Governors Receive Threats From Extremist Group



WASHINGTON — Governors across the country said Friday that they had
received letters from an extremist group warning that that they might be
forcibly removed from office if they did not step down within three days.

Officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of
Homeland Security confirmed that they had sent out an intelligence note
with information about potential threats made to governors by a group
calling itself Guardians of the Free Republics.

The note was sent to state law enforcement officials in the last few days.

A homeland security official said the federal agencies were not aware of
“an immediate or credible threat.”

“No specific information indicates that violence is intended,” the
official said. “These threat assessments are issued regularly out of an
abundance of caution.”

State officials said they were taking the threat seriously because it
came at a time of increased attention to antigovernment groups.

Nine members of a militant Christian militia group were arrested in
Michigan last weekend and accused of plotting an uprising against the
government.

On its Web site, the Guardians of the Free Republics sets forth a plan
to “restore America.” It describes the plan as “a bold achievable
strategy for behind-the-scenes peaceful reconstruction of the de jure
institutions of government without controversy, violence or civil war.”

They certainly are deserving of really close scrutiny...these right-wing
nutcases are just an American version of the taliban.

Where is the hue and cry from the right demanding that this seditious
rabble, these enemy combatants, be transported to Gitmo and tried in a
military court?

You mean the congressmen that voted for the unconstitutional health care

Or maybe he's trying. It's a complicated situation. Bush pushed it for years
and then said it should be closed. It'll take longer than Obama originally
thought, but there's every indication it'll get done.
