Several GOP officials from the same area in Arizona have resigned following last week's shooting rampage in Tucson, including a district chairman who said threats from local tea party members caused him to be worried for the safety of himself and his family.
Anthony Miller, 43, stepped down earlier this week as chair of Republican District 20 after his wife expressed concerns about "constant verbal attacks" against him since helping Sen. John McCain win reelection in November, The Arizona Republic reported.
"I wasn't going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday," Miller told The Huffington Post Wednesday. "I love the Republican Party but I don't want to take a bullet for anyone."
District spokesman Jeff Kolb also quit, citing the threats against Miller.

You must understand that these are elitists with a guilty conscience.
Or maybe you can cite e.g. their votes to cut off war funding, history of opposition to the Iraq War and their votes against job outsourcing and the bankers bailouts?
