Extremist group demands governors resign, FBI says

receiving letters

Washington (CNN) -- A domestic extremist group has sent letters to
more than 30 U.S. governors demanding they resign, the Department of
Homeland Security and the FBI said in an intelligence note.
The note, dated Monday, said the letters told the governors to vacate
their posts within three days.
The FBI and DHS said there do not appear to be credible or immediate
threats of violence attached to the letters.
The group behind the letters has a "Restore America Plan" that calls
for the removal of any governor who fails to comply, the intelligence
note said.
While DHS has no information that the removal refers to a specific
plan for violence, "law enforcement should be aware that this could be
interpreted as a justification for violence or other criminal
actions," the note said.
Other steps in the group's plan include "establishing bogus courts,
calling of 'de jure' grand juries, and issuing so-called 'legal
orders' to gain control of the state," the note said.
States that have acknowledged receiving the letters include Wisconsin,
Oklahoma, Utah, Arkansas, Maine, Colorado, Rhode Island, Michigan,
Georgia, Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas,
Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio and Nevada.
Officials in Pennsylvania and Illinois did not say whether they had
received a letter. Officials in Maryland and Idaho said the governors'
offices there did not receive such a letter.
Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons received one letter Monday and three more
Wednesday, including one by fax, said his chief of staff, Robin Reedy.
The group behind the letters does not believe there should be a
federal government, Reedy said.
The letters were not handwritten but did have some handwritten
signatures, Reedy said Thursday.
The office had been warned in advance to be on the lookout for the
letter, she said.
Gibbons' office stepped up security at the Nevada Capitol in Carson
City after receiving the letters.
Everyone had to enter through one entrance, and an X-ray machine and
metal detector were brought in.
Boulders were placed in front of the Capitol so vehicles could not
drive close to the building.
The governor hadn't seen the letters because he had been in Las Vegas
for a few days, Reedy said.
