Extremist group demands governors resign, FBI saysBy the CNN Wires Staff
April 2, 2010 11:08 a.m. EDT

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.

Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Utah, Arkansas, Maine, Colorado, Rhode Island and Nevada are among the states that have received the letters.

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.

    its funny how these groups resort to threatening people in government when they don't get their way. when we had bush forced onto us by the supreme court you did not see liberal militias threatening governors or threatening to kill anyone or blow anything up...we bent over and took it for 8 years...

    these militias and these anti government groups are a joke...

    it is treasonous and seditious behavior...and when someone finally does get killed it will be too late...the feds should crack down on these fuckers now before it gets out of hand...

    These groups aren't a secret. They're part of FreedomWorks, Dick Armey's Tea Party movement to overthrow the U.S. government now that the Democrats are in charge. Armey and his followers need to be careful of what they wish for because I'm sure Armey is familar with what a declaration of a state of national emergency would mean for President Obama.

    Deserves to be threatened to be taken by force? Really?
    If it has really gotten that bad, it sounds like Illinois is populated by nothing but a bunch of imbiciles that don't know how to vote.

    What's the matter, afraid the public will see the Tea Party for what it truly represents!!! A group of fundamentalist, radical extremists who hide behind God and their twisted sense self patriotism.

    You took a decent idea and allowed it to evolved into just another terrorist style organization with a treasonist mindset to overthrow a government, through acts of intimidation, suicide murders, and calls for mass murder of government officials. You people need to put down the flag and pull out your turbans.
