Congressman threatened over health care

WASHINGTON — A North Carolina congressman who supports an overhaul of the health care system had his life threatened.  A caller was upset that he was not holding a public forum on the proposal. 

Democratic Rep. Brad Miller received the call Monday, one of hundreds the congressman's office received that demanding town-hall meetings on the health care proposal, said his spokeswoman, LuAnn Canipe. She said the callers wanted "to instigate town halls so they can show up and disrupt."

"We had one of those kind of calls that escalated to what we considered a threat" on the congressman's life, said Canipe. "These are some strong-arm tactics, and we are trying to deal with and trying to talk to people in good faith about health care reform."
