To: Rep. John Boehner, Majority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives; Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader, U.S House of Representatives, TO WIT: WHEREAS Congressman Mike Caputo of Massachusetts has publicly called upon groups of persons to "get out in the streets and get a little bloody;" and, WHEREAS these remarks were made in response to specific events (e.g. the Public Employee Collective Bargaining controversy); and, WHEREAS this said controversy is a highly emotional issue which has prompted a condition wherein large numbers of opposing demonstrators are and will be present in proximity to each other, each group exercising its Constitutional right to freedom of assembly and petition; and, WHEREAS this said condition is potentially volatile; and, WHEREAS the said remarks might rationally be construed as\ incitement to riot; and, WHEREAS such incitement, offered by a less-privileged person, would render that person liable to arrest; then, THEREFORE, we voting citizens of the United States, mindful of Congressman Caputo's responsibility to "preserve the domestic tranquillity," a responsibility he has by the said public incitement willfuly abandoned, DO RESPECTFULLY PETITION THE LEADERSHIP OF THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES to Censure Congressman Caputo in the strongest terms.

Ridiculous that a sitting member of congress would say something like that. If any of us said that we would be cuffed immediately. Hold him to the same standard as everyone else.

Totally unacceptable behavior from an elected official. He needs to realize he represents everyone not just the people who agree with him. Censure him now.
