I had heard some weeks ago about some St. Louis, Missouri, prosecutors who decided they didn't like the ads being run against Barack Obama. They issued a proclamation that anyone running ads that didn't meet with their approval would be prosecuted. They later backed down a bit from that stance when they were reminded what the First Amendment is all about.
Yesterday, I received an email about Jessica Hughes of Lufkin, Texas. She received one of those annoying phone calls soliciting her support for Obama. She told the Obama volunteer that she would never support a man who "left babies to die on hospital floors." She suggested the Obama volunteer find something better to do with her time.
The next day, the secret service showed up at her door. Her words had been reported to them as "Obama will wind up dead on a hospital floor." According to what she has to say, they were threatening and intimidating (which she didn't fall for). She asked the agents if they had a recording of the conversation. They did not. She is appalled that she could be investigated for merely being rude on an unsolicited phone call, and they don't even have proof of that. I agree -- if being rude to telemarketer type calls is going to start getting you into trouble, I'm just going to have to keep a lawyer on retainer.
If Obama is doing all this before he's elected, doesn't it scare you just a little to think what he will do when he has some real power? Our freedoms are in jeopardy, and we better wake up!
