A letter distributed in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland over the weekend asked Oregon Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley to jump off a bridge for Jesus.
According to local news station KOIN 6, the letter asks God to "help Jeff Merkley walk over the Fremont Bridge and jump off into the Willamette River on Christmas Eve."
"Let there be wine & song," the letter read. "every kind of food & drink; let toasts be made and laughter and hugs."
The letter said to be simply from a person named "Hector." One woman reported the letter to Merkley and said she was considering contacting the police about the letter.
Merkley has been an outspoken critic of President Elect Donald Trump's appointment of Stephen K. Bannon as a White House strategist.
Groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee have rallied behind Merkley call for Trump to remove Bannon, according to Oregonlive.com.
