Beshear Receives Threatening Letter
KENTUCKY....
Kentucky State Police Lt. David Jude acknowledged Friday that Governor Steve Beshear is among more than 30 governors who have received threatening letters from an anti-government group, Guardians of the free Republics, demanding that they resign or be removed. Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway called Friday for political leaders to stop trying to "whip people into a frenzy" over the health care reform package. Several Democratic political leaders in Kentucky have received threats since Congress enacted the package. On Thursday, more than 100 protesters, some carrying guns, rallied at the state Capitol in an effort to persuade Conway to join other states in a lawsuit aimed at stopping the federal health care reforms, but Conway says he doesn't want to waste taxpayer dollars on a legal action that would ultimately fail.
