Disabled Marine David Hedrick to Address
Supporters of Patricia Sullivan for Congress This Friday at 8am in Mt. Dora
Eustis, FL, November 11, 2009 - Disabled Marine
Veteran David W. Hedrick will address supporters of Patricia Sullivan for
Congress at a 8am breakfast in Mount Dora on Friday.
Mr. Hedrick will be sharing his
experience from a previous Congressional town hall meeting which was earlier viewd by millions on YouTube. At that
earlier August meeting, he verbally battered Congressman Brian Baird (D-WA) for comments made
earlier in the meeting. Mr. Hedrick's strongly-worded advice to
Congressman Baird was to step away from increasing the government's role in his
everyday life. He warned the Congressman to "Stay away from my
kids!" among other comments.
In an impassioned speech, later featured on national news and receiving
millions of video views on the internet, Mr. Hedrick informed his Congressman
that government is overstepping its role in the everyday lives of
citizens. He specifically opposed initiatives regarding education and
health care reform. His original speech on August 18, 2009 received heavy
applause from the local audience. As a result of his dissatisfaction with
Mr. Baird, David Hedrick has announced his intention to run for Congress
against Mr. Baird in 2010.
Patricia Sullivan's similar views about Congress, prompted her to announce
her candidacy for election on October 6th in Florida's 8th Congressional
District. She became increasingly alarmed that both Congress and the
Executive Branch had overstepped their Constitutional authority. Specific
areas of her concern include attempts of the government to assume too much
control in Health Care, Environmental Protection, and Education. She is
especially troubled with the increasing impact personal taxes will have on
families and senior citizens.
Both Mr. Hedrick and Mrs. Sullivan are running on platforms of decreased
government involvement in the lives of citizens. More detail about their
campaigns is available at their web sites:
