The tone has changed in e-mails this Vermont town has been receiving on its proposal to issue warrants for the arrests of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Now, more people are supporting the resolution.
Brattleboro's town offices have been flooded with 7,000 e-mails
since its selectboard voted Jan. 25 to include the item on its Town
Meeting Day agenda.
Some of the earliest messages received were so full of vitriol
that town officials said they were worried for their safety. Some
writers called Brattleboro a bastion of "liberal appeaser wimps"
and "wackjobs" for even considering the warrants.
Town Manager Barbara Sondag said any threatening emails are
passed along to the police, although she said Tuesday that the
nasty messages have subsided, replaced by ones supportive of the
resolution.
Sondag's office is reviewing every e-mail received and the issue
is taking up 60 percent of her workers' time.
