Does not surprise me a bit. They should have gotten their names and filed a suit against the Secret Service itself.
A similar deal happened a few years back. I was trimming the hedges on a Sunday afternoon and a young nerdy looking fellow poke his head over the hedge and began commenting on the property etc... I asked him to get tothe point as i was busy, so he introduced himself as being a campaign manager for 'Peace Action West'. He explained their cause to me and I politely declined anymore information from him which angered the nerd and he began his anti-Bush tirade while attempting to put flyers in my mail box. I told him he was not my letter carrier and to keep his garbage out of my mail box.
A couple of weeks later I began to get mailings from his organization and others like green peace, the Sierra club and even PETA. I asked my letter carrier to not deliver such mail, but he said he had to deliver what is addressed. It seems the little nerd put me on many liberal mailing lists which took me time and effort to get off of. But the ones from Peace Action West kept coming along with late night telephone solicitations. Ten O'clock at night this same fellow called me pretending to be someone else. I told him plain and simple that if he did not knock this off that I knew where his office in Berkely was and I would pay him a visit...
The nonsense did not stop, so off to Berkely i went. Their office was about the size of my closet and was a one man operation, ran by the nerd himself. I entered the office and pulled the one chair in front of the doorway which alarmed the Nerd who then stood up behind his desk. I told him to relax and that we needed to talk. He then pretended to not know who i was and asked me what i wanted. I simply told him to knock off his games. That i wanted no more calls at night or ever and no more more mailings. He tried to lie about it, but i assured him that the phone company was keeping tabs on the calls now and if i kept getting them then they would file a report on my behalf. He then bagan to squirm a bit and said it was a mis-understanding and he would look into it. I told him he was a liar! That he was a one man operation and he was the one on the phone and tojust be a man about it and quit playing games. Then he accused me of threatening him by confronting him in person. I told to to take it for what it is worth and that my presence there was because he did not cease and desist at my request over the phone.
These fanatics do not like to be told no. They take it personally and then begin a vendetta in some situations.
