EXTREMISTS TO GOVS: RESIGN OR BE REMOVED:

FBI Warns Letters Could Provoke Violence

— Devlin Barrett, Associated Press — April 2, 2010—WASHINGTON

— The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group’s call to remove governors from office could provoke violence.

The group called the Guardians of the Free Republics wants to “restore America” by peacefully dismantling parts of the government, according to its Web site. It sent letters to governors demanding they leave office or be removed…

As of Wednesday, more than 30 governors had received letters saying if they don’t leave office within three days they will be removed, according to an internal intelligence note by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The note was obtained by The Associated Press…

… The FBI associated the letter with “sovereign citizens,” most of whom believe they are free from all duties of a U.S. citizen, like paying taxes or needing a government license to drive. A small number of these people are armed and resort to violence, according to the intelligence report.

Last weekend, the FBI conducted raids on suspected members of a Christian militia in the Midwest that was allegedly planning to kill police officers. In the past year, federal agents have seen an increase in “chatter” from an array of domestic extremist groups, which can include radical self-styled militias, white separatists or extreme civil libertarians and sovereign citizens.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SEARCH:

Update on Nebraska Plane Crash

— Earlier this week, the Civil Air Patrol found a missing single engine plane that took off from Chamberlain, headed for Omaha.

The plane that crashed Sunday night was found in northeastern Nebraska, and resulted in the death of the two people on board. But before the aircraft was found, a lot of people put in a lot of work.

“At first it was a little nerve wracking, because it was my first mission, but then as I came here and started doing everything we were supposed to, it wasn’t really thinking, it was just doing,” said Cadet Chief Master Sergeant Elizabeth Foy.

Cadet Chief Master Sergeant Elizabeth Foy got the call early in the morning, right before she headed off to school at O’Gorman High School.

But, once she arrived at the Sioux Falls Civil Air Patrol headquarters, all her training started to kick in.

“It’s more of you need to get it done faster, there’s no goofing off… As part of the ground team, it was making sure we were looking at all times outside the window making sure all the leaders stayed on track,” said Foy.

… “Yes I’m a sophomore in High School but I can make a difference, so that’s really the greatest part for me,” said Foy…
