After World War II, trying to explain how good Germans allowed the monstrous evil of the Nazi regime, a pastor recalled that the Nazis came for the communists, and he did nothing; then for the trade unionists, then for the gypsies and Jews; then for the Catholics – and each time he did nothing. When they came for him, none were left to defend him.
Last week, here in America, they came for Jessica Hughes, and I will not be silent. I will not turn away, hoping, in the end, they will not come for me.
Jessica Hughes of Lufkin, Texas, former Marine, mother of three, answered her cell phone in the car, coming home from the emergency room. Her 9-year-old had suffered a mild concussion, but was OK.
The caller was a female Obama volunteer who asked if Jessica would support Obama for president.
Jessica 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." Then Jessica hung up.
The next day, a man and a woman in suits showed up at the door of her home, identifying themselves as members of the Secret Service.
The Secret Service agents stated that the Obama campaign had complained of a death threat. They had quoted Jessica as saying, "I will never support Obama, and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor."
Jessica's husband had heard Jessica's side of the original phone call and verified the actual quote. To which the female agent replied, "Oh? Well why would she (the Obama volunteer) make that up?"

This is truly frightening. Nobody was allowed to criticize the messiah because doing so meant you were a racist; now it seems that any criticism is going to be twisted and distorted to make you look like an enemy of the state. Good for Roger Hedgecock for calling attention to this. It’s the first I’d heard of it.
Yeah, this happened almost a month ago. I was lucky to have stumbled across it.
Here’s another bit from the article:
“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.”
The big question is this, does the girl that made the call still have a job? If so, WHY?
Neh 9:36 . . .and as for the land that Thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it.
Neh 9:37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom Thou hast set over us because of our sins; also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.'
Next time it will be leather coats and they'll identify themselves as members of the Gestapo.
There aren't enough Secret Service to cover 50+ million of us.

I am not prone to conspiracy theories or over reactions but people evil is rising in our time and we have to fight it at every level possible
bttt
From the article
“The pattern is unmistakable. The drumbeat of jackboots echoes now faintly, but persistently, in the fall breeze.
They came for Jessica, and I will not be silent.”
It’s really a shame when someone lies about such a serious matter knowing it will cause a visit from the secret service. I’m glad Jessica’s story is out there for the public to see.
I remember lots of liberals complaining they had the secret service visiting them over things they said about President Bush claiming they did nothing wrong. Isn’t there a couple of people serving some prison time now?
It all boils down this. Our freedom of speech really is monitored and often altered. People have to be brave like Jessica and let the media know if they are being harassed. Jeepers, I wonder if the powers that be snoop here and read our comments? Is the only place our thoughts are safe is in our heads?
ok...hold on here guys.... how do we know they were real secret service agents? When any unknown “agent” of anything comes to my door, I make sure they are legit. Besides asking to see identification, I call an office to verify that they are who they say they are. These idiots might have just been friends of the idiot on the phone, trying to intimidate this woman.
ummmmmmm! I wonder what johnny boy has to say about this????
“You will be Absorbed...Resistance is FUTILE!”
Things like this will continue forever, because there is not enough media coverage. Is there any obligation whatsoever to allow secret service personnel into your home without a warrant (check the 4th Amendment)? Can you take photos of them and post them on the net? Can you record the conversation and send it to your local (or not-so-local) radio station and have it put on air? Are you even under any obligation AT ALL to even waste your time talking to these people with their Gestapo-like methods?
This is a typical case of the word of one person against the word of another person. No phone records? Then why did the secret service act in the way it did? A bit of republican-bashing, maybe? No legal- or other basis! Unconstitutional! Bad!
Jessica’s husband had heard Jessica’s side of the original phone call and verified the actual quote. To which the female agent replied, “Oh? Well why would she (the Obama volunteer) make that up?”
DUH Obama lies why do you think his people would not lie. What a freakin idiot.
The Secret Service agents stated that the Obama campaign had complained of a death threat. They had quoted Jessica as saying, “I will never support Obama, and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor.”
I was a Police Officer and a Correctional Officer for a numner of years. If this would even be the accurate statement I see no death threat in it. If a correct rendition of what the women said it might have been crude but nowhere is there a threat of action to precipatate a death on her part.
Me thinks the SS will be working overtime with the hyper sensitivity that will be afforded Obama because he is black and because he is a socialist
