In blogs, interviews and e-mails, "birthers" around the country are reporting surveillance and visits from the U.S. Secret Service, whose agents have questioned – or, as some report, intimidated – them over their insistence that Barack Obama prove his constitutional eligibility to serve as president.
As WND reported, Stephen Pidgeon, an attorney for Washington state plaintiffs challenging Obama's eligibility, grew suspicious in March when his wife and coworkers reported being shadowed by police and three, black SUVs.
"We are definitely under surveillance and it's coordinated with Homeland Security," Pidgeon alleged.
In November, Dale Laudenslager, a member of the American Grand Jury movement's attempt to have Obama indicted for fraud and even treason, reported on The JAG Hunter blog more direct confrontation: an unannounced home visit by a Pennsylvania state police officer and two Secret Service agents.
"They came in regard to the criminal complaint I sent to the FBI and the fact that [Obama] is going to be in a town very close by," Laudenslager writes. "I told them I had no violent intentions, but we do intend to remove [Obama] from office through the court system. I handed them the AGJ presentments. I told them they have been mailed or hand delivered to courts and public officials all over this country. They seemed satisfied, took a copy of the presentments, left their cards and left."

“The SS is very limited in it’s reach. It’s assignment, correct me if I am wrong, is to protect the POTUS and the former POTUS’s from physical harm. Period.”
This is incorrect. They have broader responsibilities that I can’t discuss here.
Watch out — you may be next!
Whyyyyy meeeeeeee? Oh nooooooooo
I'm not even a birther, I'm only a lowly ghoster.
Your friendly Ghoster
They can watch me all they want, but it would be a waste of time and resources.
It’s a Bizarro William Rivers Pitt.
Not surprising considering the sensitivity of the topic.
I was thinking about the Secret Service the other day... How can they honestly be willing to take a bullet to protect this clown president?
Ghastly!
Roger that.
Funny that you mention it because a great majority of Americans don't believe he is qualified to be president. All he has to do is provide his REAL legitimate birth certificate for verification. Obama's is locked up tighter than the secret recipe for KFC chicken. What other conclusion is the average American to make knowing the "secrecy" invoked that could so easily be proven by Obama for all to know once and for all? It's such an easy thing for him to do, but he has such a large investment in that closely guarded secret vault.....with all those secret documents - not a one of them available for ANYONE to see.
Doesn't anyone remember how the press dug for GWB's military records? How is this request for documentation any different? Answer - it isn't!
Wrong department correct me if I am wrong.
If these government drones had any integrity or honor, they would refuse to intimidate US citizens for asking simple and innocuous questions.
But no, they instead choose to harass American citizens in exchange for Obama's thirty pieces of silver.
They have sold their souls to Satan, and they are way out of line to intimidate the American people like this.
Hey SS, come on over to my place boys. I’ll fill you in on why your boss is really not your boss, but a fraud and a marxist quisling. Then you can remove the bastard by dragging him out by his ears.
Fair enough. But they are limited in numbers, and cannot keep track of the whole nation. Correct me with solid info if I am wrong.
What’s the mission for the Secret Service? To protect the president of the United States from physical harm.
It’s not to go after political rivals or his critics because they give him grief over his policies, or even if they think he has usurped the office and if they are seeking peaceful means to bring about the truth that may lead to his removal of office.
It’s possible the SS gets pressure from the White House to go after their political adversaries that they satisfy their political bosses and may proceed with a perfunctory investigation even if they do not see a physical threat to the president.
People have forgotten that point you made. It can not be mentioned enough, puts things into perspective.
It must be racist or that thingy called carbon footprint.
Whoever is watching, please, I didn't mean anything about any other footprint on any other possible birth certificate.
Yeah, just for the record, I don't want to run afoul of any body snatchers. Wow, frightful! A little Ghoster
LOLOLOLOLOL
Hey, the government has already made me an extremist. I don’t believe Bam was born in the USA. Might as well add that to the list.
I haven’t been here long enough to really “know” you, but....
I REALLY like you.
These are not recent visits from the SS, they go back months, some as far back as last spring.
