David W. Hedrick / From Tea Party Scores a Big Win at the Washington State Republican Convention!

At the Washington State Republican Convention Marine Cpl David William Hedrick scored a huge victory for the Tea Party! Hedrick's speech was universally recognized as the best speech of any candidate for U.S. Congress at the event.

The speech was given before Republican Delegates at the convention. The camera picked up less than 20% of those in attendance and the microphone (set just to hear the candidate) did not accurately reflect the cheers from the audience. They were so loud, people outside the convention center could hear it in the street. Directly in front of the camera, were many individuals in camps supporting the moderate candidates, so there reaction was more subdued than the rest of the room.
