'Suspicious package' sent to Rep. Blackburn's office was empty envelope, police say

WASHINGTON – The “suspicious package” found at U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s office Monday turns out to have been an empty envelope, Clarksville police said Wednesday.
Blackburn, a Republican representing the Nashville suburbs whose district until recently included parts of Shelby County, on Monday strongly hinted that the package was sent to intimidate in response to positions she has taken on public policy matters as a member of Congress. Blackburn has been in the forefront of efforts to delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act that some call Obamacare.
“These are divisive times,” she said in a prepared statement Monday. “While every citizen is entitled to their opinion and their first amendment right to voice their concerns, they are not afforded the right to disruption and personal harm. However hot the rhetoric, there should never be a reason to resort to a threat of violence as a means to convey your concerns.”
Evidently the sender had no opinion, hot or cold.
