RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina congressman says his Washington office received a death threat from someone upset with his support for health care reform legislation.

Democratic Rep. Brad Miller told multiple media outlets that the caller told a staff member that the congressman could lose his life because he supports President Barack Obama's health care proposals.

The U.S. Capitol Police confirmed Friday they were looking into a threat against a congressman, but wouldn't provide details.
Also on Friday, hundreds of people from a group called Triangle
Conservatives peacefully protested at Miller's Raleigh office. Miller says he is not listening to the fringes on either side of the issue and is supporting what is best for the people in his district.
