RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the severing of a
gas line at the home of U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello's brother following
the posting of his address online by Tea Party activists.

The activists are upset with the Virginia congressman's vote in favor
of the health care reform.

At a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, House Majority Leader
Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that at least 10 members of Congress have
requested extra security due to recent threats.

Perriello's office confirmed that a line to a propane tank on a gas
grill was cut at Bo Periello's Charlottesville home on Monday.

Tea Party activists had posted the address online thinking it was the
congressman's home, telling opponents to drop by and "express their
thanks" for his vote.

Albemarle County spokeswoman Lee Catlin said the county fire marshal's
office was assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

She said investigators did not believe there was an immediate threat
to those in the home.
