Louise Slaughter and Bart Stupak have received death threats.
A tea party participant published what he thought was Thomas Perriello’s home address and urged disgruntled voters to “drop by” for a “good face-to-face chat.”
Vandals broke windows at Slaughter’s office in New York and Gabrielle Giffords’s office in Arizona.
And angry voters are planning to protest this weekend at the home of Steve Driehaus — who’s already seen a photograph of his children used in a newspaper ad published by reform opponents.
The vitriolic health care debate has become personal — too personal, say House Democrats who voted for the bill and now find not just themselves but their families in the cross hairs of opponents.

The cool thing about God is we may not be able to do anything about it, but, He can do something about it. We need to do what we can do, what we feel lead by God to do and pray, God will take care of the rest.
Every American citizen received a Death Threat from the Democrats last weekend.
Henry Bowman should be showing up any time soon.
MsLady, it just sounds as though you’re saing all people need to do is pray. Maybe you’re not saying that. But it reads like that to me.
I do not disagree with prayer, in fact prayer is daily bread, more so than bread made from flour.
But God expects his servants to act, not sit at home and pray. Unless that’s all they can do. But most people can either walk or drive or ride wheelchairs, have phones or faxes or computers, have arms and legs that function. And brains. So that means the vast majority of people can pray, and THEN ACT ON THAT PRAYER! Not just sit and wait for God to “do” something.
Usually when He “does” something, that means He empowers or inspires and gives intelligence to people to act on His behalf. And He can arrange outcomes. But if people sit at home, praying, and expect God to get out on the streets or somehow magically change the hearts of all who are evil so they will stop their insane screaming nosedive into hell and take everyone with them, I do not agree.
He expects His servants to act, to take risks, to work hard for Him. Not just sit and pray. Maybe for some it is a vocation - or that’s all they can do, but for most people, they can do more. And should do more.
They have to serve 6 years and the minimum pension is 50K a year plus health care for life for him and his wife.
Still not bad. But the real money comes from the friends they make while in office, and given the cost of a campaign, they have to make lots of friends to get elected.
My bad they have to serve 5 years not 6.
“According to the Congressional Research Service, 413 retired Members of Congress were receiving federal pensions based fully or in part on their congressional service as of Oct. 1, 2006.

A very sweet deal.
Be careful for “ReichStag” fires.
+++Haven’t seen this much anger since the 60’s++++
They also tried to “buy off”/”bribe” their way out of another “Kent State” effect, with their little “age 26 rule”
But Mommy and Daddy are flippin the bill.
Get the **** off my body!
Thank you.
Well, they do like to publish the list of folks that have conceal carry permits in states that issue them. Public information and all that.

I would say they used violence in the defense of liberty. They lost many more freedoms and rights than this one bill and then were fired upon. I don't think there is a comparison, yet.
Be honest, Hoyer. You’re more afraid of Pelosi and Rahm than you are of your constituents.
Nits make lice.
Praying to the Lord is a prelude to action.
One certainly did.
The other, maybe, maybe not.
So we could have just prayed the Imperial Japanese Navy away 70 years ago?
No need for all that icky Bataan Death March and Tarawa and Iwo Jima and Okinawa?
Alas. If only we'd known.
And "A time to kill, a time to heal".
