The pitched battle over health care has unleashed a rash of vandalism and attacks directed at politicians, with at least 10 House Democrats reporting death threats or incidents of harassment or vandalism at their district offices over the past week.
More than 100 House Democrats met behind closed doors Wednesday afternoon with representatives of the FBI and the U.S. Capitol Police. The lawmakers voiced what one senior aide who was present described as "serious concern" about their security in Washington and in their home districts when they return this weekend for the spring recess.
Usually only the congressional leadership has regular personal protection from the Capitol Police. But at least 10 lawmakers have been offered increased protection by law enforcement agencies, said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.).
Asked whether members are endangered, Hoyer said: "Yes. [There are] very serious incidents that have occurred."

10 House Democrats reporting death threats from those that are against their opposition to Obamacare.
Shepherd Smith interviewed Giffords’ friend, AZ state Sen. Lopez, who made a couple references about violence and the Tea Party. Of course, she had to mention Giffords’ GOP opponent in November was a Tea Partier.
Even as things barely unfold, the Dems are arranging the narrative.
Now, that Obamacare is about to be repealed, a Congresswoman shot because of it?! Logic???
She was known for the crackdown on illegal immigration. She went against libs on Arizona law and demanded National Guard on the border with Mexico.
Wouldn't be more plausible to link that to the attack? What's more riskier in a border state overrun with the drug and human trafficking: current advocating for border security or having voted in the past for Obamacare, an Obamacare that is now going into sunset?
