Welcome to the official Frank Serpico Website

 

This website is currently under development and strives to be a resource for people who feel that “Doing the Right Thing” is important. In a speech that Frank delivered a while back for the Project on Government Oversight, he expressed his displeasure with the word “Whistleblowers,” and in the spirit with which Paul Revere lit the lamps in the tower, Frank coined the term “Lamplighters,’” for individuals who seek truth and justice, even when confronted with the prospect of great personal loss. This website is dedicated to Lamplighters everywhere!


Working with Frank over the last several years has given me the opportunity to be involved with many worthwhile projects focused on “Doing the Right Thing.” I have met many interesting people who have dedicated themselves to fighting the good fight, and speaking truth to power even at the risk of great personal sacrifice. Given the current situation in America and the world, we are at a unique time in history where it is of paramount importance, perhaps more than ever, to “Do the Right Thing.” Those in charge need to be watched and it is the job of all citizens to keep those in “power” in check.


Whether government agencies, law enforcement, big business, or your neighbor down the street, it is important to send the message that living in the grey-zone of morality is not acceptable. We have found over the years that the greatest challenge that many Lamplighters face is a feeling of isolation and loneliness. Lamplighters oftentimes feel that it is them against the world. Frank cannot respond individually to all the letters that he receives, so our hope is that this website will serve as a resource and sounding board for Lamplighters around the world.

Thanks for stopping by and keep checking back as the site grows.
