After Democratic lawmakers were targeted by death threats and vandalism, House Democrats met with members of the Capitol Police today to discuss security concerns.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip James Clyburn held a press conference this afternoon on Capitol Hill, saying members had raised concerns and that Capitol Police told them to address any suspicious activity around the Capitol.

"Any member who feels themselves at risk is getting attention from the proper authorities," Hoyer said. At least 10 Democratic lawmakers have complained of threats or other security concerns.

Anyone try to foolishly push SOCIALISM on the United States--when the PEOPLE DO NOT WANT IT??? They ain't seen nothing yet. They are well-advised to read their American history, that's all I can see:

- their flunkies do it. I agree. It happens over and over and never a way to prove things. And the media shouts it to the world as fact.

It’s a start.

They need to be looking over their shoulders at all times. Better yet, they shouldn’t go out alone.

Yup

Big numbers of listeners

Those who vote often do not know who or what they are voting for -

Right, because most don’t read or even watch the news.

OK, I wrote to you the other day about Krauthammer [sp] saying Obama would most likely add a ‘universal’ tax or some such.

There are threads now about the VOR, or Value Added Tax. Have you read about that? He has to make money somehow but they said this would break his promise of no taxes.
I can’t keep up with all this crap anymore, pardon the language.

No way! I am one of those people and it wasn’t a threat, it was a verbal fax paus but they are making it out to be sinister. I have posted about it already and made light of my error but today it was all over FNC, about threats. Unbelievable.

VAT is a super multiple sales/product or service transfer tax

Obama will claim it is not income tax and he had no choice - he inherited.....

VAT give the left an ever expanding budget - so they will pass huge bills

They want the old 95% income tax back

Pay up or you are a racist!

Lol, don’t know what VOR stands for but had it in my head too.

Yeah, the ‘tax’ has to be under the commerce laws too.

Hmm, reading above your post. Looks like interesting reading.

I have no idea what you have done but I just don’t believe the claims these folks are making. No racial slurs and no spitting so far. I think they are making it up. If they had proof there would be arrests.

I agree with you on that. They are making a mountain out of a molehill.
