Wingnuts demand resignation of 30 governors

A wingnut group of tax protestors has sent letters to 30 governors demanding that they resign -- or that they will be removed. CNN doesn't say which states, but they mention Nevada. A quick Google news search identifies Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah as states where governors received a letter from the "Guardians of the Free Republics."

The FBI and DHS are downplaying the threats in the letters, and I haven't seen the text leaked online anywhere. But I'll call a spade a spade and assert that, when a group says that the governor of a state will be "removed" and they don't use the phrase voted out of office, what we're talking about is an organization of domestic terrorists.
