Nut jobs on the move again in the US, as governors receive demands to leave office.
While news reports filed by the Associated Press say 30 governors have received threatening letters from the "Guardians of the free Republics",
this account, in a Nevada paper, claims a source within the "guardians" has informed them the letter went to all 50 governors.
Quote:
“It does not represent a ‘threat' from an ‘extremist' (as is commonly associated with ‘terrorist' in the media today) group but instead it is a real, legally binding document which is presented by a Grand Jury of regular people which declares that the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, controller and treasurer all must have lawful oaths of office in order operate in their respective positions.”
A comment posted on the Appeal's Web site, purportedly from someone with the Guardians organization, accuses the government and media in the U.S. of treason, “Material support of terrorism through US Media for Political or monetary gain,” and violations of the Patriot Act and Rico (anti-organized crime) Act.
It describes their plan as “a bold achievable strategy for behind-the-scenes peaceful reconstruction of the de jure institutions of government without controversy, violence or civil war.”
“De jure” is Latin, in this context, for “lawful.”
The letters sent to the governors are apparently from an organization allied with the “sovereign citizens” movement, which the Anti-Defamation League identifies as a collection of anti-government, anarchist groups whose followers believe every level of government in the country is illegitimate.
One of that ideology's adherents was Terry Nichols, accomplice of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Apparently the letters arrived March 31, and gave the governors 3 days to step down.
