WASHINGTON (AP) - Indiana Congressman Baron Hill's office has reported to Capitol police receiving several threatening phone calls since he voted in favor of the federal health care overhaul.

Hill spokeswoman Katie Moreau said Thursday she couldn't give details of the threats or specify how many such calls had been received. She said they were a small percentage of the mostly supportive calls to the Democratic Congressman since Sunday's House vote.

The offices of Indiana's four other Democratic Congressmen didn't immediately respond to inquiries on whether they'd received similar threats. They all voted in support of the bill.

Congressional leaders say at least four Democratic offices in New York, Arizona and Kansas have been vandalized and at least 10 members of Congress have reported some sort of threats.
