House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement today in response to death threats made against Democrats and vandal attacks on Democratic offices:

“I know many Americans are angry over this health care bill, and that Washington Democrats just aren’t listening. But, as I’ve said, violence and threats are unacceptable. That’s not the American way. We need to take that anger and channel it into positive change. Call your Congressman, go out and register people to vote, go volunteer on a political campaign, make your voice heard – but let’s do it the right way.”
