstated in her position. This whole situation is ridiculous. Some officials obviously have too much time on their hands; perhaps they should be working with Chief Chambers to protect our parks and ensure the safety of the citizens, rather than wasting time and taxpayers' money.
FL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NC	I support the reinstatement of Chief Chambers. She is an honest woman and very hard working. Let's do the right thing this time.

Unk.	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
TX	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MO	I think an investigation is warranted as to whether there was White House pressure on this. When someone states simple facts about this administration having no clothes, they show their thin skin and bullying manner. Too bad its rather obvious the king has no clothes in this case. And he has no brains, tact, tolerance or ability to think in any manner except that of short-term political gain either.
IL	This is outrageous! I work in the emergency management field and actions such as this only work to weaken our defense.

VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	After reading the proposed removal from Murphy and the reply from Chambers it becomes obvious that Murphy should be removed instead
	I read both statements, top to bottom. Whew! Murphy's sounds infantile, like a two-year old throwing a tantrum. Ms. Chambers, we will never meet, but I hope you don't get your old job back. You should get Murphy's!!
WA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	I join with others in the outrage over how Chief Chambers was dismissed. This smacks a lot of the "good old boy" network. Her record is unblemished and her honesty is refreshing. Of course we still have that ever present word for firing employees who speak the truth called "Insubordination" Shame, Shame on the Park Service! Good Luck Teresa!!

MD	This action by the Bush Administrations Lackeys is outrageous! Look at the Washington Post article about the "Dirty Bomb" left near the Washington Monument. This Homeland Security is a JOKE. It's been two and a half years since 9/11 !!! I don't feel any safer . . . .
IN	You Go Girl
Unk.	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
	Perhaps with the Paul o'Neill book out, the Bushies will lay off Chief Chambers
OK	Typical Republican (usually) act to gag those who make life a little more difficult by telling the truth, when there is no reason the truth should not be told. To cite non-existent "law" as a reason to dismiss her probably is a crime itself.

MA	This seems to be an egregious misuse of power.
NC	After having read the entire case against the Chief and the rebuttal, I am totally convinced that the Deputy Director�s case is not sufficient to fire the Chief.

ME	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

OH	We have too many government appointees acting as if they have the power of god over the public. The spokesman that says that it is none of the public�s business is out of line and should be disciplined, demoted at the least. The public is his employer. They have every right to know what is going on.
AZ	I think that before they go after someone for this, they need to look into the whole yard and not just the flower pot.
TX	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CO	This action is disgusting and despicable. Reinstate the woman immediately.
CA	It�s wrong to fire Ms. Chambers to muzzle government employees. Our government is a PUBLIC organization accountable to American citizens; unlike private companies and corporations where management is accountable only to the owners and shareholders. Ms. Chambers was fulfilling her duty to keep citizens informed about our government�s challenges. As a responsible citizen I MUST make informed decisions regarding our elected representatives. Government employees like Ms. Chambers must be protected from irresponsible retaliation from our government�s executive management.
PA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

NY	an honest discussion of facts arguing both for and against a position is not disloyal - its rationality in action.
IN	I'm a retired "Chief" from Albany, Indiana. As we all know since 911 we have been asked to perform many safety issues without the proper manpower and funds.
WI	It seems obvious from the record presented on both sides that Mr. Murphy is attempting to fire Chief Chambers in order to appease factions within the NPS that dislike the Chief, that have attempted to find ways to discredit or demoralize her since her hiring in petty and mean-spirited ways, and that are "embarrassed" by her public disclosures, despite that they are open, publicly available knowledge. It seems that the "old boy" network is alive and well in this instance. I hope that public awareness of this case will have an illuminating effect on the NPS internal structure, as well as on other public hierarchies that hope to maintain the status quo, and avoid the light of the public eye.
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

KY	Dear Chief Chambers, I am so sorry that you are enduring what so many professionals of the National Park Service/United States Park Police have dealt with throughout the last decade. Crime is up, case closure is down, and the drain on our field ranks continues to grow, unabated. I have just read all 64 pages of your rebuttal to ASD. Murphy's termination of your appointment. To say the least, it embarrasses me that this is a reflection of our leadership at the Washington level. We (You and I) met briefly in Charleston, South Carolina during the 2003 S.E. Region's Chief Rangers Conference. At that time I expressed the importance of the USPP collaboration in the collective oversight of the NPS law enforcement program. USPP through its mandate of General Orders assists in keeping the USNPS enforcement program honest. I to have been personally/professionally threatened with silence for extolling the staff and funding shortages that continue to put visitors and resources at risk. Not at the park level, but at the regional level. I have retained my documentation and I am more than willing to come forward in whatever forum is necessary to bolster your findings. This attempt at smoke and mirrors must end before more U.S. Park Police personnel and National Park Rangers find themselves in harms way at the expense of bureaucratic wrangling. In watching FOX and CNN tonight I was amazed at the two-plus-year-old new stories referring to security discrepancies at the National Mall. I question why these news accounts are coming out now, and who is giving this info to the press at this time. It seems as if Murphy is trying to bring the court of public opinion back into his camp in an attempt to diffuse your revelations. Good luck, I am here to assist you in whatever way I can.
NC	Teresa Chambers did an outstanding job for the Durham Police Department before going to Washington and for the Park Police to fire her go for such petty reasons is despicable. I strongly suggest she be reinstated as Chief of the Park Police. It's doubtful you will find a better law enforcement officer / administrator to replace her. We taxpayers deserve her caliber.

Chief Chambers is being persecuted in an attempt to frighten others into silent submission. As always, such actions waste tax moneys and threaten the functioning of an honest, forthright government, answerable to the people.

MI	I believe the National Park Service has acted wrongly and in an authoritarian manner. I applaud all watchdog and oversight efforts to make government and private agencies accountable to the precepts of simple common sense which seems really uncommon, alas.
TN	I believe the Administration of the NPS has acted wrongfully in attempting to discipline Teresa Chambers, Chief of the National Parks Police. She is a professional of high integrity who is committed to excellence in the performance of her duties. She has done nothing to warrant such extreme action by Director Fran Mainella and her Associate Director, Don Murphy. I strongly recommend that she be reinstated without prejudice. -- (4-30-06): The charges against Chief Chambers are too trivial to warrant such drastic disciplinary action. I highly support her re-instatement to the position of Chief, National Capitol Parks Police.
FL	This action by the Interior Department to remove Chief Chambers is an outrage, plain and simple.
NC	I was very impressed with Teresa Chambers when she was our Police Chief in Durham, NC. She did a lot of good things for Durham.
MD	As some of us said in our college days (and don't take this as disrespect but), "You go girl!"
FL	Chief Chambers� truthful and honest answers to a reporter's questions do not warrant her termination. It is a shame that political vengeance appears to have instigated her removal. People of sound moral character and good conscience should not let that happen. Please reinstate Chief Chambers as Chief of the United States Park Police.

It would be detrimental to the Nation's Capitol if she was removed from office. Her superiors should reconsider and more carefully assess their position.

MD	I am a US Park Police Explorer and NPS volunteer. I have been on two ride alongs with the brave officers of the US Park Police and can tell you from first hand experience that Chief Chambers is right. USPP is understaffed and underfunded. She should not get fired for telling the truth.
MD	I had the pleasure of attending a conference for Women in Law Enforcement last year in which Chief Chambers was the guest of honor. I was extremely impressed with her professionalism and knowledge regarding law enforcement. Her energy was contagious. Made me feel proud to be a woman law enforcement officer! If you ask me, we need a hundred more just like her! I admire her integrity and honesty along with the courage to stand up for what she believes in. THE TRUTH!

CA	The Park Service had better get its act together or they will continue to lose good people. This action by the Park Service will do nothing to stem the exodus from the Park Service Law Enforcement Ranks and only solidify the belief that they have no intention of having a professional staff that goes into the field and accomplishes real Law Enforcement. The Park Service does not want a Law Enforcement branch, all they are looking for is a Security Guard Service, someone to look good in uniform but not do anything proactive. The Park Service should be ashamed of itself for the treatment of Chambers and everyone else that wears the badge for them.

MD	Chief Chambers should be reinstated and the Park Service should take a serious look at how they have treated the Park Police. The US Park Police is a vital asset to the Park Service and deserves greater funding and far greater support. It makes no sense that the Park Police are responsible for the safety and security of National Monuments and Memorials as well as the safety and security of the public who enjoys these icons, yet the Park Police is struggling to get properly funded. Secret Service and Capitol Police have a vital function to protect their areas and they get proper funding, but Park Police covers more area and with far less people. They protect all those people who put the President and Congress in place. It seems that the Park Police should be getting the funding and support to protect those people and places as well as if not better than those other agencies.

The fat, complacent bureaucrats have no idea of what they are about to do ~~ leave us wide open for another attack! History has taught us one valuable lesson ~~ to learn, analyze and remember, and not to be concerned with who presented the solution. President Bush said, and keeps saying that everyone has a part in protecting our country, do yours today. I believe that's what Chief Chambers is trying to accomplish. Let her complete the job she has started and we can all sleep safe and reassured.

AZ	As a former Park Service employee, I have been very disappointed to see the difficulties that the NPS has faced due to the current administration's policies.

MD	For decades, the citizens of this Country have been insisting that Police Officers be honest in their dealings with the public, be forthcoming when questioned about the state of their jurisdictions, and tell the truth when bearing witness in our courts. For decades, we have cried that the Police are not always truthful in these endeavors; that they are willing to lie under oath, and otherwise, in order to avoid disciplinary action or seek a conviction after a shaky arrest. Finally, we are rewarded with a Police Chief who consistently tells the unvarnished truth, and she is fired for doing so?!?!?! As citizens of this Country, not only should we not allow this to happen, we CANNOT allow this to happen. Instead, we should take a long hard look at removing the NPS officials who believe that deceiving the American public and scapegoating honest employees is an acceptable manner in which to manage their agencies.

MD	Being a U.S. Park Police wife, I am aware of the of the deplorable situation the National Park Service has put upon the USPP employees, and consequently, the citizens of the United States. USPP is so incredibly understaffed and overworked, especially in Patrol. On most days, there is not enough coverage to compensate for one person calling in sick. This was evident on Thanksgiving 2003, when after one officer call in sick, the Greenbelt station had to backfill the mandatory coverage in DC with one of the two Patrol officers. This left one officer to patrol the Balto-Wash Parkway on the most traveled day of the year. Finally, when Chief Chambers speaks out about condition they're in, she gets reprimanded for it. What kind of people are running the National Park Service? I've known far better management in the fast food business.

It would be short-sighted to ignore pressing security needs related to crime to only focus on actions allegedly making us safer against terrorism.

MD	The level of dysfunction, and seeming lack of integrity, on the part of the organization and apparent throughout a chronological review of these events is troubling, to say the least. Legislators, the public, everyone, should be concerned about any system the culture of which allows actions (and methods) such as those taken with regard to Chief Chambers. Such happenings are usually evidence (symptomology) of an entire department that is 'sick' and typically needs an over-hauling in its leadership.

MD	Teresa Chambers' honesty in reporting the problems the Park Police are having is refreshing. The public has a right to know when our security is threatened. The way she is being treated is deplorable. I hope her case will be fairly reviewed.
MD	It is tragic that so much "lost time" has gone into such a foolish suspension. All this effort and energy could have gone into allowing Chief Chambers to do her job. What this suspension has done is show the world that the "good of the nation" can be held hostage by pride and ego. Do the right thing. Put an end to this needless suspension and let the chief get back to protecting our monuments, our nation, and our national pride! Thank you......

FL	We expect our officials to be honest and forthcoming while doing their duties. I believe Chief Chambers was exactly that. We should not punish her for answering questions that may embarrass executive decision makers. If you are embarrassed that we mandated more duties to the Park Service without the funding then raise the funding, accept donations at the parks. Don't fire someone for doing the best they can under limited resources. If reporters hadn't asked her I am sure she would not have volunteered the information. Enough Secrecy & Punishment. Time for Security & Safety.

I have been involved with this project for 2 years. While not present in the area on 9/11 many of my associates, families were. I realize that my business, family, friends and my life are a target at any given moment. We need to be assured that leaders like Chief Chambers are able to speak out for the support that will protect us. I strongly urge a restoration with no strings attached for Chief Chambers. I am contacting my Senators and Congressional Reps. in both New York and Pennsylvania. I view the pit at least twice a week. Only through firmness of government policing and the establishment of continuous security will we stop the next attack. Chief Chambers is an important part of that program.

MD	It would be nice to see, for once, someone treated by this administration with dignity and honesty.
VA	I am absolutely appalled, but unfortunately not surprised, at the administration's response to Chief Chambers� honesty and commitment to her most important job--the protection of the American people. The monuments this administration sets so much store by cannot, in the greater scheme of things, be compared to the importance and irreplaceability of human lives. They are nothing but SYMBOLS of America. The American people ARE America. God bless Chief Chambers for recognizing the difference and for having the sheer guts to stand up to this vindictive and priority-challenged administration.
VA	This country needs courageous people like you more today than ever before. It takes courage to tell the American Public the truth under this climate that exists in our country today. The people who are doing this to you are cowards and bullies. This is how cowards and bullies in any society operate. They hide behind the mantle of doing the peoples' business. They cause far more harm than good. But, we are a Nation of smart individuals who hold our freedoms very dear to us. We will support those freedoms of which, you are being denied. I have strong faith that you shall be successful! My prayers are with you and your family for you are endowed with God's grace. Be steadfast and know that you are supported by a very aware American Public.

MD	We do not need to look to fiction, such as Orwell's 1984, to find examples of suppression in the world. Iran, China and North Korea come easily to mind. It is dismaying and a little frightening to think of our country in similar terms, but this is a prime instance of a sustained attempt to muzzle an individual who, in good conscience, reports to the public what has been previously stated by her supervisor. Where is this Administration going? I think that our rights as citizens and employees are being eroded, and thoughtful people need to challenge this whenever and wherever it occurs.

Shame on those who have participated in the actions against her. They have not only disgraced themselves, but endangered us all.

MD	It's about time we had an HONEST person in charge. I think the males are jealous of her and threatened by her and that's why they want her out. MORE STRONG, HONEST FEMALE LEADERS ARE WHAT WE NEED!!!!!
MD	I am a college-educated R.N. who lives in suburban Montgomery County, MD. I think that the Chief has done exactly what she needed to do to maintain the safety of the public and to support her officers. I think that firing her is not in the best interests of anyone other than those who wish to hide their respective heads in the sand and pretend that nothing is wrong. Please re-instate Chief Chambers and let her continue doing the excellent job she has been doing under the most difficult of circumstances. / I have been following Chief Chambers' case since it began two years ago. She is a credit to her profession an was an excellent chief. I spoke with several members of her force and know what high regard she was held in by her fellow officers. Over and over, the Bush government has shown contempt for our Constitution and the law. It was only a couple of weeks ago when Chaney told reporters that anyone who disagrees with this administration is a bad American, all but saying we were traitors. I love this country, but the direction it has gone in under the Bush administration terrifies me. Truth, honesty and respect have been tossed away like so much garbage and Chief Teresa Chambers is one of its' many victims. She should be re-instated as head of the Park Service and all the spurious charges should be dropped. Likewise, Mr. German should get his job back. We need to be a country where law is respected all the time, not just when it suits Bush, Chaney, and their close personal friends. Supplement 12-14-07: I have supported Chief Chambers from the start. We need honest officials like the Chief. She is a credit to her profession, to this country, and to her family. We need employees who's concern for the safety and welfare of both her staff and the constituents they serve is paramount and I most definitely hope she gets reinstated. Supplement 10-22-08: This citizens of this great country deserve to have a Park Police Chief of the caliber of Teresa Chambers. The Chief spoke out to protect the public and for that she was fired. Riverdale is a very lucky place to have her, but Chief Chambers really belongs back in charge of the Park Service.

DC	If what Marc Fisher wrote in his January 22, 2004 article is correct, I am ashamed of the current Administration moving wrongfully to terminate Ms. Chambers.
DC	How moronic is it to fire someone who is actually trying to do her job?
VA	Everyone in power needs to start being honest with the american public about the consequences of budget cuts and shortage of funds. Ms. Chambers is being made a scapegoat and is being treated unfairly and unduly harshly. It makes the National Park Service look ridiculous and doesn't address the problems that she was honest in stating. I would rather have a public official be honest about the situation than lie and let unfortunate consequences happen because no one wants to state the obvious.
VA	This is an injustice to an individual who was trying to speak the truth, do her job, and to protect the public. Her boss is the one who should be fired.

MD	Being a police officer in the nation�s capital, I find it appalling that the NPS, would dismiss a natural leader and a true motivator. This is a serious blow to the safety of the citizens of the DC Metro area.
	It is a disgrace for our own government to try to silence whenever it's convenient those who are trying to enforce the laws of our nation.
MD	I think that the treatment of Chief Chambers is a disgrace. We need honesty from our police chiefs, not the political answers to things. The front line police officers need more money, better schedules, more resources/backup, and better support. Don't forget them.
MD	I pray for positive resolution and healing. I pray to move on, focus on mission, and restore U.S. Park Police to the premier organization it once was. I believe Chief Chambers, rethinking some strategies, is the person who can accomplish this goal, this dream, this vision.
VA	Chief Chambers was doing her job. She is the most qualified person to speak out on the needs for staffing the Park Police in the District. If the Bush Administration doesn't want to hear criticism for its shifting police personnel to the Memorials from the Park Service properties in and around the District, maybe it should listen to Chief Chambers and ask Congress for additional staffing. I support adequate police protection for the Memorials. I also support adequate police protection for the other Park Service properties. Why can't the Administration do the same instead of being so thin-skinned?

VA	Chief Chambers stood up for her officers, her legal responsibilities, and for the public her agency serves. It is scary and wrong that when the truth is spoken after years of neglect by DOI/NPS in protecting the public and resources it is mandated to protect, their response is to make her the scapegoat for their ineptitude and neglect. After 9/11 they should do more to support her agency and the mission they have been sworn to complete, not hurt them. At this point the only proper course of action is that they should be called to account for their actions and if mistakes have been made which appears to be evident; then DOI and NPS should be held accountable.

AZ	it seems to me that the NPS, an organization i cherished and served for over 33 years, has gone off the track and may soon crash!
MD	I am NOT familiar with all facts concerning the removal of Teresa Chambers. But, because of my knowledge of the exceptional integrity of a former supervisor of hers while she was a member of the Prince Georges County P.D., I heartily support her immediate reinstatement as Chief of the United States Park Police. (I refer to a Retired Lieutenant, Director of Training PG County, MD)
VA	I support the immediate, unconditional reinstatement of Chief Chambers and an immediate suspension of her boss, Mr. Murphy.
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
TX	This kind of petty retribution against a dedicated civil servant is typical of the Bush administration and the voting public is growing weary of it. Would you guys please grow up?
MD	If anyone should be terminated it's Murphy. He's using the Chief as his scapegoat for all his blunders.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	I retired from the United States Park Police in Jan. 2003 after serving for 30+ years. We have always been undermanned and under-funded but still managed to provide outstanding Law Enforcement services to those that we served. The men and women of the Force are dedicated professionals. The National Park Service provided minimum support to us and made it clear that we were not wanted. I hope something good will come from this misfortunate incident, mainly releasing the United States Park Police from the chokehold imposed on us by the Park Service.
MD	Typical government, shutting people up when they don�t want the people to know the truth or tell the truth.

MD	former Assistant Chief, USPP and former Director, Federal Protective Service
MD	As a 25-year law enforcement veteran, I am appalled, but not surprised, by the actions against Chief Chambers by her supervisor. Ethics and honesty are obviously not in his (Murphy's) vocabulary or part of his values. He could never be a cop and it is shameful that a person like Murphy has any power over a law enforcement agency.
VA	Chief Chambers is an honorable, forthright and outstanding leader and administrator of the USPP, who has been treated abominably by the Interior Department for speaking the truth. She should be reinstated and deserves an apology.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Chief Chambers DESERVES her job, she's not just another politically appointed flunky. Chief Chambers says the truth and stands by it.

VT	I've known Teresa since her young days with Prince George's County Police Department. She worked there with my husband. Teresa was active in St. John's Church with us. You won't find a more dedicated, loyal, caring and honest person around. A terrible injustice is being done to Teresa and the American people by not letting her run the Park Police in the proper manner. What are we teaching our youth? If you speak the truth you will be punished? Get a grip and do the right thing! Let Teresa do the job she should do--protect us properly!

I never understood that the purpose of the Morning Report was to announce Administrative Personnel Actions. I wonder why it was done in this instance?

NC	Dear National Park Service, When a superintendent is arrested, when a manager censors the truth, when a GS-14 position is funded, depriving those funds from the field, and no one can talk about it, you know things have got to change.
VA	I believe Chief Chambers should be immediately reinstated.
MD	Continue the fight with this secretive administration. Supplement 5-19-09: I have know Chief Chambers for many years, and she is honest, intelligent and a wonderful person.
FL	Seems to me that Ms Chambers is being railroaded, tarred and feathered and hung out to dry for the sins of others. Why??? Where is the justice? Is there no justice anymore?
AL	The normal Washington "two step". No one in this administration has the guts to do anything for the people that are working for them. Instead, they blame their own faults on their underlings. God forbid that an underling should have a thought or speak their mind. Keep up the good fight and do not give in to them.

WA	Chief Chambers is one of the most ethical individuals I have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with. I know of other good leaders, but none any better than Chief Chambers. She exemplifies "Principled Centered Leadership". As a police commander in Durham, N.C. she mentored and motivated me to reach higher, be the best and to always do the right thing. Moreover, she stressed this should be done with modesty and compassion for others.

MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

WA	As a sergeant on a major metropolitan police dept. I know the politics that are faced by law enforcement, and how every day another cop pays for poor choices by men and women who are more interested in their own personal goals rather than the good of the people they represent.

CA	Chief Chambers brought accountability and responsibility back to the USPP. As a partner to a USPP Officer, I have seen the degree of despair that she has rescued this agency from. Chief Chambers doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk and stands by her officers. She is a true leader and deserves better. But then again, the NPS has never wanted to recognize crime in the parks, insufficient funding for LE (USPP or rangers) or any inadequacy on the part of upper level staff. They have always been concerned with learning to do more with less. Well, we may have to learn how to do more with less, but we shouldn�t have to be silent about it.

The US Park Police does a much superior job in taking care of its employees than the Park Service will ever close to. Chief Chambers definitely gets my vote and would like to see her reinstated immediately.
NY	As a retired police officer with over 35 years of service in the NYPD, I feel that no individual should be punished until all of the facts have been reviewed by an impartial body, that is not making this part of their personal agenda.

NY	On behalf of the National Latino Officers Association- NYPD Chapter, I fully support the immediate reinstatement of Teresa Chambers as Chief of the United States Park Police.
TX	This is beyond my wildest comprehension. When is this country going to stop and credit the real workers, who behind the scenes get their jobs accomplished, and don't strive to pretend they are doing something they are not. I'm disgusted with the firing of Teresa Chambers, and am asking for her to be reinstated.
CA	Dept of Interior has the worst Civil Rights record among all the Departments. When is Congress and the Senate going to hold Department staffs accountable? Ms. Chambers was not the first Whistleblower to be harmed and her career destroyed. Welcome to the world of many victims, some who do not have the support she has and live in hell every day. Ms. Chambers� reinstatement along with authority and backing to do her job will be a step toward fixing the morass of retaliatory actions aimed at people who have honesty, integrity and a strong desire to serve their country in the arena of public service.
DC	It is my contention that Chief Chambers' honesty is not the issue at all but rather a poignant mirror reflecting the dishonesty on the part of Mr. Murphy. His ego is in the way of his ability to think clearly, as evidenced by the sorely immature attempt to prove the Park Police's inattention to potential terrorist attacks by tossing a trash bag next to the Washington Monument. This is clearly an emotionally immature individual with backing from an entirely too embarrassing and immature administrative unit. May Chief Chambers not only be reinstated but may she also be invited to teach others in law enforcement administration about commitment, devotion to a police force, and putting the cop first. With all my admiration and regard,
MD	As a retired police officer I appreciate Chief Chambers' forthright statement to the public. The "public" is not some stupid illiterate that doesn't deserve to know what is happening. For the most part the "public" are bright and aware and have a need to know what services they are receiving from their public servants and their supervisors. If Chief Chambers violated any of the rules, it was not to the extent that she should lose her job. A written reprimand would suffice.

WA	Thanks to Park Officers like Teresa Chambers, we know the truth. There is nothing wrong with what the chief has said. She is not a hazard to security, she is a beacon for a strong country. I support her 100% and wish that you reinstate her to her position as Chief.
CA	I wholeheartedly support Teresa Chambers and feel she should be given a medal or some other type of positive recognition for her heroic duty to her job rather than the terrible and inexcusable treatment she has received.
AZ	As a retired law enforcement officer who worked alongside of Chief Chambers for over 18 years, I can assure you that she is an honest, hard working and fair command officer. She was not only a coworker of mine, but remains, to this day a true friend. I respect her VERY much. She only speaks the truth and cares for all of us in the law enforcement community. Hang in there Teresa!

Duplicitousness and lying are NOT necessary, and are anathema to effective government, regardless of whether or not it's the government who is doing it.

With the present condition after the 911 incident, she should be given all the available assistance and funding to protect the public, and our national parks and monuments. These monuments are important to our nation, these monuments reminds us of the heroes and locations that made this nation great and show and teach our future children of who we were when we lived in this country.

OH	As a property rights researcher, I have reasons in all fifty states and most foreign countries to value property rights, freedom and access issues. My work also involves inholders, which the National Park Service haughtily considers a 'blight' on The Wildlands Project, which the ever-expanding Fee Lands / Federal landholdings are implementing. To that end, an honest NPS employee is both a breath of fresh air and something to rejoice about. Perhaps we could clone this lady!
NC	I think everyone is giving Teresa Chambers a raw deal. No one wants to admit that sometimes a woman can do a better job than a man, especially in such a high profile position. YOU GO TERESA!!!

MD	Deplorable situation. Reinstate the chief. Wouldn't it be wonderful to believe that the departure of all those advising Mr. Murphy are NOT leaving a sinking ship (as rats do), but leaving because they've caused embarrassment to the agency? But not so wonderful if they were being given the 'option' by the DOI of leaving before being fired? I understand Mr. Murphy to say that the meeting he had with the members of the USPP around Dec. 8 to be ONE OF MANY in the near future - how many have there been since then? SMOKE SCREEN. FORKED TONGUE. And, I fear reprisal from the NPS and DOI...but this needed saying (now, I'm waiting for the shoe to drop)
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	Teresa Chambers should be reinstated to her position, Chief of the U.S. Park Police immediately. She's done nothing to deserve a suspension or dismissal. In addition I believe the rights of other federal employees are in jeopardy. She's been unjustly targeted to lose her job, and any federal employee can be targeted as well.
DC	I'd write my Congressperson if I had one. Good luck. You're being railroaded and the good old boys are driving the train.
MD	As an Officer with the United States Park police, I fully support the reinstatement of the Chief. It's a shame that she has become the scapegoat for the NPS Administration, but the USPP has always been treated unfairly by the NPS when it comes to $$$. Reinstate the Chief and fire Murphy.

OH	I think it is high time accountability was demanded of bureaucrats who would railroad subordinates in this manner. They demand accountability from Chief Chambers, but wiggle out of it for themselves. They'd rather suppress the truth because it sheds poor light on their own activities. An honest bureaucrat need have no fear of truth. Even uncomfortable truths about budgeting problems. Good decisions in tough circumstances require truth as their basis.

CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	The US Park Police has certainly not shown just cause to remove Chief Chambers. What is bewildering is the length of time taken to admit such a mistake. It seems that those in power seem to hide whenever accountability is warranted. Those of us in law enforcement should rise up against politicians who believe that they are smarter at policing than those who police. This whole episode is bizarre and demeaning to cops everywhere.
CA	I am also a Police Chief. Political imperatives should never outrank public safety imperatives. The "Peelian Principles" demand that the police be accountable to the PEOPLE. Of course, the reality is that that the political figures who fired Chief Chambers have never even HEARD of the Peelian Principles, making it even more important to keep politicians out of the police profession. Take her back and evaluate her on her PERFORMANCE.

No attempt appears to have been made here to work with this employee in terms of corrective action.

I support her immediate reinstatement as Chief of the United States Park Police.
OH	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

NC	i am new nps manager and concerned that this level of decision making can be abolishing the service of a dedicated professional, merely for speaking truthfully about budget shortfalls. Does this mean that all NPS leaders must remain mum about the budget erosion at every park and field unit in the system?
CA	The NPS needs new management. Nepotism gone wild.

MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	We need more honest people in our government. That the dishonest are rewarded and the honest abused is a slap in the American public's face.
VA	Honesty should be a top priority in law enforcement even when it is difficult.
MD	You have been treated very shabbily. I certainly hope that you stick to your fight and that you prevail.
MD	As a retired Senior Military Police Officer of the U.S. Army I can understand Chief Chambers� problem and believe she has tried to present & identify problems in the system to Prevent & Protect areas under her supervision and her superiors refuse to acknowledge her warnings. If Chief Chambers were to follow her superiors advice of being silent...then when a situation does occur she would naturally be at fault and be held liable. We have too much of the buck passing and Chief Chambers is ONLY trying to get attention to a growing problem and her superiors want to fault her for their lack of responsibilities.
TX	good luck
NC	I believe that Teresa Chambers should be reinstated. She was doing a great job protecting our parks.
MD	WE both want and need to have the best Chief this agency has had in decades returned to the helm. Enough positive momentum has been lost. The DOI is losing valuable time by not having the leadership of Teresa Chambers guiding the agency. A U S Park Police Officer

MD	I've known Chief Chambers since the late 1970s. She was a P.G. County policewoman in charge of the Police Explorers program that I joined as a teenager. She was a great mentor, and I've always been proud of her accomplishments in her career. Chief Chambers was doing the right thing. Shame on the National Park Service. Reinstate Teresa Chambers as Chief of the United States Park Police.
IL	Seems to me the U.S.P.P. have one of the most challenging jobs in the most challenging of professions, policing. Chief Chambers was just doing her job - doing it well! Standing up for her agency & public safety, & OUR monuments. All too often, higher-ups don't really want the truth - but some sugar coated reassurances -then just hope all goes well, or blame someone else if it doesn't work out. GOD BLESS THE POLICE - DAMMED IF THEY DO - DAMMED IF THEY DON'T!

OH	What a regrettable way to treat such a dedicated park service employee!! The Administration seems to have a unilateral attack policy in place for every situation. This includes threats and attacks on our own public servants when they speak an opinion differing from the "official" one. This administration is supposed to be working for "we" the people. We as a country don't seem to be very good witnesses for democracy. We need to make sure we have our democracy working properly before we attempt to export it to other cultures and countries. Reinstate Teresa Chambers!! Don Murphy needs to be reprimanded for improper handling of this situation.
DC	Thank you Chief, for protecting me and my family by speaking out loud your concerns. It's your job to protect all "Park" visitors. You should be awarded for your untiring efforts to tell the truth. Thank "God" for you.
TN	I for one am sick and tired of hearing about the misdeeds of the Bush administration. Apparently our president is an anti-conservationist and an environment-hater. I only wish that more people knew the truth about what this man is doing to our future, our heritage, our grandchildren. Please, God, save us from Bush.
FL	As a Federal law enforcement manager I have witnessed similar problems. They are rare but there are some unprofessional supervisors that operate beyond their authority for revenge. Fortunately our district does not have to deal with this any longer.
MD	Reinstate the Chief. She works for the people of the USA and the Park Police Officers/Staff. The truth hurts....
MA	The actions against Chief Chambers by the NPS are outrageous and should be stopped immediately. She should be reinstated. I am a citizen and Civil War aficionado devoted to our national parks, especially battlefield sites. I dare say that, could they speak, any of the dead at Antietam or Gettysburg would allow that freedom of speech was something for which they died and a constitutional right which should not be denied members of the organization responsible for the fields on which they fought and bled.
CA	Here is another turning point for the United States. Will the government begin Orwells Minstry of Truth soon or are we going back to a democracy? Re-instate Chambers and publish the minutes of Cheneys Energy Bill meetings! Liars out, Servants in!

Chief Chambers is an honest, energetic, motivated person of great integrity. She brought before the public, important issues that need to be discussed and corrected. Chief Chambers should be commended, not vilified.
CA	Chief Chambers, without a doubt, you are the best chief of the USPP during my career with the agency.
MD	You are continually in my thoughts and I pray all will work out with your reinstatement as Chief of the United States Park Police. All departments should be so lucky to have a Chief who defends her officers like you do.
MD	Chief Chambers should be re-instated and an apology from the Interior Dept for the manner in which they handled this entire incident should be forthcoming.

NC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Since December, 2003, it feels like the National Park Service is dragging us back, due to the delay in making a decision about Chief Chambers. We have been losing all of the advancement that the Force has made since Chief Chambers came here. Does anyone in the National Park Service have any idea what they are doing to all employees of the United States Park Police and all of the additional morale problems that this has caused? As a sworn member of the Force since the 1980's, I have been asking myself, when are they going to be held accountable and required to make a decision? They have spent all this time making decisions on who will be Acting Chief, Acting Deputy Chief, etc. instead of making this decision. I just hope they make the right one and bring back Chief Chambers soon.
CA	I met Chief Chambers during the time of funeral services for my grandson's father, who was a United States Park Police Officer. I am actually looking at her picture with my grandson and other officers as I write this comment. Chief Chambers showed much compassion, which I viewed as genuine, to us as well as to other staff members. I will always remember the moment when my grandson ran to her, that she broke ranks and gave him a hug (with tears). It is time for the Chief to return to work and get things back on track.
VA	My family is behind you 100%. We are very sorry for what has happened to you. We can only hope you are reinstated. Our support is behind you along with our prayers.
NC	I have no faith in the government after the handling of Ms. Chambers situation.
MD	Chief Chambers, we've spoken on many times about your situation. Please know that as much as we are your strength, you are ours. Many people who have been afraid to speak out against the discriminatory, abusive behavior of those in power at the NPS, are now starting to come forward and say they've had enough. Thank you for your courage and determination.
MD	Hello, I feel very strongly that Teresa Chambers should be instated immediately.

AZ	As a decorated and retired member of the Prince George's County Police Department, I wish to express my humble support of Chief Teresa Chambers. This true professional was my first TRAINING INSTRUCTOR from June 1982-November 1982. Her professionalism and personal acumen are "beyond reproach." The injustice being displayed in this matter is morally reprehensible.
CO	Why the delayed action? The obvious answer is you hope the issue will be forgotten/ you apparently enjoy seeing the Chief "twist in the wind." Shame on you Gail and Fran for being so cruel!
MD	Being a police chief for the last six years and being a police officer for thirty-one years prior to that, I think I know what Chief Teresa Chambers is going through as a police chief. Since I've worked with Chief Chambers prior to her being a police chief, she has the utmost integrity and loyalty to the police profession and especially to the officers working under her. I hope that our government and or the officials responsible for this travesty of justice would reconsider their position on Chief Chambers and realize that they made a mistake and they should re-appoint her as the police chief for the U.S. Park Police.
PA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NY	I believe the manner in which this is being handled is a disgrace.

The latest example of this is the "Service level adjustment" junk and the mess at the Statue of Liberty. You are right the citizens have the right to know, and who else should tell them but the leader of the Force. It is time for the DOI/NPS to get their head out of the sand and get over it.

VA	As a forthright, honest, and ethical person who prides himself in professing the truth of any situation, based upon hard facts, I am appalled at the treatment of someone I would consider a �like soul�. Being from South Dakota, I understand the importance of the role of the NPS. With The Badlands, Windcave, and Mount Rushmore National Parks all resident within our state, your role in preserving our environment, heritage, and tourism industry is vital. I am 30 years old with six years in the US Navy Submarine Service, followed by three years in commercial Information Technology. As I have been working since I was twelve years old, I guess I am asking for a nugget of inspiration. I would not want this to happen to any one else. I am certain it will, if any one else has the propensity to tell the unbiased truth about shortcomings in management oversight and project management. When I look at the attempts to stifle you, and also the attempts to blame George Bush for 9/11 attacks, I get disheartened with the David and Goliath fights going on. Why is the tendency to place blame in hindsight so prevalent in our culture today? It permeates politics, government, commercial sectors, just to name a few. In closing, any advice you can give from your respective life experience would be greatly appreciated. I honor your and your fellow officers for serving our country in this particularly treacherous time.

Here is the suggestion from an ex-police officer - ME! Reinstate her now; convene a NON-partisan commission of terrorism experts to determine what is truly needed to protect the things we hold dear and DO IT. Quit screwing around and get this woman back to work doing the things that we taxpayers have invested our hard earned money in training her to do. You people need to get a life and start focusing on the REAL threat!

VA	Albert Schweitzer once wrote "...you who are truly happy will have sought for and found a way to serve..."Chief Chambers has devoted her life to public service. Her commitment to the public she serves is to keep those she is sworn to protect, informed. Are we going to destroy a career of a dedicated professional who has devoted her life to public service, because she announced the painfully obvious? Bureaucratic wars are being waged as Chief Chambers brought to light the need for resources to effectively do her job! Public safety is the most demanding and least appreciated profession. Have you, who have sought her resignation and disciplinary action, already forgotten about the coward terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of so many public safety professionals and civilians? Chief Chambers' duty was to inform, fight, and demand the resources to ensure no bloodshed was waged on her watch!! Stand up and be cognizant of the ridiculous allegations that surround this case. Chief Chambers' record of excellence speaks for itself. It is time to put to rest, the ungrateful sentiment of a few and restore the badge of this honorable and noble professional, who has ....

When we get to the bottom of this finally, it is NOT Chief Chambers who should be disciplined and fired. I think we need to look higher up the food chain.
OH	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
AR	Until a person has to go through this type of "NIGHTMARE" they will never understand the effect it has on your life. I know, I have been there, I was in Law enforcement for 13 years. I was fired from my Jail Administrator job on 1/30/04, I held the rank of Captain. I can not explain the feelings, moods, or thoughts that I had and still have over being wrongfully fired from my job. My story is too long and complex to put here. When I read Chief Teresa Chambers story it made my blood boil, see, I am not and don't know if I will ever get over my ordeal. I have to say, going through this type of situation, it will make a better person out of you chief Chambers, I can say that from my heart, I have been there. I will be keeping up with your situation, you have to believe there will be justice, I tell myself that everyday, it will come one day.

MD	Without dedicated, hard-working people like Chief Chambers, the American people would have no idea where their government's true priorities lie.
NC	I first met Teresa Chambers following a presentation she gave while she was chief of the police force in Durham, NC. I was extremely impressed with her professionalism, her commitment to the many -- and often difficult -- responsibilities she faced, and her sense of public duty. The National Park Service should feel both proud and lucky to have her.
MD	As another public servant, I deplore the actions taken against Chief Chambers by administrators in the US National Park Service. This kind of attitude toward government employees by political appointees and their cronies must end. It epitomizes the disdain, loathing, and disregard this administration has for the people who work for the citizens of the United States. It must end. I wish Chief Chambers all the best in her pursuit of justice and the practice of free speech in the interest of the public she serves.
VA	I have followed this story for a while now, and I ask that Teresa Chambers be reinstated as Chief of the United States Park Police. I believe someone in that position should be able to speak honestly about possible concerns she has, rather than be a puppet.

VA	I am a retired police officer who has worked under many Chiefs of Police. I never worked for Chief Chambers but would be honored to do so. I can't think of any as honorable as Chief Chambers. It's a shame our country punishes honorable, decent people and rewards dishonesty and immorality. I still hope someone will do the only right thing, swallow some pride, admit they are wrong, and reinstate Chief Chambers. It's the only right thing to do. With the way the country has been running lately, I have my doubts if that will occur. Good luck Chief and thank you for your dedicated service to the men and women of law enforcement.
FL	How dare you fire the chief just because she spoke the truth? The Park Police are in dire need of monies. They must be brought up to the 20th century with equipment. Forget the 21st. Even the 20th would be an improvement. Give the job back to the chief with your apologies and reward the Park Police with updated equipment.

Maybe people aren't as unforgiving as we suspect they will be when confronted with bad news (i.e., "We need more money, people, help . . .") Yes, they would ask, "What did you do with the money, people, help we gave you?", but they won't ask, "What else are you trying to hide from us?" My 2 cents.
PA	Our country needs new direction, period.
VA	Chief Chambers, I have heard about your ordeal both through the newspapers . . . I have been through a similar event in the DC government, where I was Chief Medical Examiner for five years before being forced out by people with false claims and agendas. All I can say is that you are correct in fighting this the way you have. Keep being resolute and brave. They have treated you unfairly, and they do not recognize that they are only compounding their errors by being stubborn. I admire you for your steadfast resolve, and I support you fully.
VA	The scary thing to me is that I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. Lack of funding and misuse of funds is rampant in numerous departments throughout this administration. Bravo Teresa for daring to speak the truth!

NC	I have been following this story from the beginning. It is refreshing to see a Chief stand up for what is right and dismiss the politics. As a law enforcement officer, I applaud Chief Chambers for her actions. She is one classy person and should be looked at as a role model by all (especially other Chiefs).
DC	I see no clear wrongdoing on the Chief�s part. She simply sought additional resources and manpower. The park police can protect the parks and deal with local crimes adjacent to the parks, so long as they are acting within their jurisdiction and in accordance to the law. If the Chief had been a White Male Police Chief and made the statements she made, she would not be sitting in limbo. She would be at her job and probably would have been acknowledged for being forthright with the public. There are too many bad cops out there to be picking on 1 good cop! Send her back to work now!
IL	Citizens have the right to know the facts.
IL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	This is just because she has a backbone and didn't kiss ###. Good luck Chief.
VA	hello, even though i�m not in the law enforcement field myself, i hope my comments will still be welcome. i�ve been a friend of the chief�s parents for quite a number of years, so i feel like i know her just as well. i know in my heart you can�t get a better law enforcement official or a better person. if there is anything at all i can do, please feel free to ask. if you�re trying to get a specific total of signatures, feel free to use mine. if there is anybody i can find to add there signature i�ll steer him or her to this sight.
OH	As an American citizen currently working in Canada, I'm continually dismayed by what's happening with this administration, especially with regard to its appalling environmental record as well as its cavalier approach to free speech. Not only do I hope that Ms. Chambers is returned to her position, but I will be doing everything I can to help remove this administration in November. Americans deserve better than they're getting.

CO	I spent 23 years with the United States Park Police and the National Park Service. I was proud then and remain proud of having been allowed to serve both.

Shame! Shame! Shame! Sgt. USPP (ret)
AZ	With their lies and their actions in support of those lies, the Republican leaders of our country, and especially the current administration, have done more to encourage terrorists and endanger our soldiers, our citizens, and our land than Teresa Chambers could ever do by telling the truth.
AZ	When the government fears the truth, it's time to change the government.
OR	I work as Police Officer in the City of Portland, Oregon, and would be proud to have her as my Chief. She is looking out for her troops which is her PRIMARY job, not acting like a idiot "company man". I doubt if a bean counter who told to do more with less is at the nation's park at 300am confronting drunk crowds of teenagers, or worse yet, fights with armed career criminals. Whoever did order her fired, needs to be the one who finally walks the plank.
DC	Obviously Chief Chambers was not suspended for the ridiculous violation of her First Amendment Rights stated. However, it does make you wonder what the DOI, NPS, Secretary Norton and Murphy are really trying to hide, especially with that even more incriminating "Gag Order."
NY	Does Chief Chambers� treatment finally invalidate that saying, "if you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about," as it pertains to the THE PATRIOT ACT? What if the unaccountable individuals using their new found invasion of privacy powers have done something wrong and are using the false pretense of THE PATRIOT ACT to prevent their exposure?
DC	Doesn't Chief Chambers� suspension only further validate the US Park Police problems already identified in the NAPA report such as managerial incompetence and lack of accountability, ESPECIALLY FINANCIALLY!!! Isn't it ironic that she has now become a victim of the problems she was very specifically hired to clear up and was doing a great job at?

What's next? Rangers as mouthpieces for disinformation? Best regards.
AL	If we want to reinstate Chief Chambers and make sure her job is secure, we should vote anyone else into office in 2004 besides Bush. He can't steal an election twice, can he?!
MD	Thank you for being straightforward. I am so tired of people playing political games with our tax dollars, with our national parks, with our military personnel... If even one of them would speak plainly and truthfully about what's going on, as you have, we would have real information and be able to make informed decisions and solve some of our country's problems. Instead, we get spin -- and those who don't spin get the axe. Thank you for taking a risk for truth.
ID	The suppression of honest comments from our nation�s career professionals is an outrage. Changing the words to hide the problems (the Newt approach) is despicable and will only lead to CYA and continued erosion of morale and ever larger problems. My support is for those public employees brave enough and patriotic enough to speak the hard truth and expose issues and problems that need to be addressed, not for those who want to whitewash and pass on the problems to future administrations. To muzzle Teresa Chambers for being honest and forthright is the true crime.
CA	This is a shame on our country.

WI	I am so sick of crap like this happening under bush/chaney/rove. We are losing our liberties, folks - and this is how it starts.
IL	Public safety, environmental concerns and freedom of speech should be more important than politics.
CA	Big Brother Bush Administration must be stopped! Reinstate Chief T. Chambers What happened to freedom of speech and democracy?
CA	I feel that it is disgraceful, how the Bush administration is constantly punishing individuals that voice disagreement with their policies.
CO	Many thanks to Teresa Chambers for her candor and courage in speaking out. And, once again, a pox on the Bush administration for their masterful, narcissistic and egregious opacity. May you be forever haunted by your misdeeds.
OR	The actions of the Bush administration are nothing but shameful.
CA	This is just another disgusting example of how this administration retaliates against someone who speaks out in truth against their policies.
AZ	I fully support Teresa Chambers and would like her to know that in just 7 months she will be able speak out along with all her fellow colleagues on this very disturbing issue. Senator Kerry will be President Kerry.

CA	Please allow Federal employees to exercise their rights to free speech, even when it may not provide for favorable reception of policies that have been implemented and are beyond their control. Paid administrative leave is nearly the same as being laid off, and it is obviously a tactic to both punish Ms. Chambers and to keep her quiet. Thank you for your consideration.

MN	There are two basic issues that the Bush Administration is in violation: First, requiring the Park Employees to lie to the public about budget cuts in park services and issues of air quality. Second, they are restricting free speech without imposing classified status on these subjects. This Administration continuously violates our constitutional rights as American citizens and need to be removed from office.

Supplement 11-26-07: We believe that the National Park Service has wrongfully removed Teresa Chambers as the Chief of the United States Park Police. We believe that federal law enforcement officials have the duty to honestly inform the public of safety issues.

NY	Honesty and truth-telling by citizens, govt. employees and a fair and balanced media are required in order to maintain democracy.

MD	In the private sector people have to fear losing their job for disclosing proprietary information. In the public sector though they work for US. I want the people working for me to speak freely and honestly about the state and the reasons for dissatisfactory service. I was at Great Falls park near DC and they didn't have trashcans! When asked why, because of budget cuts they couldn't afford someone to empty them! Take your trash with you but leave your money. That's the govt's position. If you can't manage it hand it off to the private sector. Capitalism has a way of balancing the budget and getting the job done. Not like this administration.

The media/gov't has done a great job (as usual) blocking access to the truth of what is going on in our country. NOT ONE person I spoke with has heard about what happened or what IS happening with the park service under this administration. The level of secrecy, lack of integrity, openness, and sane policy, and the revolving door policy of this administration is outrageous.

VA	Pres. Bush talks repeatedly about taking responsibility. Here is a government employee who is taking responsibility and providing honesty and she is being punished for it and denied the right to free speech.

CA	The United States Park Service is under obligation to tell the truth to the American people as guardian of our parks and national monuments. For this reason, any self-imposed gag on its public servants is a breach of duty on the part of the parks service and grave misrepresentation by the government.
GA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MT	Secrecy, silence and lies are dangerous to democracy.
WA	We have freedom of speech in this country. It is past time to reinstate Teresa Chambers as Chief of the United States Park Police. She also needs to be given sufficient funds to staff her operations. Perhaps the Bush administration could stop paying exorbitant funds to Haliburton for the unjustified Iraq war and use the tax payers money for projects needed at home like better staffing for our parks!

WA	All government decisions should be fully disclosed to the public. There is no reason a person should be sanctioned for disagreeing.
MA	Honesty should not be persecuted!
NY	Free Speech is a constitutional right, she should be able to exercise it.
WA	It is clear that the Bush Administration identifies enemies as anyone who says anything critical about what is happening at the federal level, domestic or international. Once identified as an enemy, the person's reputation is ruined and professional career is destroyed. Witness Valerie Plame's destruction as a CIA foreign intelligence covert agent as payback for what her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson said about the lack of evidence supporting the Administration's claim that Saddam attempted to purchase yellow cake uranium from Niger. For this administration, truth is irrelevant. The ends justify the means. The means is control of the false image presented through secrecy and lies. Truth telling undermines the means, thus it threatens the goal of unquestionable unilateral action leading to global empire with major corporations determining public policy through the bought politicians, or puppets, they bring to power. Fear is the neocon's sharpest tool and truth is fear's greatest enemy because truth is light and the falseness of fear cannot survive in the light of truth. This is because fear is illusion and truth is reality. There is nothing to fear if truth is available and known. Unless it is the retribution of the fear-mongers. But they live in the dark with their cloud of fear, so pity them while you scorn them. I am sorry for your predicament Chief. I am, however, unsurprised by the actions of these people. Get out the vote in '04. We must get rid of these people. Education/truth is the answer. Fear not - the truth will set us all free.
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NY	Our National Parks are not only part of our heritage but admired the world over. Denying Ms. Chambers the right, provided by the Constitution, to state how she sees things, will lead to more problems in our parks and to a greater loss of our Constitutional Rights.
NJ	If we had more people employed as federal government employees such as Teresa Chambers, we would all be much better off as Americans. We need more honest people like her representing us.
TX	This outrageous action is a result of the cult of secrecy that has been forced on our country by Mr. Bush and his administration, which is the most secretive in recent memory.

CA	I didn't like working with Don Murphy when he was a California State Park Ranger Technician back in the early 1980's. I had no respect for him for what he did when he was Director of the California State Parks. The best thing that ever happened to California State Parks is when Murphy left. Unfortunately, that was very bad for the NPS. Stay the course Chief Chambers.
CA	Of all the atrocious actions taken by the Department of the Interior -- and they are too numerous to list -- the attempt to remove Teresa Chambers as Chief of the Park Service police is among the most despicable. To tell the truth to power is the highest duty that a pubic servant has, and she was simply fulfilling that duty. The administration of the Interior Department has, for the umpteenth time shown its disgraceful lack of fitness to serve the public and should all be summarily dismissed (of course, they will not -- they will probably be rewarded by the Idiot-in-Chief!)

Unless you exercise your vote in November and banish the worst administration we've ever had, you won't recognize the country in the near future.

We met Teresa after our son, Kristopher William Eggle, NPS LE Ranger was ambushed and murdered at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in August of 2002. Kris is now dead because he and his other LE Rangers were allowed to work in extremely dangerous places without proper funding to protect them from the evils that were documented over and over again. Those in positions of power did very little to stop this disaster from happening....it was not a matter of if...it was a matter of when. AND, frankly, it is going to happen again.....not a matter of if.....but a matter of when and where. Standing behind your "troops" is exactly what a leader should do. Chief Chambers has shown exemplary abilities to want and expect what is best for her men and women. Why should this have been a reason to "get rid of her?"

We've been lied to, talked about-all because of the Man in our house...Bush is spreading America way to thin-it's time to deal with Kerry/Edwards, truth not Bush/Chaney's lies and pretend...It's time to clean out our House-start speaking truth from America's mouth...It's time to seal America's fate this 2004-put out the trash, allow new leaders to walk through the White house doors. .It's time for less arrogance, more give-it's time for America to stop being scared...They've lied about this , about that-- it's hard to believe anything as a matter of fact...They pranced back and forth in front of the world lying on TV-showing that good ole boy attitude, for the world to see...It's time to ask for more help in Iraq--share some of this weight on America's back...It's time to bring our young + old home-because staying in Iraq will only leave American Families weak and alone...It's time to seal our own fate this 2004-as we change the future, welcoming Kerry/Edwards through the Whitehouse doors...By: Patricia Robinson 7/7/04--8pm
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MN	It is not okay to sack someone because they tell the truth. Re-instate this very competent, caring and ethical women.
DC	I have read the legal rebuttal of Chief Chambers' legal counsel and am very impressed with the integrity of the Chief's position. This firing is emblematic of the Bush Administration's disregard for the truth and its misplaced priorities in the war against terrorism.
MD	I feel an honest chief of police has been dealt an ugly hand for speaking her piece when she was simply asked a question by the press. I married into an infamous name within the US Park Police, and have respect for the good works of the U.S. Park Police. Chief Chambers spoke the truth and for this she is fired?
VA	As an American, I am concerned about the action being taken by the National Park Service against United States Park Police Chief Teresa Chambers. The National Park Service has proposed termination against Chief Chambers for actions she took to inform the public about critical public safety concerns. The National Park Service is attempting to fire Chief Chambers for educating members of Congress about efforts of the United States Park Police to safeguard our national icons and treasures while protecting the millions of users of our National Parks. The National Park Service is attempting to fire Chief Chambers for identifying and correcting a proposed illegal personnel action against an employee who identified financial and administrative concerns within the National Park Service. The actions of Chief Chambers that are so egregious to the National Park Service are protected under various laws and statutes including the First Amendment, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Lloyd Lafollete Act, the Anti-Gag Statute, and the No Fear Act. As protected actions under these laws, the efforts of the National Park Service to remove her from Federal duty are illegal per the Lloyd Lafollete Appropriation Statute and the Anti-Gag Statute. In December, 2003, the National Park Service offered to drop all charges (which would make one conclude that the National Park Service either felt that there was insufficient evidence to sustain these charges or did not, themselves, believe that they were termination level charges) against Teresa Chambers if she would sign a two-page dictum regarding future behavior. This dictum prohibited Teresa Chambers from communicating with the media or Congress without prior approval and consent of the National Park Service Deputy Director in each instance. Again, this directive violates the above laws and statutes. The National Park Service has attempted to defame Teresa Chambers by leaking incorrect or partial information to paint her as incompetent or defiant. Each leak has been accompanied by a public release of the "full story� to rebut these charges. In effect, the National Park Service has seriously damaged its credibility, and the only reasonable conclusion is that a significant cover-up is being conducted. As an American, I am calling upon you to act immediately and call for an official investigation into the illegal actions of the National Park Service. I urge you to consider the Lloyd Lafollete Act and Appropriation Statute that states that federal funding can not be used to pay the salary of any person who violates the rights described above and that no federal funding may be used to take personnel action against a person who has acted under the above rights. I urge you to call for an independent investigation into the charges against Teresa Chambers by an outside agency that has not shown the bias against her that the National Park Service has shown. Further information regarding Chief Chambers' response to these spurious charges may be found at www.honestchief.com. I look forward to hearing your response.
VA	I would not think that it would take a genius to think that this sector of government would be underfunded.
MD	The "Agency" that decides to make up their own rules in violation of Federal Regulations will, at maximum, get a slap on the hand, and then again and again go back to their illegitimate ways of "managing" their "pee-ons". I similarly have numerous accomplishments/ longevity, but do not fit the mold, and therefore, I am being forced to retire. NOTE: A recent Supreme Court decision favored the employee who was forced to retire because of government illegitimate actions: Pennsylvania State Police v. Suders, 124 S. Ct. 2342 (2004).
AZ	As a retired MPDC official I disagree with your decision to fire Chief Chambers for telling the truth. Shame on all of you.
WA	It has become the status quo with this administration that the truth is punished and lies prevail!
MS	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	I applaud Chief Chambers for her integrity and honesty along with the courage to stand up for what she believes in. I speak as a former long-term DOI employee (science info, not law enforcement) and an informed citizen. I support REINSTATING CHAMBERS and rewarding, not penalizing, her actions. The DOI actions are not surprising but terribly sad.
MD	Chief Chambers is being railroaded out. As a Major on the Prince George's County Police Dept., and Commander of the Hyattsville District Station, she was one of the finest Officers I've ever met.(retired).
AZ	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Teresa Chambers and I have experienced the same type of treatment. My case has also been submitted to MSPB on June 29th with a request for stay.
NY	The Truth shall set us Free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TX	It's been repeatedly made crystal clear to career govt employees that anything other than falling in line or even hinting that things aren't 100% positive are grounds for dismissal followed by a smear campaign against a whistle blowers character. We are losing our freedom of speech and our sense of morality in govt & big business. At least try to follow "The Golden Rule".
FL	This is outrageous and frightening. Just like the translator from the State Dept who blew the whistle on lousy translations, this firing reeks. To remind those in power: America is a Republic. The people own this country, not you Commissars!! Reinstate this woman immediately!!
DC	This is a gross miscarriage of justice. She deserves a medal, not what she has gone through!
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
Italy	You can just tell that Police Chief Chambers is EXACTLY what this country needs more of: totally honest, dedicated faithful public servants. Of course she was rejected by the system because it is the antithesis of what she stands for. I am totally disgusted with the Bush Administration - it just gets worse and worse. Hopefully the clock will run out on November 2. You have no idea how lousy is the feeling of lack of pride of being an American living overseas. Our specialness of being from the United States is gone, even in a fairly friendly country like Italy. It will take a while to restore it. What a shame.
VA	The Bush administration must be stopped from destroying the livelihood of individuals who speak the truth.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
WI	I am 100% on your side, and believe that the Interior Dept. is doing our country great harm. Stay the course, and give this anti-environment bush cabal hell - as I will continue to do. November is almost here. Sincerely, Green Bay, W.
CA	Teresa is being railroaded - being put out because she's a women and it has to stop. It happened to my daughter who worked for State Police and the only woman. They would not give up until she finally did. If it were me I would have stuck in there. My ex was the Asst. Chief in Wash., DC that told her the same but Teresa.........Keep The Faith. I'll be very loud.:)
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
IL	Good luck. I work in State government and come across similar situations regarding budget cuts affecting how we will respond to bioterrorism. It's a shame that the senior management, state legislature and governor are more interested in how things look in the media as opposed to their concern about supporting the middle managers who are responsible to get the job done.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
IL	I am a retired Air Force member, have a master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering, held a Top Secret-SBI clearance (1990), and can't get a job. Oh, and my last job: Motorola - "Principal Staff Software Engineer" - software quality assurance - specializing in risk analysis of software. If you think the physical security of US assets is in jeopardy, hold on to your hat and take a look at www.d50.org.
VA	Whatever happened to the First Amendment ..Free Speech. The Chief was absolutely right in telling the American people what resources she needed to help keep us safe. She should get a medal for her efforts, not her walking papers. Shame on the Interior Department. We want her back and she should get an apology.
WI	Chief Chambers deserves to be reinstated. Honesty should be a requirement for all people serving our country.
WI	Chief Chambers is an upstanding representative of our government agencies. Other officials need to take hint and take warning in that good people will stand up for what they believe in. Chief Chambers should be commended, not condemned for being upfront and honest about problems in her department. Honesty is lost in bureaucracies and Chief Chambers is only trying to restore open, effective communication with the public. You have my full support.
FL	From what I have read about Police Chief Chambers' actions and statements, she was justified in going public. Thank you for doing your job and trying to inform and protect the public.
NY	Please continue to do all you can to expose the damage Bush is doing to our National Parks. Thank you.
WA	An obvious abuse of power by Don Murphy against a competent, caring chief. Perhaps the Federal Courts will overturn this travesty. DOI can save money by terminating Don Murphy.
MD	I think that Chief Chambers got royally screwed by the goddammed Republican administration. Hopefully, they'll be driven out of office in November.
MD	The fish guy who wrote the letter of termination had better be careful driving to work through my beat.
MD	This appears to be a purely political move. The President stated in his political campaign that he supported the National Park System. He also needed to appear strong on law enforcement for his current campaign. When Teresa Chambers said that the emperor had no clothes she had to go. This administration has been about image over fact since its beginning. Good luck to Teresa.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
AZ	This is why the truly talented people avoid government service.
CA	I will share this story, follow up, and do as much as possible so that the chief will be returned to her rightful position. What a farce! I'm an outside sales rep., in a male dominated industry, and unfortunately there continues to be the "ol' boys club," mentality. My niece is 21 y.o., and I hope in her lifetime she will realize a change for women.
NC	No dissenting voice should be punished, whether or not the administration agrees with the opinion - we need diverse opinions and open discussion.
VA	I'm totally appalled at the DOI's action. Some there should be fired!
MD	Keep up the Good Fight, Chief Chambers! We're rooting for you!
DC	It is a sad day in this nation's history that someone would lose their livelihood for living out the First Amendment. I believe Ms. Chambers did what was needed to be done for the safety of the Nation's Capitol and for us the residents. Some people need to remove themselves from the Ivory Tower.
NV	THIS IS THE HITLER ATTITUDE OUR PRESIDENT STANDS BY ANYMORE. I�M SORRY ABOUT YOU BEING FIRED IT�S THE MEDIA CONTROL BY GOV AND IT�S NOT REALLY FREEDOM OF SPEECH ANYMORE>BUSH IS TEACHING THE YOUNG TO BE RUTHLESS VERY AGGRESSIVE AND MOST OF ALL EVADING QUESTIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT HE IS OBSESSED AS A PRESIDENT AND HE DON�T LISTEN TO ANYONE ANYMORE JUST COVER UPS AND MORE COVER-UPS BYE DUCK TAPE AND ALL THE BULL ABOUT THE REAL TRUTHS IN NY ABOUT THE TRADE CENTER SOME DAY THE FACTS WILL COME OUT AND HOPE ALL THAT SUPPORTED BUSH WILL LEARN A GOOD LONG LESSON ,,, , GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FIGHT AND DON�T EVER GIVE UP YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH THE PATRIOT DID MOST OF IT FOR USE ,,,
NV	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	It does not surprise me that this administration would take such actions against Mrs. Chambers. She has my support and I would like to thank her for speaking up.
NV	WHEN YOU POINT THINGS OUT AT WORK AND BEING THE MOST HONEST WILL GET YOU FIRED. IF U SPEAK OUT ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT YOUR A TERRORIST. IF U VALUE TRUTHS AND NOT LIES YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED. DON�T GIVE UP THE FIGHT FOR BEING HONEST I HAVE DONE A LOT OF READING NOW AND WHAT SHOCKS ME ARE THE GOOD PEOPLE BEING REPLACED BY CORRUPTION LIES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF USA I TEACH MY GRANDKIDS TO TELL THE TRUTH AND GIVE YOUR JOB ALL YOU CAN GIVE NOW I FEEL LIKE SAYING NO JOB IS SECURE IN AMERICA IF YOU SPEAK OUT AND TELL THE TRUTH
IA	When a government employee steps forward with information important to our republic they should be honored. As a member of the Republican party I feel sick with responsibility for the incompetence of this administration in so many areas. The response to the Chief's thoughts goes beyond incompetence to dishonesty with a reckless regard for America's security.
VA	I was a senior executive and research scientist in DOI and other agencies. This action against Chief Chambers is atrocious.
MD	My appreciation to the Chief for both her efforts over the years and for her (necessary, but still valiant) stand against Mr. Murphy and the Bush administration treatment of her and the Park Police. I am sure Chief Chambers will come out of this stronger and more respected, but I fear for the fate of our Park Police and the work they do. (Posted after the announcement they fired Chief Chambers).
CA	The NPS is the worse ever organization and will use lies and strong arm tactics to harm innocent people.
IL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
	Ask the Department of Interior for a financial report to show the country where the money is going. Now that we are at war we need our park police more than ever. I support the war but I also think we need to be prepared on the home front.
MD	This unfair treatment of Chief Chambers is a perfect example of how and what mean spirited partisanship can do.
VA	I am a retired police officer and just want to express my support for Chief Chambers. It is a pity to see she is being punished for her honesty and integrity. I hope that the "system" will eventually reverse its decision and recognize that we need more Police Chiefs of the caliber of Ms Chambers.
VA	I think that it is a crime that this lady lost her job for speaking out as a concerned public official.
UK	You can add my name to the cause. If you have been removed from office in the way stated I find that incomprehensible. I retired from Staffordshire UK Police with the rank of Detective Chief Inspector and can honestly say that such outspokenness by a police chief would not have attracted such harsh punishment. I wish you well and hope that things work out well for you. Regards.
NC	I am proud to add my name publicly to this petition. The condition of our entire National Parks program, of which the Park Police is a division, is scandalous. To fire someone for pointing out glaring problems is, simply, the wrong way to deal with the problems.
MD	Since the first article appeared about this outrageous episode, I immediately contacted my Maryland Senators and will again.
MD	Teresa, Honesty always wins in the end. Stay strong and give 'um hell.
MD	After reading yesterday's news article and the response from the communications liaison you can put a spin on many things and situations. Money is always earmarked for certain things and cannot be used for things such as manpower etc. Therefore Ms. Chambers more than likely didn't have the money available for staff etc although there may have been money for travel etc. Furthermore, Ms. Chambers also lived through 9/11 and the election of the current President and did very well as did the current Acting Chief has just done so I don't understand what one has to do with the other! I think as long as we continue to use double standards women will have more challenges and situations as this. I am very disappointed with the fact we have a woman in charge of DOI and she allows things like this to happen to someone she also approved and a fellow sister. I'm with you Ms. Chambers. Make these people pay!!!
MD	I have personally known Chief Chambers for many years and find her to be of the utmost professional character, and I believe she acted only out of concern for the safety of the men and women serving as U.S. Park Police Officers, and the citizens of and visitors to the United States of America. She should be apologized to and reinstated to Chief of the U.S. Park Police, and her findings reviewed and acted on for the safety of everyone concern.
VA	FREEDOM - the big buzz word in the current administration. And yet a government employee cannot ask what he/she thinks is best for that agency.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
PA	I served with the D.C. Police Department for 28+ years and find your termination unjustified. You were looking out for the welfare of your officers, as well of the citizens, when making your comments.
MD	on your side 100 %
CO	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
TN	I am not surprised that you have been "gone after" for speaking the truth. As you sadly discovered, that is looked upon favorably by this administration. Hang in there and keep fighting!!!
CT	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
DC	Keep at it - you will prevail.
VA	I have heard others in government make comments in the same vein and they were not fired. I do not agree with Teresa Chambers' firing. It is a threat to the freedom of speech and, as I see it, politically and sexually motivated. To fire someone who is doing her job in the midst of the "war on terrorism" for stating that her department needs funding and personnel is plain wrong. Such firings do not contribute to an effective effort. If Chief Chambers did not speak her mind how would we know of the problems?
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NY	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
AL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	I am in law enforcement myself. It is a sad day in America when the person in charge cannot speak out about needed improvements to protect us more effectively. This kind of law enforcement culture is why we encounter problems today with intelligence, etc.
MD	Chief Chambers had an outstanding history as a Prince George's County Police Officer. It is gratifying to see a chief who is not afraid to speak the truth and stand up for her troops. The National Park Service should reinstate her immediately.
NY	This attack on Chief Chambers is just a partisan attack on a forceful woman administrator who stands up for her workers. She needs to be reinstated with compensation!
SC	Chief Chambers is a true hero and I applaud her courage in standing up for what is right. I am very disappointed, but not surprised at the "political" treatment from people at Interior whose "EAA" principle means more to them than the safety of my fellow police officers and the security of our national monuments. By the way, "EAA" stands for Ego, Arrogance, and Ambition. I have been through something like this in my career and all I can tell you is that I ultimately won the war, but sure as hell fought many battles over a three (3) year battle to do it. You WILL prevail! Have patience and faith. Remember, you are right and good and they are....well..... What goes around comes around, if you know what I mean. Best Wishes and Good luck. Supplement 5-19-09: Retired Police Detective, supporting Chief Chambers from the beginning. The thin blue line supports you.
NY	I think this was a big mistake, Chambers was doing a great job. And I am behind her all the way.
MD	Can't understand a person losing their position over stating true facts! Many other agencies have declared being understaffed and underfunded and have kept their staff intact! What's the difference with this lady stating the true facts?! Reinstate this employee immediately!
VA	I am a police officer for a Northern Virginia agency and have had the opportunity to meet Chief Chambers. She is an outstanding example of a chief, and of a woman officer.
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
PA	The Bush 2000 campaign claimed it was going to pick up the backlog of work for our National Park Service. As with any other issue, what our President endorses, usually gets squeezed by budgetary wrangling. Mrs/Ms. Chambers brought this embarrassing fact to the administration and they blushed. So they fired her. She should sue the federal government under some 'whistle-blower' clause and get her job back. The federal (and state) government in this country rewards back scratchers and slackers and fires people with any interest or zeal of their job. It's time we all stood up and patted the good public servants for their jobs well done and fire the slackers!
MD	Dear Chief Chambers you were doing your job plain & simple, I support you all the way
MD	The suspension and firing of Chief Chambers represents yet another example of the Bush administration stifling reasonable debate concerning its policies and actions. I trust Chief Chambers with the security of our national parks and monuments!
	Sunshine is the best disinfectant [as the Supreme Court Justice said] so hold their feet to the fire. Information is being suppressed, and thank goodness for a free and[somewhat] aggressive press. However, how independent and aggressive can the press Really be when owned by Media Giants who can decide what gets covered and/or printed.
PA	Shame on the park service for attempting to gag public servants like Teresa.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
IL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	This smells like a government railroading to me. I believe that Chief Chambers should be immediately reinstated, that her allegations must be thoroughly investigated by a government agency outside of, and with no ties to, Interior, and that the people responsible for this travesty against a whistleblower be disciplined as appropriate pending the outcome of the investigation.
MD	Termination of this woman is down right insane. The fight must continue until she is reinstated.
VA	The cowardly bureaucrats (not a compliment) who fired her are the ones who should be fired. This whole affair has been handled by the Dept. of the Interior in a disgusting and shameful manner.
AL	Thank you for risking your livelihood to expose the continuing corruption of the Bush White House. I know you will be re-instated by President Kerry's White House.
PA	I find the current administration's policy of quashing free distribution of non-sensitive information abhorrent. The firing of Ms. Chambers appears to be indefensible and wrong.
VA	I am very proud to support Chief Teresa Chambers as Chief of the National Park Service. She is a role model to law enforcement and to her country. She MUST be reinstated immediately.
NJ	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
IN	If we allow non-political officials to be fired for political reasons, we will lose critical expertise, and in some cases prevent even the possibility that the official in question can carry out his or her duties.
DC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CA	A foolish and petty act by members of this administration, this is only another example of why honest, qualified, citizens are reluctant to involve themselves in what should be the least politicized parts of our civic life.
NC	Teresa is a victim of the anti-environment Bush administration. I know her work from when she was Durham police chief, and she is an outstanding leader and was very highly regarded in Durham.
CA	Give this woman back her job and fire her boss for having such bad judgment.
NY	We have the same problem in the State of New York. More is required with less resources.
PA	There is much too much muzzling going on. Corruption and ignorance love the dark.
VA	I heard the WTOP interview and thought it was very well done, not inflammatory on her part in any way, just simply stated, not exaggerated. A simple response to a question asked by the interviewer. The DOI response to this is totally inappropriate
OH	THIS ADMINISTRATION ALLOWS NO TRUTH TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT ANY SUBJECT. THEY ARE NOT PERFECT BUT DESPERATELY WANT TO APPEAR TO BE.
MD	I cannot help but think that if Ms. Chambers were black and playing the "race card" non of this would be happening. Or, if she were a man this might "go away" Because she is a strong white woman and probably a conservative.....she is in trouble.
SC	As a professional police officer and FOP member I find it disheartening that a chief with the integrity of Teresa Chambers has been terminated by bureaucrats.
CT	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NJ	I remember Chief Chambers when she was in charge of DPD. She did a great job, she is getting the shaft and it's not right!
MD	What the NPS has done to you should not go unpunished, and I look forward to the day when impartial authorities return to those responsible for your mistreatment the career halt they have coming!
CO	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NY	She should be re-instated without delay.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	This is a travesty! Reinstate Teresa Chambers.
VA	Let's keep honesty & integrity in this office by immediately reinstating Teresa Chambers as Chief of the U. S. Park Police. She has proven her worth through her many years of service & does not deserve this treatment.
AZ	It is beyond comprehension that the DOI/NPS has been allowed to harass, malign and then fire an honest employee with an impeccable career, who has the integrity and dedication to her job to tell the truth. This leads me to only one conclusion�the Bush administration is devoid of common decency and integrity. This case is not about one person, Chief Chambers� case has far reaching implications and is key to �1) Protecting the free speech rights of all federal employees and citizens; 2) Securing the rights of public servants to communicate honestly with Congress; and3) Ending the bullying tactics practiced by the political appointees by guaranteeing due process for all federal public servants.. 4) Homeland Security and National Park and Monument safety; Supplement - 1-15-08: Teresa: Congratulations! You are a steller role model of integrity and dedication to uphold the truth. Thank you for being a guiding light in a sea of murk. I wish you well in your new job and you will prevail with your on-going case. Best Regards.
VA	What has happened to Teresa Chambers is a travesty. She has brought to light real concerns and she is being punished for that. We need more people like her in the government and fewer like the ones who are fighting to silence her.
WA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
AZ	Firing her was wrong. At most, they should have just talked to her about her comments. The ironic thing is I still haven't seen any facts disproving her statement.
NJ	This situation goes against the president's claim that he is doing all he can to make America safer. He will not get my vote in November.
OH	Teresa Chambers shouldn't be removed because she really cares about parks and is honestly trying to keep them healthy for all to enjoy.
NC	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
CO	Chief Chambers is a role model for ALL public servants. Doing what is right rather than what is politically correct. Every department in the nation needs and deserves a chief like her! I hope she NEVER gives up the fight nor change her philosophy.
MI	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
IL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NY	Don Murphy, Inc. are the ultimate idiotic bureaucrats. Sorry you have to experience this. Remember our forefathers had to fight for freedom. You represent another generation which continues to fight for rights/freedom/integrity... These things are lacking in the minds of the people that are trying to get rid of you. Take care and may God bless you.
NV	You might want to look into why specific park superintendents in the Pacific West Region, such as J.T. Reynolds of Death Valley National Park, have not been treated the same as you. They have made similar statements in the newspapers in California. I believe they were in the Fresno and Santa Barbara papers. Best of luck in dealing with them. I have worked for NPS for 6 years after 30 years in other agencies. If you are not born into the park service you are always treated as an outsider. Wishing you the best.
FL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
DC	Her issues are the issues of many US govt. agencies and its about time that something is said and by continuing her support maybe something can be done about the problem.
NY	This is yet another example of this administration attempting to silence anyone who dares question them.
PA	Chief Chambers CARED enough about "Serving and Protecting ". She should be promoted - not fired -for bringing honesty to the privilege of Government service.
MS	ANY COUNTRY THAT FAILS TO PROTECT ITS BORDERS AND CITIZENS, DESERVES TO FAIL TO EXIST.
MD	I knew the chief when she was a patrol officer for PG County as a member of the Allentown Road VFD, would be there on accidents or other medical calls when the police were required.
IL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
AZ	This is not RIGHT and you should reinstate Teresa Chambers as Chief of the United States Park Police immediately. Remember this is the United States of America.
WA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Chief Chambers, I am proud of you for "staying the course" as President Bush might say. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
FL	I have been a police officer for the past 15 years, and as a female in law enforcement this is not surprising to me. From what I've read Chief Chambers has integrity, something in my opinion most upper level police administrators lack. This Country needs more Police Chiefs like her. The City of Daytona Beach needs a Chief like her. Chief Chambers you have my support, and I hope it all works out for you.
MD	I have known Teresa for almost 25-30 years as an honest and professional police officer, both in Prince George's County, MD and in Raleigh, N.C. and have also followed her career in the Natl Pk Svc. There is something grossly wrong with our system when an officer of this caliber gets the raw deal that she did. There is something grossly wrong with the people who made the decision to let her go. Would that same group have let her go if there was an incident and she had NOT told the government that her organization was short handed and ill-equipped for a terrorist disaster?
MD	I have known Teresa since before she first began her training at the PG County, MD. Police Academy. Her rise through the ranks of the PGCPD, as well as her highly successful career in Durham NC were only to be expected. She is still extremely highly regarded in the PGCPD for her ethics, ability to relate to her subordinates and superiors, and for her professionalism. As an elementary school principal, I had the opportunity to interact with a number of police officers, active and retired, who had worked with her and had nothing but superlatives to say about Teresa. It was widely believed that she should have been appointed to the Police Chief's position in the county. She was a gung ho cadet and has excelled throughout her career. Her honesty and integrity are not to be denied - her willingness to speak the truth are indicative of these qualities. The Bush Administration has done itself and the country an enormous disservice by terminating her as the National Park Police Chief.
AZ	This is wrong. We need more people that will tell the truth. We need more Law Enforcement and we need more money. We can only do so much with so little.
MD	Honesty in government should not be a punishable offence.
NJ	I am familiar with the facts regarding the attempted removal of Teresa Chambers as the Chief of the United States Park Police. I believe that the National Park Service has wrongfully attempted to remove Teresa Chambers as the Chief of the United States Park Police. I believe that federal law enforcement officials have the duty to honestly inform the public of safety issues. I support the immediate reinstatement of Teresa Chambers as Chief of the United States Park Police.
PA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	I support Chief Teresa Chambers reinstatement to the U.S. Park Police 100 percent.
NH	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	Fight them to the end Chief.
TN	Reinstate Chambers, bolster the USPP. It's time for the NPS and DOI to realize we live in a dangerous word. Evil doers commit evil acts in our parks. We DEMAND protection from crime and terrorism. NOT more money to plant flowers and conduct tours!!!
PA	This woman is being persecuted and should be entitled to the same protection private persons enjoy under 'whistle-blower laws'. We cannot silence those who tell the truth. The public has a right to know.
OH	To WITHHOLD information (as did the NPS Director in telling Congress that her agency was doing OK financially!) is the dismissible offense, not honesty. Reinstate Chief Chambers. Reward honesty.
NY	I am a NYPD Detective give my full support Chief Teresa Chambers. We must stand together and stop the injustice pressed upon our fellow americans in law inforcement.
IN	There are people who do the popular thing then there are people who do the right thing. Chief Chambers are one of those who do the right thing.
MD	After reading the decision by the MSPB AJ, I came to the following conclusion. The NPS, in its arrogance, simply refuses to see the forest for the tress. The officials, in their arrogance, refuse to understand it is much less costly, both in time and financing to take appropriate actions one time, rather than try to prove a point through extreme inappropriate actions. While the AJ stated that your actions did not rise to "whistleblowing", she did not say the actions were not correct. I believe this action provides a window to correct any misconceptions on the part of the AJ through the depositions. Be careful though, because you are dealing with a civil personnel system, there is much more room for "interpretation" and a decision may have already been made.

AR	I am a former National Park Service employee. After working for that organization for only three years, I was shocked at the lack of ethics the organization had. It was especially disturbing since the NPS is supposed to be the premier land protection agency in the world. I have been following this story for some time now, and I am not surprised at the treatment that Chief Chambers has received. I wish her the best of luck in resolving this injustice.
FL	"The board's jurisdiction to order a stay of a personnel action is limited to personnel actions allegedly based on reprisal for whistleblowing," Bogle wrote in the ruling. "The Whistleblower Protection Act is not a weapon in arguments over policy, or a shield for insubordinate conduct." THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Who IS this judge??? By this statement, it appears you have already been convicted ("for insubordinate conduct") before ever being tried!! Just what kind of "WHISTLEBLOWING" does the WPA cover??? Do you actually have to blow the whistle on someone who is caught committing a CRIMINAL ACT? Well, then BLOW THE WHISTLE AGAIN!!! Even if NPS' failure to prioritize Park Police requirements -- and their misuse of appropriated funds -- is NOT considered 'criminal', CERTAINLY their treatment of you and the crude manner in which your dismissal was carried out are BLATANTLY CRIMINAL!!! You should go after those sleazeballs from every angle possible: What about the violation of your rights to 'Due Process', 'Freedom of Speech', basic respect???? They have violated every tenet of human decency! "limited to personnel actions allegedly based on reprisal for whistleblowing," Well, aren't you 'alleging' that the 'personnel actions' taken against you were based on 'reprisal for whistleblowing'??? Someone needs to investigate this judge with her 'narrow' interpretation of the law. Is this another Bush administration political appointee?? I hope someone in the Kerry campaign latches on to this and calls them accountable. THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!!!
CA	I am a manager with the USDA. I have worked with the DOI/NPS for 29 years. I have seen this kind of treatment before and it disgusts me. To quote previous secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman, "Ultimately, for any policy or process to work, we have to treat each other with decency and respect, seeing past each other�s differences. How we treat each other defines who we are." (USDA News VOLUME 59 NO. 5 � JULY-AUGUST 2000). The DOI could obviously learn a great deal from the USDA. The above statement by Secretary Glickman is something all Federal employees need to think about, and practice. Unfortunately those who need to learn from that statement are least likely to read it. And Secretary of Agriculture Mike Espy was falsely accused of wrong doing within USDA, who fought and was cleared of all charges, said at the press conference announcing his vindication, "Sometimes you just have to stand up to the bullies". I think that statement applies in this case. I hope Chief Chambers can withstand the ordeal she must go through to fight for her vindication. But we must stand up against the bullies. The USDI has so much to learn about how to treat people, especially its own people. The NPS is such a great agency with so much good relations with the public. And yet, in case after case, NPS management treats its employees very poorly. And here it is the year 2004, and it still goes on. When will it ever change? The U.S. Dept. of Interior should be ashamed of itself as a whole. Overall the management of the USDOI and the NPS is an embarrassment to the United States, an embarrassment within government, and a failure as human beings. This is just one of many examples. This isn't the only person being treated poorly. And no, I'm not one of them. I wouldn't work for USDOI if it was the last place to work on earth.
MA	I am outraged about the treatment given to Chief Chambers. The officials in the Department of the Interior will regret the day that they fired this woman. Is there any doubt that eventually the courts will rule in favor of the Chief and that the "no nothings" at Interior will be terribly embarrassed.
TN	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
PA	What kind of government is this that can't handle honest criticism from its employees? Here is a person trying to make the National Park Service better and they want to fire her because she spoke honestly to the public. What has happened to freedom of speech is this country?
NV	I am appalled by the Bush administration's treatment of Chief Chambers. The Chief should be reinstated immediately.

MD	The same thing happened to Col. Billy Mitchell between WWI and WWII he was right also. When will the so called leaders learn to listen to the people in the trenches that know what is going on and what is needed to protect this great country. Chief Chambers keep fighting for us all; God and a lot of good patriotic Americans are on your side. The world needs more people like you; I'm proud to say you are truly one of my heroes. You are standing for your troops and country against narrow minded but politically powerful idiots that would rather sell us all out rather than admit they were and are wrong and you are right. All good people should stand by you, and with you as you are standing for us.

MI	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
NY	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	I am a former USNPS Ranger and worked closely w/the Park Police. I've seen both sides of the force and believe Chief Chambers is being railroaded. Chief Chambers knows her job and responsibilities and rightfully demands the resources to achieve those responsibilities. I support her abilities and her actions 110%.
VT	Unfortunately, what is being perpetrated upon Chief Teresa Chambers is all part of what has become the pattern and practice for the Bush administration in dealing with its dissenters....destroy them at all costs.
DC	"Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law, it invites every man to become a law unto himself. It invites anarchy.� (United States v. Olmstead, 277 U.S. 438 (1928).

WI	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
KS	just as teachers are responsible to inform and make their students aware of security issues and practices for their own safety so also should federal law enforcement officials have the duty to honestly inform the public of safety issues; nor should their job be threatened or taken from them for carrying out those duties.
MD	Hang in there Chief. United We Stand!
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
OH	As a Retired Air Force Officer with a son now who returned from Iraq and will soon be going back to Iraq in 2005, my family is extremely concerned that the NON-PARTISAN leaders of our First Responders such as Chief Teresa Chambers has been clearly railroaded by PARTISAN political appointees of ANY Presidential Administration for pointing out shortcomings in Homeland Security so soon after September the 11th, 2001. Because she would not remain quite on a subject that this administration touted having control over and making us SAFER, it is clear to my family that these political appointees bureaucratically retaliated against Chief Chambers. It is this kind who support the Troops, the Veterans, our First Responders with words and STAB THEM IN THE BACK if they don't go along with this President's administration's policies that made Vietnam wind on for over a decade taking thousands of young lives with it. Also as a retired Civil Servant on disability retirement, who had worked in the Intelligence Research field for over 30 years. The actions of these clowns questions my intelligence and every "intelligent" U.S. civil servant employed by the Federal Government. Shame on the Office of Special Counsel for letting this travesty go on for as long as it has. Reinstate Chief Teresa Chambers NOW and expose the cronies of the Bush Administration in the Department of the Interior for the lax Security the Chief tried to correct.
MA	Chief Teresa Chambers is a person of integrity and is one of the finest law enforcement officials in the United States. Reverse this wrongful termination at once.
IL	We should support honest, professional, dedicated persons such as Teresa Chambers. Honest feedback is important to honor and to welcome in our society.
VA	Chief Chambers has a right to fair comment. She has a legal duty to report mismanagement to a responsive level.
CA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	It's so refreshing for a government official to actually tell the truth and show courage. Instead of firing her, lets promote her!!!
NJ	Chief Chambers has put the safety and security of the public above all else. She has acted professionally and properly. She is a shining example of a law enforcement officer who takes her oath to protect the public as a sacred trust.
NY	When people ask why/how 9/11 happened, all they have to do is read this case. Upper management claims of being afraid to discipline workers is a bogus claim used to push for more power to abuse. Chain of command claims are an overused canard used to cloud the real issues of whistleblowing on fraud, mismanagement and waste. For upper management in DC going outside the chain of command (as if it were military service instead of civil service) is called "having lunch." In private industry I think the CEO would want to know how the front line is really doing. The appeals process is old and one should be able to go directly to court and a jury. OPM oversight is useless. The lame OSC goes out of their way to find reasons to fail to take action (What? Use our budget to defend a federal worker! I'm a presidential appointee!). It should be eliminated and the work turned over to an IG answerable to a subcommittee on federal personnel management. An accused worker should be allowed to receive pay and benefits till the MSPB stamps the agency's action and claim as legitimate or not if one is forced to exhaust the internal appeals process. Having your rights with few financial resources to use them is the same as not having the right in the first place. The Chief is being railroaded in typical federal employment fashion. Loading up with de minimis allegations to frame a cause of action and force the victim to the MSPB without pay while the agency can use their funds and power players to hammer the respondent. It's politics first and protection of America second, if not third behind the self interests of managers. If you accept this as a given in civil service, then the blood of 9/11 is on your hands too. No good deed goes unpunished.
MD	Chief Chambers is the epitome of professionalism. She has always believed in "what's right" not "who's right" and she has always supported her troops!
MA	thank you Teresa for your courage.
MD	Don't give up Chief. We need you.

PA	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
MD	I have known Teresa for approximately thirty (30) years. I was a neighbor of hers for sixteen (16) years. I have never met anyone more honest than her. She was active in her community along with being active in her church that was in Clinton, Maryland. Having Teresa reinstated would be the best thing that could happen to the United States.
VA	The firing of Chief Chambers is an outrage; she should be reinstated immediately and congratulated for her honesty.

CA	I stand Behind Teresa 100%. This whole administration has to go. I don't even recognize what country I live in sometimes
MD	Absolutely incredible. Truly railroaded out of the office.
FL	After I, myself losing any faith in our government it is refreshing to see someone stand up for themselves and what is right, and expose the injustice in a supposedly just and fair legal body that is currently polluted with ignorant and all out "bad" people. I gladly sign. Keep fighting.
VA	I am a Pentagon Police Officer. Anytime Terry Chambers wants to find a new dept with a bunch of deadheads to fire, send her over. We would love to have her. Our current Director is a total loser and most of the Exec Staff needs to be hauled in front of a REAL GRAND JURY for a session of truth or consequences. USPP should be proud of her as she has the guts to make the tough call and be held accountable, something most agencies duck as a matter of routine. And I have 28 years in service. Go you girl !!!!!!
MD	I, too, feel that Chief Chambers was wronged. So you get fired for telling the truth? What's next, another disaster on the Mall that could have been prevented if the Park Police had more officers as she once stated. It seems that something bad has to happen first before there are changes. Now is the time to make the changes before we have another occurrence.
CA	I'm appalled at the treatment of Chief Chambers. Add it to the list of outrages under the Bush Administration.
OH	This is the kind of administrative shuffle that was directly responsible for the intelligence lapses that allowed the 9/11 tragedy to occur. Lets appropriate the required funds to keep americans safe, not punish those who point out that the shortfalls
OH	Ever since 9/11 this administration has taken the course of hiding, manipulating, and suppressing the truth to achieve its own goals and purposes. I find the firing and subsequent legal actions taken against Chief Chambers more of those same detestable actions. Chief Teresa Chambers should be reinstated to her office as soon as possible and all of these charges dismissed and erased from her record at once. Teresa Chambers has my full and complete support. I wish her the best of luck.
NC	U.S. Park Service Chief Teresa B. Chambers should be honored as a hero, not fired. It is now beyond certain to any impartial observer that the firing of Chief Teresa Chambers is nothing more than a political revenge ploy that originated somewhere within the megalomaniacal administration of President George W. Bush or from one of his partisan cronies in the U.S. Congress. Chief Chambers has been and will remain one of the most respected, innovative, and effective police administrators in the country, in the eyes of the public and her peers. Her firing by some ethically challenged politically indentured hacks who may presently be administrators of the Park Service should not be allowed to go unchallenged or to stand.
TX	Police Supervisor. I believe the chief was unjustly terminated.
MD	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
VA	Albert Schweitzer once wrote "...you who are truly happy will have sought for and found a way to serve..." Chief Chambers has devoted her life to public service. Her commitment to the public she serves is to keep those she is sworn to protect, informed. Are we going to destroy a career of a dedicated professional who has devoted her life to public service, because she announced the painfully obvious? Bureaucratic wars are being waged as Chief Chambers brought to light the need for resources to effectively do her job! Public safety is the most demanding and least appreciated profession. Have you, who have sought her resignation and disciplinary action, already forgotten about the coward terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of so many public safety professionals and civilians? Chief Chambers' duty was to inform, fight, and demand the resources to ensure no bloodshed was waged on her watch!! Stand up and be cognizant of the ridiculous allegations that surround this case. Chief Chambers' record of excellence speaks for itself. It is time to put to rest, the ungrateful sentiment of a few and restore the badge of this honorable and noble professional, who has .... "sought for and found a way to serve!"... Andrews AFB Fire & Emergency Services
IL	This decision undermines the integrity of the federal law enforcement service. I wish you luck in making your case, beat them bad!
OH	I'm appalled at the behavior of the Dept. of Interior, and the rest of the leadership in the Parks Department that have allowed this fine institution to have its name dragged through the mud.
	What's happening to Chief Chambers is outrageous. She only wanted to alert Americans to security deficiencies. No classified information was at risk. The Interior Dept. is simply trying to keep this subject quiet because the Bush Administration has no real interest in funding security measures that protect the ordinary people in the general population. They simply don't want to spend government money toward that end.
TX	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.

UT	I support Teresa Chambers and feel she should be reinstated. I believe that this is yet another flaw of the Bush Administration and how it likes to silence and fire anyone that has a disagreement with their policies. From Generals to Police Officers they fire anyone that stands up to them. Standing up for what you believe in is what this country was founded on, it is one of the basic principles and freedoms that make this country great. I feel that Teresa Chambers was justified in her actions and i fully support them and i hope that she is able to make a difference.
IL	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
DC	I strongly encourage members of the House and Senate to push this matter to the fore, and find out as much information as possible so that justice may be served.
MD	I believe that Ms. Chambers is the unfortunate victim of an administration that will not, under any circumstance, tolerate any (including constructive) criticism. To blame the messenger for the lack of integrity and common sense of the leadership of the National Park Service could be a deadly mistake in these dangerous times.
NJ	A POLICE CHIEF IS ONE WHO SUPPORTS THEIR PERSONNEL IN THE FIELD. I ONLY WISH I HAD A LEADER SUCH AS THIS. ONE WHO SPEAKS THE TRUTH AND IS NOT AFRAID. SOME LEADERS NEED TO GO AND OTHERS NEED TO STAY. CHIEF CHAMBERS NEEDS TO "STAY" AND LEAD. THE CHIEF I NOW HAVE NEEDS TO GO FOR HE GIVES NO SUPPORT TO THE COPS ON THE BEAT. I WISH CHIEF CHAMBERS WELL AND LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN HELP. A GOOD N.J. COP.

That such a dedicated, respected public servant has been treated with so much contempt and dishonesty, simply because she did her duty, informing her fellow citizens of a danger to them. This is a disgrace! I can only hope that in November, Chief Chambers will not get her badge back, but get a full apology for what was done to her under Bush and his regime. When I bring my children back to America, and show them the wonders of our parks and public places, I want to feel secure in the fact that officers like Chief Chambers are on the job. Keep fighting Chief, your fellow citizens are with you 100%!!!!

OK	Oh, how beautiful freedom of speech thrives in these United States of America. Freedom to do one's job well is expected of OUR government employees.

Isn't that what DEMOCRACY and we, the people, should expect no less.
NC	I support Teresa Chambers and abhor the culture of fear brought about by the Bush administration at all levels.

I encourage the Bush Administration to strongly support her reinstatement. Punishing someone for speaking the truth about Public Safety (or the environment, or education, or Medicare) is reprehensible.
NY	after reading your website, my lunch is not staying down. George Bush & his administration should hang his head in shame for what he's doing to good people. i feel that Teresa Chambers should be reinstated with honors for being brave enough for trying to help her fellow Americans. thank u,

This is not acceptable and needs to be corrected immediately! Supplement - 10-22-08: The fact that this absurd and totally WRONG situation has gone on for this amount of time is indicative of the reason WHY Ms. Chambers was dismissed in the first place. The incompetence, dishonesty and raging dysfunction certainly exists however, it is not the former Chief who is responsible for it. I absolutely support the immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers to the US Park Police. Supplement - 7-24-10: We are so appreciative of Chief Chambers for her courage to prioritize her own integrity and honesty. The United States desperately needs people who are willing to value the Truth more than money and inappropriate power.We support the immediate reinstatement of Ms. Chambers!

MD	The travesty of this administration and its policies is the way in which it has turned its back and actively persecuted anyone who disagrees with it � without bothering about something the rest of us call the truth. This dogmatic approach is what has lead our nation down the wrong path again and again over the past four years, all the while steadfastly claiming that things are going well regardless of the evidence to the contrary. Thank you for standing up for this country and for doing what is right.
GA	I have followed the story of Chief Chambers from the beginning. I have supported and continue to support her efforts to be reinstated. I think for her work with the Park Service, as a whistleblower, and as one who has actively sought change for a greater good, she is a hero.
CA	This is terrible and is to be expected from this vicious and dangerous administration. We need people like Teresa Chambers in law enforcement and not gangsters that just repeat misleading propaganda from an authoritarian state.
MD	This is outrageous and clearly wrongly executed act, depriving us of an excellent law enforcement official. Reinstate Teresa Chambers now! Keep the faith, Ms. Chambers. You have untold support!!
MD	I met Chief Chambers many years ago when she was on the PG county force. She was our mentor in the law explorer program. She was an awesome mentor and would have never done anything to put herself or her colleagues in jeopardy. Please reinstate Chief Chambers

NY	Dear Teresa, I remember how shocked I was the day I read about what was happening to you. I want you to know that you are not alone. I represent just one of many NPS field rangers who have been kept from deserved promotions by claims of no money for mandatory training, counseling that speaking up about it may derail our careers, and outright threats of mysterious conduct issues being brought up if we didn't stop asking about it. I firmly believe that the people of our country are behind us all, and wonder why there hasn't been more media attention. I hope to meet you in the future, and hope we are both wearing our uniforms.
Canada	The behaviour of the US Park Police commission is reprehensible. It is too bad that 52% of US citizens appear to be insane. Good luck to Ms. Chambers.

MD	I have know Chief Chambers since her days as a Prince George's County Police Officer and have always found her to be honest, candid and above reproach. Chief Chambers did nothing wrong and is the victim in this case.
TX	The suppression of info that the administration is making me wish I had voted differently. The systematic stripping of rules, on everything from clean air to clean water are being overturned, and this must stop. If you want to keep the votes for the Republican Party, try to increase the above mentioned public safety instead of making their protection useless, and a benefit for corporations, that appreciate the tax cut that deleting these regulations are giving to them. Try to do something for the people instead of big business. I've voted republican all my life, but may consider changing if the RNC keeps preferring big business instead of the taxpaying people of this nation.

AZ	I am President of the International Association of Women Police, an organization which has been in existence since 1915, and has over 4000 members in over 55 countries worldwide. Never, in my 14 years on the Board of Directors of the IAWP, have I seen such a blatant attempt to discredit and defame a woman officer who did nothing but express her concern for the public that she was entrusted to keep safe. The actions of her superiors are clearly unjustified and are a travesty of common decency, good judgment and responsible management. Those responsible for her firing should be thoroughly investigated for their actions. It is the hope of the IAWP, that Chief Chambers be reinstated, compensated for her wrongful dismissal and be allowed to continue serving her community and department as Chief of the National Park Service. We wish her the best of luck in her fight against such great odds and support her in efforts to keep the system honest and just.
VA	As a retired (Disability) police officer and a female I hope Chief Chambers gets reinstated. She is a great inspiration to many law enforcement officers for standing up for what she believes in. GOOD LUCK

CA	While others are given the medal of freedom for missing the biggest terrorist attack on American soil, Ms. Chambers get harassed. This is not so much against Ms. Chambers as much as it is a message to others in the system to keep quiet. How pathetic, I'm appalled. I'm reading William Shire's, "The Nightmare Years" (Germany 1930-1940) and there are chilling similarities to what is going on.

VA	I am very concerned that the arbitrary and capricious treatment of former Chief Chambers may be indicative of a US Government trend, which, if not halted and reversed, might well lead to distinct possibilities that an unfettered US Federal Government might trample on Constitutionally protected rights of public servants, citizens and other US residents. The Teresa Chambers case matters because, if not noted, sacrosanct precedents may be trammeled; we, the People may find ourselves living in more of a Police State than ever envisioned. Not to act in support of dismissed Park Police Chief Chambers is to permit our sacrosanct protections as individuals in this fine country to trickle away through our fingers like so many grains of sand. Or, to use another analogy, remember this quote: "We must all stand together or we shall all fall together."
MD	I have grown up with a mother that worked in Federal Govt. for 39 years. My family has been full of police officers. My daughter has an important position on the Hill right now. Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with any administration. This political nonsense has gone on through-out every administration. It is about time that Mr. Donald Murphy and a few above him be investigated. And some serious disclosures be revealed. And I am in a position now to get the ball rolling. Don't be at the bottom of the hill Mr. Murphy when the ball starts rolling down hill! Teresa you keep fighting. GOOD must WIN over evil. Put Chief Chambers back in the position she was hired to do. No one has been a better Chief.

OR	For public servants to work as professionals for the public good, their professionalism and integrity MUST be respected. When the Bush Administration retaliates against Teresa Chambers or any other professional public servants who are acting in what they believe is the best interest of the United States, the very foundations of our democracy are being undermined. All Americans who believe in the principles upon which our Democracy was founded must vehemently object to this egregious treatment of this courageous and principled American public servant. As the child of a survivor of the Third Reich, I am appalled to see such tactics being practiced by an American Administration, in complete opposition to our protection of freedom of speech. This must be corrected and must not occur with respect to ANY other public employees.

The picture of her and I from my graduation still hangs on my wall with extreme pride. I wish that I had been given the opportunity to have worked more closely with her, however she departed shortly after my employment started with the Durham Police Department. I do hope that she is cleared of these false and damaging accusations. This is definitely not in keeping with the person that I came to know and respect while at Durham P.D.
GA	It is sad when a person is fired for simply doing their job. But sometimes doing their job means 'outting' other personnel that aren�t doing theirs. And then it becomes a matter of who has more 'clout' in the good ole boy system. May God bless Teresa in her fight for what's right.

Where is the integrity here! Only you! People like you are too few in number. I know a whistle-blower and he is/was not treated any better. He can't fight anymore - beaten down - and yet still has to look over his shoulder! I'm scared just to voice my support for you. Win this! We need -- I need to see good triumph in these evil times. Our government is turning borderline fascist - just what the people seem to want. Your fight is much more than just your job - which you were/are superb at. You always supported the officers! Isn't that what a chief is supposed to do?! But now you're having to fight for your job just because you told the truth! This is the classic whistle-blower -- that I THOUGHT WAS PROTECTED! Apparently not. That outrages me even more than your firing. What the hell happened to the whistle-blowers act! If (I hope WHEN) you win, it will give me some hope. God knows I need it. So does my friend, and all honest and good people like you - people with integrity - people with a heart - people who just want to DO THEIR JOBS!
VT	Dear Chief Chambers, As long as the courts are filled with judges who are not only unqualified but strongly opposed to justice and equality for women, situations like yours will continue.

AZ	Why do we continue to elect people that do not follow the laws they are elected to enforce?
NY	I feel that for the past few years many branches of government have been hiding things that suddenly spring up as news to the public (prison-camp torture for example). The government should make the people well aware of issues, especially public safety. if the government is doing something that isn't in the interest of the public, then why should we have to support it? this is OUR country. In the United States, we are truly educated enough to make a our own decisions when it comes to our own safety. Park Service should reinstate Teresa Chambers or they're simply adding more suspicion, attention, and guilt to attract public interest.
NY	Hooray for Teresa Chambers! I am certain there are many many more US employees and officials who could become whistleblowers. Now is the time.
CO	I am very sad that this happened. I hope that the people responsible for these actions someday realize they are not representing the voice of the people.

VA	Teresa Chambers spoke truth to power and has paid the price for doing so. Shame on the Bushiviks!
FL	We need to keep in public service people like Chief Chambers who have integrity and honesty. The truth should not have to be watered down or kept quiet. There is nothing worse hindering our public servants from doing their jobs than appointed officials who know nothing about the actual work the real employees are doing but who instead are only interested in self promotion and the benefits of putting corporations first in America.
CA	I am extremely disturbed by the level of partisan sniping and false statements made by Interior Dept. officials. The Bush administration's take no prisoners approach to anyone who questions their actions or authority is becoming an epidemic. Qualified administrators all through the Federal government are being forced out by partisan political appointees whose loyalty is only to George W Bush, and their qualifications are usually non-existent. Playing politics is a disgusting way to run our government and it must be stopped. -- Supplement, 6-22-06: I believe that Chief Chambers has been railroaded by Bush appointees who believe that anyone who speaks out against administration policy is a traitor, or worse. The appointees Bush makes are almost always right wing political patrons being rewarded for their loyalty to Bush, and anyone getting in their way is subject to the usual Bush Administration tactics of character assassination and smears.

This has soared far beyond the intolerable. It is clearly and blatantly itself the worst kind of terrorism and a massive frontal assault on the American People and what now remains of a democratic system. It can, must, and will be stopped!

If the time, energy, and money spent on condemning her were used to solve some of the budget concerns she addressed, our nation would be safer and more dignified. That is a word the United States is trying to convince the world of having, while actually destroying individual dignity and rights whenever it suits the needs of this diabolical White House. Instead of persecuting Ms. Chambers, this country should impeach Bush on grounds of treason and murder, both at home and abroad.

Cowardice hides behind power.

Good people like Teresa Chambers are being smeared for standing up for what is right and the foxes are guarding the hen house.

All our freedoms are being threatened by big business. Follow the money... straight to the whitehouse. Our only hope is to count on individuals to act, everyday, in any capacity they are able. Teresa Chambers is a public servant in the real sense of the word. If this nation finally wakes up and realizes what's happening, history will not speak kindly of this administration.

NM	The wildlife refuges of New Mexico and organic farms have been poisoned by ARSENAL. If we had someone like Ms. Chambers, perhaps we could stop this poison of organic foods, people, clean food; Supplement - 11-9-07: I was an archaeologist in the US for more than 25 years. The blatant disregard for scientific archaeology, the mandate to turn everything in this world into a money making eco-tourist site, and to stop science and print metaphysics and "cute" little papers, the plain incompetency of American Archaeologists, including using Historic Preservation to steal properties, land, water, etc., caused me to quit what I do so well. I am an ecologist, feminist, anthropology who refuses to work for the US ever again. I work with Amnesty International and do demography. I went back to university in NYC only to be bombed by the Bush Regime in their rush to go to war. That may not be much help to you, but THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! We all have a long war ahead of us to "clean" up America. Some days I lose hope, but some days we win one. You will win, that I am sure. Perhaps, this will help some. Last winter, Texas A&M used North Star helicopters and a horrific pesticide manufacture by BASF called ARSENAL/imazapyr to spray over "Salt Cedars for eradication of a "noxious weed." I think they also treating you as if you are a "noxious weed." YOU ARE NOT! Neither is the Salt Cedar, it has gotten a bad reputation as a water grabber and that is not true. Lies, Lies. It was done in order to get more alfalfa land for the capitalists to sell to the Japanese who have decided to have horses stacked upon horses. They race them, and hope one breaks a leg, then they all have a feast to enjoy the expensive "beast." But with that pesticide linked to Blackwater as well, the ranchers managed to kill 300 of my heirloom and endangered chickens that are raised to save species and diversity, but also to feed ill people. So, we fight for the planet everyday. I will probably leave this country soon. It is too barbaric for me. But, I thank you for caring. And stand tall, you have already won. The countdown for the Bush is 360 days now. Cling to that. And hope that we and the planet will win. My warm regards to you.

VA	I fully support Chief Teresa Chambers without reservation. I served with the Prince George's County police department during which time Chief Chambers was my corporal (while I was in the academy) and my lieutenant when I was a patrol officer. I have known her professionally since 1984 and followed her career when she became Chief of the Durham, NC, police department and then Chief of the US Park Police. My father was a NPS Ranger under the Interior Dept. and then a Forest Ranger under Agriculture. I was very happy to see Chief Chambers become chief of the USPP. I knew that she would bring her integrity and dedication to the agency. IT IS A SHAME the SHAM that cowardly government officials played out on her and then fled Washington after being forced into reassignment, resignation or after opting to bail from their responsibilities for other ventures. After all these years, Chief Chambers is still fighting and being proven right in her actions by an independent IG. What we lack in Washington is leadership. We have plenty of "elected officials" but that doesn't make them leaders. A true leader sticks around for the long haul - despite adversity (like Chief Chambers has) and a true leader would step forward and correct a grave injustice that has been done to Chief Chambers and our nation. No good comes out of prolonging this matter. As long as this goes unresolved and Chief Chambers goes unheard, it only serves to diminish our hope that justice is still valued in America. And the world is watching.
CA	Chief Chambers should be the Chief of the National Park Service again!
MN	Supports immediate reinstatement of Chief Chambers.
