Could someone protect me?

Give us a good reason and we will.

The only way for that to happen is if he went from one city to another, and they both had the same name. (Traveling from the land of maple sap
Heading far one could say in a way
Ask another, did I travel at all?)

I live in a city in New York(maple syrup) it shares it's name with a town in Wisconsin, if this protect is correct, I can start making a very short list of assassins. Lets give it a try?

Again, I think that Maple syrup is a reference to going to Vermont to track me down.

I don't follow... there are many places that have similar names... and if my guess is right, we're looking for someone who lives in the place the assassinator was going to, not coming from

Sorry for Double Post, but I now present you with....
ROBODUDE'S (not so impresive) List of things He has Figured Out about This Clue (R[nsi]LTHHFOATC)

A minor setback and ahead I ford
Traveling from the land of maple sap
Heading far one could say in a way
Ask another, did I travel at all?

A minor setback and ahead I ford. Ford- to cross across a shallow part of a river, so most likely he is traveling from point A to point B, and they are separated by a river.
Traveling from the land of maple sap- point A is "the land of maple sap", may refer to NY, Canada, or Vermont.
Heading far one could say in a way/Ask another, did I travel at all? How can you travel far, and yet not at all? The best answer that I can think of is that point A and point B have the same name, thus he traveled a great distance while staying in the same city (kinda).

And end of a third is what I may say
Now later, into a trance I did fall
Four fish, a bear, and a snake I did see
I knew this was the next target but how?

End of a third what? Not sure. I think first we need to solve the first stanza. Perhaps these two points are separated by three miles?
Four fish, a bear, and a snake... what could this be? Once again, not sure, but I don't think that it's constellation anymore.

Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated. Let's not let a single person die this round!

EDIT: The land of maple syrup is definitely New York. That's where paleo is from, and we can assume that the assassin is coming from there.

I protect myself because as i was googling along, I ran across an article on the snake river. Upon further investigation, i found that "four fish, a snake, and a bear" could refer to the Snake, Bear, 3 forks of the salmon river, and the Salmon falls creek, most of which are tributaries of the Snake River, and all of which reside in my state.

Seems like sound logic to me. If that's not right I'll probably protect tomorrow.

With that I am filled with disappointment
I thought IdahoSciGuy would be dead
But death and I have a new appointment
And so I stepped on a plane and I fled
As I step off the plane I feel brand new
The light is bright, I gaze up at the sun
It inspires me. And now I know who
Will be first to die yes this is the one
There must be something in this air I breathe
There's nothing I can't do now that I'm here
And I will feel this way until I leave
The clue is here it's something you can hear
Now you have three days to make your protects
So can you determine who will die next?

I think this is where the "clue" part starts.

And, once again, a second part to the clue.

...and the rest.

So we have the sun, something in the air, and something you can hear? Not exactly sure about this one.
