Rep Perriello 'I Ask Every Member Of House/Senate To State-Its Never OK To Harm Official+Families'
Edited on Wed Mar-24-10 06:08 PM by kpete
Statement of Rep. Tom Perriello on Incident at Brother’s Home

Washington, DC—Today, Rep. Tom Perriello released the following statement in response to an ongoing FBI investigation into a severed gas line at the home of the congressman’s brother.

“My number one priority right now is ensuring the safety of my brother’s family, and I am grateful to law enforcement for their excellent work. While it is too early to say anything definitive regarding political motivations behind this act, it’s never too early for political leaders to condemn threats of violence, particularly as threats to other Members of Congress and their children escalate. And so I ask every member of House and Senate leadership to state unequivocally tonight that it is never OK to harm or threaten elected officials and their families with anything more than political retribution. Here in America, we settle our political differences at the ballot box.”

1. Prosecute the fuckers under the Patriot Act and see how much they like
those laws they support.

3. These people are forgetting...
and act such as this, is a domestic act of terrorism, and as such they could be sent to Gitmo as long as it is open. Held without a lawyer and no access to the public. After all that's what Bush with the approval of the Republican congress did.
