Governors Warned of Threats (from 'Guardians of the free Republics') [NOT related to FR]

Washington (WBAP) - Nerves are rattled in state capitals coast to coast after demands from a group -- apparently based in Texas -- that all 50 U.S. governors step down from office. The FBI warns that the group's rhetoric could provoke violence by others.

An FBI special agent in San Antonio would not confirm that Texas Gov. Rick Perry has received the letter, but the document sent to at least 30 other state capitols warns that, unless the governors step down, they will be removed. The Associated Press received a copy of the advisory from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.

Screening machines for visitors and packages were added to the entrance of the capitol at Carson City, Nevada. And patrols by Utah state troopers were beefed-up around the beehive-shaped capitol at Salt Lake City.

The office of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal confirmed receiving a letter from the Guardians of the Free Republics, but directed further questions to the Louisiana State Police.

"The Guardians of the Free Republics" looks like it is an outgrowth of Ron Paul supporters--"The Guardians of the Republic Project, MUST Read !!!" Article

I'm concerned that this group will become linked to FR due to the same words being part of both. Tin foil hat on wondering if the title was chosen on purpose to attack JimRob's FR???

Disinformation from the federal government to the states attempting to undercut states rights movements by scaring them into the laps of the feds.

The governors should know that citizens interested in liberty are looking to them for leadership against the feds.

Obamists are trying to triangulate against the citizens.

Threats to Perry and Jindal? Both of these two men are well-regarded here on the real Free Republic.

Did we ever figure out what that ?Cantu? dude who shot up the Capitol after talking with Dan Patrick a few months ago was all about? Was he a Paul guy?

I really dislike it when people do this, because it diminishes the real purpose behind the dissent. “3 days to get out or you’ll be removed?” I mean, what is that? This kind of behavior earns the wrong kind of title. I don’t want that title attached to us here...

You mean the FBI plant/informant "egging" loudmouths to "really do something" so the informant gets a big reward and or promotion?

I think we can expect to see more bogus "radical right groups" being secretly funded by the socialists in order to discredit all opponents of the obamanation.

“Sounds like another operation instigated by the FBI.”

############

I agree. Its just another way to scare the ill-informed people around the country that this is one of the reasons why a civilian army is needed...

IIRC, There is a legal term for that: Entrapment. It is not allowed by the courts.

Yeah, I’m certain Perry and Jindal know what FR is and can make the distinction between Freepers and whacked out militia types, whether such militia types are the genuine whacked out article or a creation of a government program, which would NOT surprise me in the least under this administration.

It's the FBI and DHS.

Janet Napolitano gave the gig away a number of months ago when she told us that DHS would be pursuing threats against Muslims in this country by right wing terrorist groups.

Then the attacks on the Tea Parties began.

Then the "big" bust of the "Christian" white wing "militia" in Michigan.

This is a typical tactic of the left starting with Clintoons whitewash of the OKC bombing.

Don't buy into it. It is an attempt to split the grassroots movement from the governors who are also trying to defend themselves from the federal government.

You’re exactly right but I’ll bet there are plenty of courts in the US where you could find judges who would accept it somehow.
