The debate over and passage of the health care overhaul this year has coincided with an increase in threats against lawmakers. According to a recent report, lawmakers reported 42 security incidents from January through March -- lawmakers reported only 15 cases in the first three months of 2009. |
This problem does not originate with people randomly inciting violence towards the government. It stems from Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and other democrats who said to hell with what the people want, we're voting for national health care and stimulus packages. Mr. Clinton, your warning is a bit late, and to the wrong people.
