I know this is lengthy but it, in my opinion, is worth reading:

This story is on the front page of the Lufkin Daily News Today .
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. Jes sica 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.

The Article:
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 Vol unteer 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.&n bsp; 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 but 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?

For you folks that are all freaked out about what Bush has done, just wait 'til Obama gets in office. Scary!

This story is real and here's the link to the newspaper story:

Well, it only makes sense that with all the hate speech & death threats being shouted at McCain/Palin rallies, there will be tightened security around Obama. Guess you reap what you sow!

Yeah, it will be scary when Obama gets in office. Just think that if Obama and his comrades are able to coerce the Secret Service into becoming his own personal KGB, and he’s not even in office yet, how controlling will Obama be once he’s in office? Me thinks this Obama is a despot in-waiting.

What do you mean "there will be"?? Obama has had an army of secret service surrounding him since day one of his announcement. Most feel that this was to send a message re: racial fears that would turn to actions and get the public to sympathize with him. Seems there is a 'tactic/scheme' to everything Mr. Obama does. That is why I have absolutely no trust in the man. NONE!

OH...BTW...ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN 'DEBUNKED'. The secret service has come out and stated that the 'kill him' statement along with others absolutely were not shouted. Now it is theorized that this was something the Obama campaign and others dreamed up to revitilize the race issue. They honestly will not stop at anything to envoke race into this campaign. I don't buy it for a second and am intelligent enough to see what their agenda is and it simply isn't working. It does though show the underhandedness and deceitfulness of the Obama camp. Barack has definitely 'organized his community' well. But..if elected, the 'USA community' will be in for a rude awakening!

If you think the far right is above putting a bullet hole in Obama's head, you have absolutely no sense of history.

History verifies that all it takes is one 'nutcase' to put a bullet in anyone's head. Liberal, Conservative, etc. You name it...it's not about the party when speaking of the unspeakable but...about the person and their mental instability at that moment. Geezzzzzzzz!!

I have to agree with you on this one! My opinion is that only nut jobs would be shouting "kill him"(which I plainly heard)or "terrorist" or "traitor" or dressing up monkeys with Obama clothes, or saying that he would have all "n$#@!@s" in his cabinet, and on & on.

I am new to this site and don't usually blog, but I have a question. klynnrn aren't you blogger who is the mother of an autistic child? I know you have been complaining about the lack of government funding available to help you. Where do you find the time to blog constantly? Where is your child while you blog? If he is being taken care of by someone else while you post your opinion? If so, then it appears to me that you have plenty on time on your hands to find a part-time job and take care of some of those extra expenses you incur yourself. I don't blog or read blogs much because I am too busy earning my own way. Most have issues to deal with; some physical, some emotional, some financial etc. The sad thing about modern Americans is they have forgotten how to care for their own and their own problems. The government is expected to come to everyone's rescue. That is impossible. So I suggest you make better use of your time and find a way to support your child. I may not see your response if you choose to post one. I will probably be too busy earning a living.

Then how can you possibly know how long it takes klynnrn to fulfill her daily blog-quota?

It would appear, proudconservative, that you are a prime candidate to benefit from Obama's Plan to cut taxes for working people. Helping you keep more of your money makes sense, because the ding-dang public servants aka government bureaucrats didn't do anything to deserve it.

I don't know klynnrn, and from what I have read, I do not agree with all the positions she has advocated. However, an unprovoked ad hominem attack on the lady is not likely to convince me, or anyone else to agree with your point of view, proudconservative. If there was a point to your needling, I missed it (unless you are a disgruntled ex... hmmmmm.... possible?) because the "rn" suggests "registered nurse" to me. While you may have a point about modern Americans and their expectations of government largesse, don't forget that currently our tax dollars are also coming to the rescue of corporate suite officers of AIG, Fannie and Freddie, every member of both houses of Congress (no matter how little they do,) as well as Halliburton and all its subsidiaries. Freeloaders are loafing on both extremes of the economic scale. What is your point in singling out klynnrn?

I don't want any benefit from Mr. Obama's tax cuts. (you are mistaken if you actually believe taxes will be cut) John Kennedy said it best "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Sadly Mr. Obama will probably be elected because most voters are only concerned with what's in it for them, not what's best for our nation. I have never been concerned with government assistance programs even though we were far from comfortable most of the time. My husband served two enlistments in the military and could have received a disability upon discharge. He chose not to accept it. He, also, did not use his veteran's benefits to go to college on the government dime. He was paid for his service with the salary he earned while enlisted. He was discharged in the post-Jimmy Carter days of double digit unemployment, double digit inflation and double digit mortgage interest rates. Among many other jobs, I worked as a motel maid for less than minimum wage to take care of our family. Both children attended college without government or Mom and Dad's assistance. They are now working, raising families and paying back their non-subsidised student loans. After over thirty years, my husband and I have very good jobs. I recently graduated suma cum laude with a degree in business. We paid our own way and we have worked our way to a good comfortable life. American is a wonderful land of opportunity for those who choose to work their way up. I have no idea how fast the mother of the authistic child can type, but after hearing about her for a while, I decided to read some of the posts. It seems that she as well as many others has too much time on her hands. She seems opposed to anything good and moral, as do you, including saving millions of innocent babies from being murdered because they don't fit into Mama's plans at the time. That's another reason Mr. Obama is so attractive to many. Their is no wrong in his eyes. Anything goes. Self-centered Americans love that attitude. As I said I will not be on line much longer. I have to get some sleep. My employer expects me to be at work in the morning, and I will not blog on my employer's time.

Aaaaaiiiliieeeee! Wounded me to the quick! Now would you like to quote the post that details my views on the abortion question, sir?

As for the proposed tax cuts by Mr. Obama, I don't believe in the tooth fairy either. No matter how much the taxes are increased on the (unsheltered) income of 1% of the population, it isn't going to be enough to pay for all the entitlement programs Mr. Obama supports, as well as give tax cuts to the middle class.

My point -- please forgive me for making it again -- is that singling out a poster to receive your vitriol for her views, does little to advance your own stand on the issues.

The FBI has already checked the tapes and have stated NO-ONE said "kill him". I also doubt the rest of the above is true as well. Poor monkeys, having to wear that Kenya garb.
