Capitol Chaos: Lawmakers Get Death Threats By Jon Byman
Story Created: Mar 10, 2011
MADISON - The State Department of Justice confirms that it is investigating several death threats against a number of lawmakers in response to the legislature's move to strip employees of many collective bargaining rights.
Among the threats the Justice Department is investigationg is one that was emailed to Republican Senators Wednesday night. Newsradio 620 WTMJ has obtained that email.
The following is the unedited email:
Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.
WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me have decided that we've had enough. We feel that you and the people that support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand for it any longer. So, this is how it's going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it's a matter of public records. We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn't leave it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the message to you since you are so "high" on Koch and have decided that you are now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent. This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won't tell you all of them because that's just no fun. Since we know that you are not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it's necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families and themselves then We Will "get rid of" (in which I mean kill) you. Please understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do. We feel that it's worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!

Death Threats Against Obama Increase By 400 Percent
Which I'm sure is just as many (or possibly more) threats as GWB faced.. it comes with the territory.
EVERYONE is to blame in Wisconsin. From the Governor overstepping by trying to take bargaining rights away, to the Democrat Senators who took their toys and went home instead acting like responsible elected officials, to the Union bosses who only care about increasing their power and money it provides.. A sad situation.
One thing it has done is exposed the excess of public union contracts and also allowed the public to see what a self-defeating thing teacher tenure is.

The death threats are rising at the same rate as fuel prices!!

Did you see the first link I posted? Death threats against Obama have INCREASED 400% from the number received by George W. Bush.
Yeah, I did... they said as MUCH as 400%.. not consistent or linear at 400% I would imagine a good number of those threats came in his first year or during the health care debate. It also came from an "unnamed" secret service source.. what does that mean? Based on the accuracy by all media outlets, pretty much nothing...

Oh the liberal socialists will find some way to blame bush. That is what liberals do.........blame everyone and everything else so they carry no responsibility.
Americans are not happy with the direction this country is going in. And they are tired of the 'blame game'. This country isin a push/pull between the extreme left and the extreme right. Moderates from both sides are desperately needed!!

death threats because the masses have access to info ALL THE TIME....and their friends are telling them they no longer have the excuse of 'lack of access'.....we no longer care to hear about Lohan/sheen/kardashians or who's who in the world of unreality....when they ARE NOT kept to the same 'standard'(lie) the rest of the population is......
what will REALLY piss off the masses will be when they decide to LIMIT ATM access right after cash disappears......pay attention....the machine is getting REALLY REALLY REALLY GREEDY.......
as far as losing collecting bargaining "rights"(joke),,,,I DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR THEM---THEY CHOSE TO BE IN THAT SEAT.... HOWEVER....the budget has a portion to do with contracts/pensions/benefits(very little to do with wages, that's the easy part)
the DEMS and REPS all row the same boat and use the unions a podium pucks to divide and conquer the masses...it's VERY easy to make a common enemy of the masses.....
TO BAD THE ENTIRE MASS DOESN'T REALIZE IT'S POWER.....forget the union bargaining(that's just a nice way to say to the government "I know you pocket $ lie, cheat, steal from the masses so we want a piece of it to".....
We put the task masters where they are......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Just like the right-wingers are blaming Obama for high oil prices due to the drilling moratorium? Funny that there was no moratorium when Bush was in office and prices still went up.
The people to blame for high oil prices are the same ones who caused the financial meltdown: Wall St. traders. We don't have a shortage of oil right now; the price is going up solely because of traders driving up the price due to Mideast unrest.
Here's an interesting article about how the oil futures market works and opinions on the advantages and flaws. It's a couple of years old now but it probably mostly still applies.

I'd be more likely to try to read your screeds if you used tried to use even basic punctuation and grammar. Seriously, where did you learn that this was how people should write/type? Also, on the internet, typing in ALL CAPS is considered shouting and is rude. If you want to emphasize something, use the "italics" feature that is available in the text editor for this board. All caps is not necessary.
I can understand your lack of respect for teachers. Your English one sucked.
