One of the names mentioned in the document is Charles Griffith Ferry.  
If you look him up on Facebook his account profile states he 
"Practically gave rise to the TEA Party movement. and also the Reform 
Party, as a Presidential hopeful."  Like Alicia said, these could be 
victims themselves.  But we should keep an eye on this situation and any 
information as things develop would be good.  Thanks!

In Liberty,
Brent Olsen
Region 4 Alternate
