Rick Perry among governors receiving threat

Not to be Taken lightly , But this is Hilarious !



El Paso Times
Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office confirmed Friday that it received a threatening letter from an anti-government group calling for the removal of governors from office.

Perry spokeswoman Allison Castle confirmed a letter arrived from Guardians of the free Republics, a group that says it wants to "restore America" by peacefully dismantling parts of government.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating, Castle said. She and the DPS wouldn't release any further details, such as when the letter arrived or what it said.

"We acknowledge that the governor's office did receive one of the letters, and we opened a criminal investigation," DPS spokesman Tom Vinger said. Perry's office was closed Friday for Good Friday, not because of security concerns, Castle said.

This week, dozens of governors across the country received letters saying if they don't leave office within three days they would be removed, according to federal documents obtained by The Associated Press. The FBI is warning local police that the anti-government group's call to remove governors from office could provoke violence, although investigators said they do not see threats of violence in the group's message.

The group on its Web site advertises a "Restore America Plan" that it says "is a bold achievable strategy for behind-the-scenes peaceful reconstruction of ... government without controversy, violence or civil war."

The FBI said it expects all 50 governors to eventually receive the
group's letters.
