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.

As I watched the video the most poignant moment was when 3000 people stood and cheered, stopping the congressman from speaking or allowing him to respond in his predictable political rhetoric, but rather to allow the voice of the silent majority to rule - one moment, one taste of what it means to be free. Is this what the American people are so willing to give away? What would these people in that audience be willing to give up to be able to have that voice... I wonder?
ReplyDeleteThe only difference between Adolf Hitler and the Congressman at that moment was that Hitler would have ordered their execution.
there are those in this meeting that will run and hide when things get tough and, to tell the truth, i may be one of them. I am not equipped for some of what will be needed in the coming years. I would hope that i can stand with the rest and i intend to. As long an my courage does not fail to soon.

The coward was standing on the stage.
ReplyDeleteWhen we vote for a socialist we put the power in his hands to take our freedoms away. By the time he stands at the podium to speak, we have already handed him our freedom.
