Secret Service visits Lufkin woman because of Obama campaign volunteer

Subject: Secret Service On My Steps TRUE STORY OF MY NEIGHBOR IN IDLEWOOD

Dear Friends: We have had some interesting things going on our street
this week but this ‘takes the cake’. The election is less than a month
away – people need to be aware of this information of the tactics that have
been used this week on my neighbor. This is not a political agenda I am on,
this is a matter of principle. She is not a ‘mental case nor political
activist’ just your everyday young Mom with small children and a husband out
of the military. If this is the kind of ‘change’ Mr. Obama is referring to,
we are definitely in for more than what has met the eye. What has happened
here is not only appalling but frightening to think we may no longer have
the freedom to speak against ‘the powers that be’ without the Secret Service
showing up at your door. Keeping in mind, there is no taped conversation -
simply a disgruntled volunteer who was not getting the response she was
looking for. Jessica has contacted several politicians and news
organizations – some who have told her ‘this is out of my jurisdiction’.
Please! Enough is enough – I for one will stand behind this young woman and
notify every person I can possibly think of to make people aware of this
travesty! I hope you will forward this on as well to as many people as you
possibly can – especially to our elected officials and news organizations.
Feel free to email me for verification.

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?
