Death Threat Taped to GOP Sen. Heller's Office Door
By Cathy Burke   |   Monday, 17 Jul 2017 05:02 PM

A death threat was reportedly taped to the office door of Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., warning if he voted for the Obamacare repeal bill, the author would lose his healthcare and die — and that he would take Heller with him.

Police responded to the GOP senator's office in Las Vegas on Sunday morning after a burglary alarm was triggered, The Nevada Independent reported.

I wonder who the scoundrel is who would do such a thing?

An interesting link here on Heller's record, must be a democrat website:

1.The Polling: Senator Heller is underwater and unpopular with voters of every political persuasion.

Senator Heller has consistently shown an underwater favorability rating in publicly available polling.

2. On Healthcare: Heller in a “no-win situation” with a record of spiking costs and slashing coverage for the middle class. 

Sen. Heller’s legislative actions in the Senate contribute to his vulnerability, as well.  He has voted repeatedly to kick 200,000 Nevadans off Medicaid, deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, and bring back lifetime caps.

Looks like he is in a bit of a lose-lose situation.

I'm beginning to think I would prefer we simply just let slip the dogs of war and get this over with.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
