We are all too well aware that anyone who pushes the "status quo" too far in some people's eyes is at risk of extremests reacting violently. One need only point to Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy. Now the McCain/Palin campaign is whipping crowds into a frenzy, falsely leading them to believe that Sen. Obama is associated with terrorists and other despicable comments. We all have to be very concerned about Sen. Obama's safety, when crowd members shout out things like "Kill him!" Below is the text of a message we all need to send to our Senators and Representatives, as well as a link to when you can find their addresses. We need to demand that the Secret Service do its job and take action. Please send your e-mails right now!

URGENT!!
Dear [Senator/Representative] [insert name]: I am very concerned about the McCain/Palin campaign increasingly whipping crowds into more and more hostile reactions against Senator Obama. Recently, crowd members have been yelling out things like "Kill him!" during Palin speeches. I'm very concerned about Senator Obama's safety. Why isn't the Secret Service doing something about this? Why aren't the people making these death threats being arrested and interrogated. I ask that you immediately demand that the Secret Service investigate these threats and arrest the people making these threats, using available video tapes of the Palin campaign events.
I would like a written response (at least by e-mail) of what the Secret Service is doing about these threats to Senator Obama, who is on course to become our next President. We must make sure he is safe and secure.
This is urgent and the need for action is immediate!
Thank you.
