House Democratic and Republican leaders have conferred to discuss a response to a "significant" number of threats against lawmakers.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that he, along with Democratic and Republican leaders, have discussed new security precautions that lawmakers should take after a spike in threats to lawmakers following a controversial healthcare vote this past weekend.
"Any member who feels themselves at risk is getting attention from the proper authority," Hoyer said during brief remarks on Wednesday.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) Wednesday called disrespectful acts towards members of Congress "unacceptable" and urged health law opponents to speak with their votes instead.

Why are they scared? They own the American public now.
This is a ruse. I’m calling bullshit on this right now. They’re gearing up for something; I would bet it’s gun control initiatives.
I hope those criminals spend every moment of the rest of their lives living in fear.
If they’re in such great danger, then why publicize it?
Interesting, now that is signed where is the LOVE the Dums said would flow.
Frankly I suspect SEIU/Acorn
They asked for the Revolution and they may just get it.
Bull crap.
Hey, how about when Karl Rove’s house was surrounded by a hatefilled CROWD???
Or Ann Coulter last night? (yeah, I know it was Canada. Hate doesn’t stop at the border.)
Or how about the signs of hate, etc. put toward our troops and our President during Bush 43’s terms?
God, the media is so damnable in their bias—ignoring the massive hate on the left yet working sooo hard to exagerrate the few loonies on the right.
Why ever would we be mad and vengeful? Was it something you said Steny? Please explain what has caused a decrease in your safety.
They are scared now? Just wait until they start campaigning.
This lie. The newsmedia is making up all sorts of lies to cover for this nightmare.
DEFUND - defund this nightmare. Get the GOP members running in 2010 to sign a pledge.
And they don’t even have to have a final bill to pass it now.
Agree. Look for then to set up a few martyrs.
It's Reichstag Fire thing.
They have already shown their people are expendable for the Greater Peoples' Revolution.
Greetings rarestia:
Roger your assessment. Do you think AIG can insure their re-election chances, despite this pre-existing condition of a ticked off voting public?
Cheers,

Here comes the private citizen police force we’ve been promised.
I wonder how many of these threats/racial slurs are false charges to prevent anything from happening or to be able to say "I told ya so!"?
Jackasses!
Sleep with your eyes open, you jerk.
That’s what I’m thinking. I believe it when I see proof.
You thugs should stay locked in your houses until you’re fired in November.
