Gregory Giusti of San Francisco allegedly called Speaker Nancy Pelosi at least 48 times over a seven week period and in one voicemail left at her Washington home warned,"If you like your home in , don't vote for the healthcare bill," according to an affidavit supporting the criminal complaint unsealed today.

Giusti, 48, is charged with making harassing and threatening telephone calls to a government official. During an initial appearance in federal court in San Francisco today Giusti wept but did not make any remarks.

Pelosi told agents that in one case she picked up the phone in her Washington home and Giusti "used extremely vulgar and crude language and threatened her, stating 'when you go back to California you won't have a home to go back to,'" the complaint alleges.

This section of the complaint details the broad allegations:

Giusti made the alleged calls using an Internet phone service called Magic Jack. During one call to Pelosi's San Francisco district office, Giusti allegedly claimed, "and the number I'm calling from is untraceable so if you're trying to trace it have fun." Authorities did so nevertheless.
