Just a reminder to everyone to be careful about what you write or say about government officials:
Here's some law:
"...Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."
There was a fellow living in a small town near me who wrote a letter to the editor (Chattanooga Times Free Press) criticizing Pres. Bush a bit to sharply, and he got visited last week by the Secret Service and local deputies.
So, watch it.
