NASHVILLE — Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen is among more than 30 governors who have received a letter saying if they don't leave office within three days they will be removed.

Spokeswoman Lydia Lenker said Friday that the state Department of Safety and the Office of Homeland Security are working with the FBI on an investigation.

The letter came from an anti-government group called the Guardians of the Free Republics, which on its Web site says it wants to "restore America" by peacefully dismantling parts of the government.

The FBI is warning police across the country that the group's call could provoke violence by others.

Anyone who simply disagrees with dear leader is now a “terrorist”. It’s the same in every other communist revolution throughout history.

I sense a smear campaign that is designed to hit very close to home here...

Peaceful dismantling?

Well, that would be a theat to these creeps.

Notice how the MSM is going viral with this story just about the time for the bail hearing for the Hutaree crew?

Has anyone ever heard of this group?

Was it started by Obamaites to discredit conservatives?

The news story has little information about this so-called anti-government group. How long has it been around, who started it and is it a group or just one nut with some envelopes and stamps? The quick acceptance of the press to paint anti-statiist, anti-socialism valid political protests as a threat is troubling. Our Tea Party people were well behaved and had very peaceful gatherings.

It’s BS, the feds have already said the letters are non-threatening.

“Investigators do not see threats of violence in the group’s message”

and

“Boyd, who described the letter as “non-threatening,” said it was opened by a staffer and immediately turned over to the Michigan State Police.”

This is ONLY about intimdating free speech. Don’t fall for it.

They can’t jail all 100 million of us who think the governement stinks.

Talk it up LOUDER.
