I don't know if the above article is already posted, but I want the first hand account spread far and wide. A friend in Texas sent this to me today:

On Wednesday the 1st of October I received a call on my cell while in the car with my husband. It was a woman who identified herself as calling from the Obama Campaign. The phone # she called from was 903-798-6020 which lists as "Obama Volunteers of Texarkana" ( Texas ).

She asked if I was an Obama supporter to which I replied:

"No, I don't support him, your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the State Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time." I hung up.

Thursday, October 2, I answered the front door to find the Secret Service. Immediately I thought of the call and was furious that apparently you are not allowed to call Obama a Socialist without the Secret Service coming to investigate. Instead, they asked me about the following comment, relayed by the Obama Volunteer of Texarkana who called me, unsolicited on my cell phone:

"I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor." My husband laughed and told them "No, she called him a socialist but she never said a word about him dying." I gave them my actual quote. The woman asked insolently "Oh? Well why would she make that up?" I replied that I supposed she wasn't happy about what I said about her candidate and the Agent said "That's right, you were rude!" The last time I checked being rude wasn't a crime in America .

Luckily the big file they had gathered on me didn't indicate mental instability or a past life of stalking/crime, however they did want to know how I felt about Obama. That was my limit. I told the Agent in no uncertain terms that my thoughts were not pertinent to their investigation, that this was America and the last time I checked I was allowed to think whatever I wanted without being questioned by the Secret Service. In fact, even if I had said what she claimed, that isn't a threat. I told them (again) and my husband verified that the statement reported by Obama's volunteer was a lie. I asked them if there was a tape of the call and they said no. I said, "So on the word of a ticked off Obama supporter you are on my porch with no other evidence and you want to question me about my THOUGHTS!?" They informed me that there was no evidence she was an Obama supporter…someone calling from his campaign…are you kidding?

I was not allowed to know the name of my accuser at which point they informed me that it wasn't like I was in a court of law, YET, as if this was a good thing. I recognized this as a veiled threat. I told them I would happily go to court since I did nothing wrong and at least then my accuser would have to face me rather than sending the thought police to my house. They then said they were trying to do me a favor, that they came to me first before "embarrassing you by going to all your neighbors and family", another threat? I told them to be my guest and talk to whomever they wanted but they weren't going to investigate my thoughts on my porch.

They also informed me that it would be easier if the next time a supporter calls me I just say "Yeah sure count me in, or just hang up" apparently so she won't get her undies in a bundle and give them more useless trips. Yeah right. I said "Look, someone calls me unsolicited on my cell phone to ask me to support their candidate and I can't tell them why I don't?" I said I was sorry they made a wasted trip but if they had a problem with some made up lie they needed to go talk to her about it because it wasn't my fault they had to drive from Houston for nothing.

At one point I went inside and got a notepad to record their badge numbers and they refused to show me their badges. They had done the quick flip when they arrived. I asked for a card and the female Agent refused to give me one stating "You're not going to get a card." The male Agent gave me a card and told me I could contact Houston with any questions. The fact that the volunteer lied, the fact that the Secret Service came to my house to question me about my thoughts and feelings and threaten to embarrass me to my neighbors and go to court if I didn't cooperate is not really the tragedy here. Because that girl on the phone doesn't have the pull to send the Secret Service to my home. Someone high in the ranks of a campaign working for a man who may be the next President of the United States of America felt comfortable bringing the force of the Federal Government to bear on a private citizen on nothing but the word of a partisan volunteer. I want to file a counter complaint that false charges were made, that a false report was given to a peace officer. The Secret Service told me I cannot because they will protect the identity of the complainant. I also want the file they have on me destroyed and I want to know that my phone isn't tapped, etcetera. I am hearing a lot of "Out of my Jurisdiction". Do I also hear jackboots?

One glance up at the yellow jacket nests on the ceiling of my front porch stops a lot of BS conversations.

Any man or woman that stays to talk has a clue and earns a little respect.

Everyone else, I run off.

My lawyer says that unless I'm paying to talk to someone, they don't have my best interests in mind.

Lawyer up and shut up.

This could even create problems within the Secret Service when it comes down to going after even the most nonsense complaints and the resentment of being used.

Anyone have the Secret Service kick in their door yet for this:

I didn’t think so (it would violate some free speech principle that is never extended to conservatives.)

I was born in Lufkin and live 50 miles down the road now. This doesn’t surprise me.

Actually, she does. The USSS investigates ALL tips of potential threats to those under its protection.

However, the filing of false charges is also taken extremely seriously (if not moreso) ... because it pulls Agents off of other tasks that might involve real threats. I'd suggest this lady file complaints and pursue them vigorously.

My best advice would be to contact the FBI or the US Marshals service.

Thanks for posting. I wonder how many more ‘intimidation by straw man’ investigations Obama’s minions have going all over the US. I hope this story goes nationwide. I do believe the Secret Service met their match with this patriot in Lufkin.

Seeds being planted by Obama and company for a second, bloody civil war, one in which would make the first one look like a day at the beach.

Piggyback ping! Important ping, Meek.

The Feds seemed deliberately intimidating to me [noting post 1]. Refused to give badge numbers or cards. Made veiled threats.

What ticked the Zero supporter off:

“She asked if I was an Obama supporter, to which I replied, ‘No, I don’t support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.’ (And then) I hung up.”

[The most unreliable ping list in the forum. Want off? Please feel free to cuss me out.

Want on my ping list? Just ‘ax’.]
