The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group's call to remove governors from office could provoke violence. The group called the Guardians of the free Republics wants to "restore America" by peacefully dismantling parts of the government, according to its Web site. It sent letters to governors demanding they leave office or be removed.So far 30 governors have received letters, and the FBI expects all fifty U.S. governors to receive them in time.
The FBI has "no specific knowledge of plans to use violence, but they caution police to be aware in case other individuals interpret the letters as a 'justification for violence or other criminal actions.'"
The Guardians of the free Republics' website states over and over their goals are to be reached by non-violent means. Though, I don't know how the Guardians of the free Republics think "three days or else" is supposed to be interpreted.
