You Will Never Sleep Through the Night Again - Threat to Dem Kathy Dahlkemper

[RamboLiberal]

A threatening note addressed to Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper, D-Erie, was received by the Armstrong County Comissioner's office.

The note read, in part, "You will never sleep through the night again."

Ms. Dahlkemper, a member of the so-called "Stupak Seven" group of Congressional Democrats that was hesitant to vote for the health care bill because of their opposition to public funding for abortions, ultimately voted for the legislation.

"Regrettably, my office has received a number of emails, letters, faxes and phone calls that are threatening or menacing in nature as a result of my vote in favor of health care reform," said Ms. Dahlkemper in a statement. "Most of these communications cannot be sourced; while some are coming from Western Pennsylvania, the majority of these inappropriate communications do not originate from my constituents."

She holds constituent hours twice a month at the Armstrong County Commisioner's office. The county District Attorney's office notified Ms. Dahlkemper's staff about the note and reported it to law enforcement.

U.S. Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper's offices in Erie and Washington, D.C., have received threatening phone calls, e-mails, letters and faxes due to the congresswoman's vote for health-care reform.

One threatening letter addressed to Dahlkemper has been turned over to police in Armstrong County, where the congresswoman holds office hours for constituents, spokeswoman Marie Francis said.

In part, that letter read: "You will never sleep through the night again.''

Francis said the other communications haven't reached a point to which the office needs to call authorities.

1. Also Mahoning (OH) County Rep John Boccieri

U.S. Reps. John Boccieri of Alliance, D-16th, who grew up and lived most of his life in Mahoning County; and Kathy Dahlkemper of Erie, Pa., whose district includes a portion of Mercer County, said they received threats.

“Having flown missions in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan, I know what it’s like to be in harm’s way,” said Boccieri, an Air Force Reserve pilot based at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna. “But I never imagined serving in Congress could feel the same.”

Dahlkemper said: “Regrettably, my office has received a number of e-mails, letters, faxes and phone calls that are threatening or menacing in nature as a result of my vote in favor of health-care reform.”
