Free Republic

Young veteran really lets a Democratic Congressman have it at a Town Hall,.... this is a case of "Permission to speak freely"...

Here is video of a disabled American Marine Veteran who absolutely took Democrat Rep. Brian Baird of Washington to the woodshed at a Town Hall Meeting on August 18, 2009. David Hedrick is the speaker and he uploaded this video of himself to YouTube . . . . Hedrick told Baird that he is a disabled veteran, and he let him know that it is not his right to decide if he can keep his own health care plan. Hedrick also told Baird, "I kept my oath" to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and asked...

VIDEO: "I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke.

Here is video of Marine Veteran David Hedrick on Fox and Friends talking about his total schooling of Democrat Rep. Brian Baird last week. Hedrick spoke out at a Town Hall Meeting and expressed in just a few words the essence of protests against ObamaCare. . . . . (Watch Fox & Friends Interview)

Presumably he’s making a Commerce Clause argument a la Rivkin and Casey, but if growing weed on your own farm for your own use constitutes “quintessentially” economic activity, wouldn’t a program that affects 15 percent of the entire U.S. economy also qualify? If the...

On the August 18th, David William Hedrick attended a town hall meeting for Representative Brian Baird (D-WA). Out of a crowd of some three thousand, 38 attendees were randomly selected to ask a question. When Hedrick, a marine corps vet, was selected, he used the opportunity to passionately express his concerns. A few hours ago, he uploaded the video. You’ll enjoy this one. Video: Brian Baird Town Hall Showdown

On August 5, Congressman Brian Baird (D-Wash.) likened recent town hall meeting protesters to Nazis: "What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics. I mean that very seriously." On Tuesday, at such a political gathering in Vancouver, a Marine Corps veteran named David William Hedrick blasted the Congressman for this disgraceful depiction. What follows is a video from this town hall meeting in Washington state that every person in America -- especially those on the Left and their media minions who continue to shamefully besmirch average citizens for having the nerve to oppose the government takeover of...
