Free Republic

Tea Party Republican and one-time congressional candidate David W. Hedrick pleaded not guilty on Monday to one count of fourth-degree assault domestic violence, court records show. Hedrick was arrested at his Camas home early Sunday morning after his wife alleged he struck her twice in the back of the head during an argument. Hedrick was arraigned Monday and released on bail. He is due in court for a pre-trial hearing Nov. 2. If convicted, he faces up to a year in jail and a possible $5,000 fine. Reached by phone, Hedrick declined comment.

David W. Hedrick, the outspoken Tea Party Republican who is running for the 3rd Congressional District seat, was exhilarated last month after someone e-mailed him the results of a new poll that appeared to show him running neck-and-neck with state Rep. Jaime Herrera and far ahead of David Castillo, his two Republican opponents in the primary race. The July 7 results showed Hedrick with 17 percent of the vote, Herrera with 18 percent and Castillo with just 9 percent in a match-up of all six candidates. The Camas ex-Marine quickly posted the new numbers on his campaign website, calling the...

There is a Marine in Southern Washington, Camas to be exact, who became famous because of YouTube and a sternly worded lecture at a Town Hall meeting. David Hedrick had the fortitude to bluntly call Representative Brian Baird to account on several issues. Health care, the teaching of our children, and the upholding of one’s oath to the Nation, were among the issues this brave Marine took Baird to task for.

Hedrick's first confrontation at a Town Hall Meeting occurred on August 18, 2009, in Clark County, Washington. This time, Hedrick took the microphone and introduced himself, telling Baird, "God must be smiling on me, because you have made the unlucky choice of picking my number again." After giving Baird another tongue-lashing for not following the U.S. Constitution, Hedrick then asked Baird to read the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Baird did so and...

Here is audio of Mark Levin today talking with Disabled Marine Veteran David Hedrick about his standing up to Democrat Rep. Brian Baird last week. Hedrick said Mark Levin has been very instrumental in his life, encouraging him through his radio broadcast and his book, "Liberty and Tyranny." Hedrick said he and his family have had a lot of verbal abuse since his statements, including people saying things to his wife and small child. Mark Levin said he was "honored" to have Hedrick as a listener. Hedrick told Levin he is considering running for office, with many people "getting behind...

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the recent wave of town hall protesters are nothing but “un-American

A fellow Washingtonian and veteran marine tells Congressman Brian Baird what's what!!

This is the video that they've been playing all over talk radio and Fox News tonight.

Here is video of Disabled Marine Veteran David Hedrick on with Sean Hannity tonight to talk about his real slapdown of Democrat Rep. Brian Baird at a Town Hall Meeting several days ago. Hedrick has really made an impact with his remarks. His words have resonated because he encapsulated in a few words what millions of Americans are feeling about ObamaCare and what Democrats have been saying and doing. He particularly hammered Baird for likening anti-ObamaCare protesters to "Brownshirts," reminding the Congressman that Nazis were radicals on the Left and not the Right. They were the National "Socialist" Party. Hedrick...

Hannity interviews the Marine from the Town Hall, who will be the next Joe the Plumber, David Hedrick

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...

Town Hall Meeting with U.S. Congressman Brian Baird Must SEE VIDEO!

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

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. So much for the planned talking points of the right...

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.

Hedrick also told Baird, "I kept my oath" to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and asked...

Town Hall Meeting with U.S. Congressman Brian Baird, August 18, 2009. A Marine vet speaks his mind with complete clarity and voice. Here's the video:

Via, er, HotAirPundit, red meat courtesy of the good folks who hijacked our last thread. The Democrat in question is Brian “Brown Shirts” Baird, thus the pounding he takes here is extra gratifying. Not sure I follow the Marine’s point about what right the feds have to tell him he can keep his insurance plan, though. 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...

This is required watching. We all need to step up like this young man.

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