The Capitol was locked down late Tuesday after the FBI advised the governors of all 50 states they would be receiving letters from an extremist group demanding their resignations.

What would they do after they get control?
MARK THOMPSON: How are your wife and kids? How’s your safety? ... With all of this stuff going on, have you been on the other end of any of this foolishness, these threats?
REP. GRAYSON: Yeah, yeah, when I was in Washington, D.C., last week, a woman called my home. I’ve got five kids, and I have twins who are 5 years old. One of the 5-year-olds hit the speaker button on the phone when it was ringing, and she said, "If you vote for health care, I’ll kill you." And my son went over to my wife and said, "There’s a lady on the phone who said she’s going to kill me." He thought that she was talking about him.
MARK THOMPSON: Yeah, this is crazy. And they’re suggesting ... the Republicans are defending themselves by saying this is happening on both sides. This is not happening on both sides.
REP. GRAYSON: Well, I think that’s what they said about the burning of the Reichstag, if I recall correctly.

The interesting this is that you believe they are being threatened in a manor that they don't normally. This is just a ploy to set up and or test the system. Of course they are scared, look what they have done. You don't think they saw this coming? This was all written down a while ago, we just have the fun of playing through it.

Not only were six of the seven doors into the building locked down, a buildings and grounds crew used heavy equipment to strategically place large boulders at the ungated entrances to the Capitol grounds, blocking vehicles but allowing pedestrian access.

I don't think a letter threat will thwart the Nevada Capitol with that type of lock down..... These civil groups who are advocating the overthrow of the government will not succeed without US military support, if they want political control of our modern day government, it will only come by a US military coup d'état.
Perhaps you should research the website at your leisure www.gotfr.com
As the story goes, The Provost Marshall has been in contact with these folks for some time. They were told they could not act till there was some kind of action and documentation taken by the People themselves, as the source of government power. “Consent of the governed” and all that. 1,300 people voicing specific concerns, providing documented evidence of their concerns and stating they did not give consent was the impetus for any involvement. The Provost basically told them what was needed and sparked the idea.
