Roll Call:

One came from a high school student who was goofing off on the school computer during civics lessons. Another from a man angry over an automated call. And another from a man who claimed he grew up with President Barack Obama in Wisconsin.

If they don't start acting in the interests of the majority, I say we start acting and stop threatening. Revolution.

They should remember what happened to the last person that said "Let them eat cake." The American people will only take so much of their corruption.

What do they expect with news of corruption and the daily sound bites from politicians totally out of touch with the realities facing the common man and woman? I imagine if they started doing what they were elected to do rather than concentrating on feathering their nest and that of their donors and corporate backers they wouldn't be receiving so many threats.

I think the public has more to fear from Congress than congress has to fear from the public.
Every time they vote we lose a right, and big business gets another (bailout, bonus, taxcut, no bid contract)....But you don't see the Capitol Police up there protecting your grandma from having to eat dog food now do you?

Let me guess: Release of the data show many threats against Republicans so it has to be spun by the progressives

especially when they threaten themselves with legislation that Americans just don't want.

Well I’ll be darned members of congress read their hate mail, who would have guessed; I thought that they just threw ALL constituent mail straight in the trash. The reason I thought that is how non responsive congressman are to the wishes of their constituents.

Using that new information it will be necessary to re-format all mail to congress. Instead of:

Dear congressman,

I would appreciate your attention to the ……..

The new opening should be:

Hey you,
Someone should put a knot on your head

Who knew? Live and learn, right

What about covert attacks congress imposes on the public when writing laws that benefit Wall Street at the expense of Main Street? When will the federal apparatus investigate those painful attacks?

I'm surprised there aren't more.

You really don`t want to know.

Considering the incredible number of malfeasances perpitrated by MOC's it is surprising there is not more threats. Not to mention the damage done to innocent citizens by crooked political representatives, which is unfathonable to say the least.
