Threatening Letter signed by "Jameela"

From Eric Dondero:

State Senator Greg Ball has been a firebrand in the New York State Senate since his election in 2006. Ball was Tea Party anti-tax advocate, before there even was a Tea Party.

From his website:

More than a year before the nation first Tea Party, Greg Ball hosted a tax revolt that led to a reduction in the proposed increase of sales and property taxes for local taxpayers. Greg also led the charge against the unfair Condo Tax and has been a solid advocate fighting for the repeal of the horrific MTA Payroll tax.

He has hosted numerous Tax Protest and Pro-Gun Rights rallys ever since.

But he has received criticisms from liberal camps in New York for his tough-on-terrorism stance and support for Israel. Now those criticisms have taken a darker turn.

From the Poughkeepsie Journal "State Sen. Ball targeted with package 'full of hate'" April 13:

A suspicious package sent to Sen. Greg Ball containing a stuffed Curious George monkey pinned with Stars of David and a vicious, anti-Semitic and racially charged screed left the Republican undaunted, saying he will continue pushing forward with his agenda on national security.

"A threat like this I let law enforcement do their job," said Ball, R-Carmel, Tuesday night. "Letters that do keep me up at night are from rank-and-file law enforcement and personnel worried about weaknesses in security."

State police responded at 1:05 p.m. to Ball's office in Albany's Legislative Office Building Tuesday where they said they found the package that also contained a vial with an unknown substance. The Albany Fire Department Hazardous Materials team transported the contents to a Department of Health laboratory for analysis, according to police. An investigation is ongoing.

The letter signed by Jameela Barnette with kind regards accused Ball, a Catholic, of being a Jew-worshipping, Muslim hater.

Sen. Ball is an Air Force veteran. He was first elected in 2006, beating a 6-term Democrat incumbent. He is best known for having led the fight against then Gov. Eliot Spitzer's effort to allow illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses. Ball received nationwide media attention and a huge number of YouTube hits for that effort.
