Brooksville, Florida - Captiol Police and the Hernando County Sheriff's Office are investigating a death threat against U.S. Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite. The voicemail left at the Hernando County Republican's district office in Brooksville said, "Just wanna let you know I have 27 people that are going to make sure that this b***h does not live to see her next term. Good-bye." A news release from Brown-Waite's office says investigators are subpoenaing telephone records. Brown-Waite wishes to have the caller "prosecuted to the full extent of the law." A spokesperson at Brown-Waite's Washington, D.C. office says the congresswoman will not be doing interviews about the threat, and will not release the audio of the voicemail to the public. However, Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite did release this statement: "There are laws that state threatening a Federal official is a serious crime. No one should take these death threats lightly. I will find the person who threatened to kill me and insure that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." A number of Democrats have received threats since the passage of health care reform, but Brown-Waite is believed to be the first Repbulican. She voted against the plan. On the House floor this morning, GOP Congressman Mike Pence said passage of the bill that President Barack Obama signed into law earlier this week, is "no excuse for bigotry, threats or acts of vandalism." Referring to a number of incidents, including threatening phone calls and bricks thrown through the windows of Democratic offices, Joseph Pitts says "this is not the right way to respond." The Pennsylvania Republican is a leading anti-abortion lawmaker. Barney Frank calls the threats and violence an attempt to "hijack the debate" over health care. The Massachusetts Democrat says he's glad Republican leaders are denouncing it, but adds "they were very late to do that." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says while such acts "have no place in a civil debate," she rejects suggestions that they "sprang from the comments" of Republican lawmakers. She also vowed not to let vandalism and hate-mongering distract the work of Congress.
