Marine Veteran David Hedrick Challenges Rep. Brian Baird at Second Town Hall Meeting
"You made the unlucky choice of picking my number once again"
"Since I spoke out last time, I've faced intimidation, I've had people try pass my number around, they've passed my address around, they suggested people come and visit my family in the middle of the night, I wanna make something clear, If you did not hear me before I am a United States Marine and I will not be intimidated"
2nd Town Hall Meeting held on August 31st 2009 in Olympia, Washington. David tells Brian Baird he is not going to be silent anymore and he is tired of the Government taking more and more of his freedom away. Brian Baird reads Article 10 of the Constitution and explains how Health Care is covered in it
Wild Thing's comment......
LOL I love it. He picked his number again!!!

According to Cornell University, there are only 7 Articles in the Constitution. Unless he is referring to the 10 Amendment. In which case he as a Congressman does not even know what he is talking about. So how can he swear an oath to a Constitution he himself does not understand.
Now here is the 10th Amendment:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
I am not a lawyer, but the constitution was written so that even I a mere, subject in the obama kindom can understand it...So it sounds to me that the Federal Government is not to be involved in this at all. It is the individual States responsibility for Health Care and NOT the Federal Government.
Clearly from the polls the PEOPLE don't want this communist plan, the Tea-parties have made this clear. The polls show a clear majority do not want this. So for Baird's argument to be valid, he must be reading some other countries constitution.

I think many of them are figuring out that it's not just about health care "reform". It's about the instrusion into our lives and financial crippling of the country. It's becoming a litmus test. Those for all this nonsense and supporting the Obama administration are clearly liberal lefties, and this is not a primarily lefty country.
Thank God for people like this Marine. In my own small way, I feel the same...I am not going to be afraid of the left. Van Jones has proved we can make a difference without MSM.

God bless David Hedrik, He should be the last one these morons would threaten. But like that man from the town hall that was thrown out of the Town Hall meeting with his special needs son. He too was threatened, and said the same thing David did.
The American Spirit is summed up below, from World War 1.
I have only two men out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold.

Thank you Chrissie. David Hedrick did a wonderful job on that Commie Baird from my state, the land of Baghdad Jim McDermott and Patty Murray. Olympia is not friendly to constitutional writ, either nationally or of their own state constitution, they will however shamelessly take the money from the federal coffers without putting up any matching funds, the military has numerous bases here including all branches of service, the money is loved, the troops are loathed by most, Olympia being one of those cities that aligns itself like Seattle with anything Communist. Most of the population in Seattle and Olympia represent and condone what their brother Red's have left as their legacy.
Genocide; Abortions, euthanasia and coerced suicides. This is what Baird and the Democrat party of today represent. Think about it:
The communist body count in the 20th century, these are not war deaths, but the systematic killing by a regimes own people, and people under the regimes control.
Russia - 61,000,000
Chinese - 35,000,000
Cambodia - 2,000,000
Vietnam - 1,600,000
Yugoslavia - 1,000,000
North Korea - 1,600,000

David Hedrick points out the powers not given to the Feds in The Constitution are reserved by The Constitution to the states. A nationalizing of our health care is not a power given to the Feds.
If the Feds can take control of our health care as they have taken so much control of our economy since obama was inaugurated they will control most of our lifes. Add in control of all media like they propose and we the people have lost control of dissent. If the Feds also pass their proposed(and hidden) gun control then they have removed our tools of resistance.
This obama government is all about complete government control. They are anti-Constitutional. We thought that with the fall of the Berlin Wall that Communism had been defeated. Unknowingly to too many Americans we have voted it in here in America.

Mark, thank you so much for that about
the Constitution.

Eden, I agree, we are many, and these
Townhalls and the Tea Party Express
prove it.
One of the really good things too is
it is not only Republicans speaking
out but dems that are waking up.

Mark, that is an awesome quote, thank you.

Jack, thank you so much for that information.
WOW! People need to see this.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 6, 2009 07:28 PM
Tom, your right, that about the Feds.
I agree too that this is totally about
total control over all the population.
Dear Lord don't let this happen.
