I read the specifics of the law, here:
The first part deals with threats. Now these should be illegal.
But the last part of the law deals with "insults." Basically, the way it is worded they can arrest people who send e-mails to a politician if the politician feels "insulted."
So you can be prosecuted for telling a politician to go to Hell.

Bob,
I assumed threats were already illegal so I wasn't concerned about that. But I think if you want to tell your governor he acts like a buffoon -- you should not be arrested.
I am afraid we are slip sliding into the same muzzled speech they have in the UK. I saw a video the other day by a guy who was saying people couldn't complain about the politicians who chose not to see the massive child rape rings operating in England without being arrested.
Taking away consrltitutional rights is a slippery slope.
