2 Arrested for Healthcare-Linked Threats to Dem. Lawmakers
----------------------------------------------------------



In California, a San Francisco resident has been arrested for allegedly
making threatening statements to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the
healthcare reform bill. The suspect, 
Gregory Lee Giusti, is expected to appear in court today. His arrest
comes one day after the arrest of a Washington state man for making
threatening phone calls to Democratic Senator Patty Murray. Pelosi and
Murray are the latest of over a dozen lawmakers to receive threats for
their support of the healthcare bill.
