The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating a letter sent to Gov. Rick Perry as part of what's reported to be a nationwide effort by an anti-government group.

The Associated Press reported that it obtained an internal intelligence note by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security saying that as of Wednesday, more than 30 governors had received letters saying if they don't leave office within three days they will be removed...

DPS spokeswoman Tela Mange said, "The governor did receive one of those letters, and the DPS has opened a criminal investigation."

The agency isn't discussing the letter further, Mange said...

Do you mean Michigan Militia or the Hutaree Group? There is a whopping big difference.

See, Sarah Palin was way ahead of the curve.

Will be interesting to see who’s behind this, if we ever find out.

This is a Ron Paul-Alex Jones type group.

That particular website was registered a month ago. Another site is called CopperCards, which is the same people.

So far, in the context of the reporting, I have yet to see any wording that is “criminal”.

Could it be that they are implying a legal removal from office? I’d like to see the letter.

I, too, am quite frustrated with my “governor” serving the interests of the federal government and not the interests of the citizens of this state.

The organization itself is not named in the article, only those under indictment

Thanks. Those named in the article are tied to Hutaree, not the Michigan Militia, which vehemently denies any ties to Hutaree. For the record, of those indicted, only one person’s party affiliation was known and that person was a registered democrat.
