Marine Confronts Congressman Brian Baird At Townhall Meeting

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. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy. ~ Youtube

Amen David,
Iam a Democrat but first I am an American. I almost voted for the Obama but changed my mind at the last minute due to unanswered questions I had about what he stood for. I ended up writing in Ron Paul. After the mess that the republican admin got us into I felt we needed the dems in office. Unfortunatly I am learing that Socialist goal minded groups saw this too and are riding on the votes of honest democratic voters like me. Our leaders feel that we were so sick of what was going on with Bush we would accept any change. I am proud to say that what you did and said is reflected in the thoughts of many democrats also. Yes we needed change in the way our government was being run. This does not mean change what our forefathers built for us. We all need to bring our fellow countrymen away from the hype of change that our current admin is making and change it back to what our original leaders intended. I now see the republican party trying to use the opposition in their favor. I ask that we not fall into this trap again. This is not a Democratic / Republican issue. This is an American Ctizens Sovereignty Issue. I personally feel that bot of our parties have failed to lead us in the right direction. So Stand Up America as David has. Sign up friends and family to Oathkeepers.Org. Unite America for the right reason “AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY”

I saw David on Shawn Hannity tonight. He did a great job. It is great to see all these “oath keeping” patriots stepping up. We need to keep up the heat. They swore to uphold the constitution and they are not. When will the treason trials begin???

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Your Oath NEVER expires! It's time to keep it!

Site Dedication

This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.

John Adams, at the age of 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could fight against Imperial Japan in the Pacific. His enlistment date was December 10, 1941, just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the pacific, including at Iwo Jima. We may have good men, but we never had better.

Until his death in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the Republic deadly serious. May God grant you the courage to do likewise.
