Pittsburgh Tibune Review
"
HARRISBURG — A Cranberry lawmaker yesterday demanded answers from the Rendell administration on why a taxpayer-financed bulletin intended to identify terror-related threats included two Capitol rallies he organized this year.
"This is the type of activity you hear so many people talk about when they say what they think is wrong with government," said Republican Rep. Daryl Metcalfe.
Metcalfe's annual Second Amendment rally, which attracts gun owners from across the state, was mentioned in an April bulletin to state Homeland Security officials by the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response, a York-based nonprofit paid $103,000 by the state.
"Pennsylvania militia groups apparently are planning on attending" the event, the institute warned, and law enforcement might have to provide "crowd control." The protest was peaceful and there was no evidence of militia groups attending.
State Homeland Security Director James F. Powers Jr. declined to be interviewed, said spokeswoman Maria Finn.

Tap their phones and put them in camps Get them before they get us .. Uhh ..wait a minute that is us.
