If only it were true for all of Congress - Watch a Congressional Candidate Shoot Down a 'Government Drone'

Watch a Congressional Candidate Shoot Down a 'Government Drone' - NationalJournal.com

By    4-16-14

House contender Matt Rosendale of Montana wants Big Brother out of his airspace.

As a "government drone" hovers over Matt Rosendale, the Republican House candidate from Montana tells the camera what he thinks of government overreach, regulation, and "spying on our citizens."
Then, standing in front of an ATV, Rosendale coolly puts a rifle to his shoulder, looks up through the sight and "downs" the drone with a single shot.
"The federal government is too big and too powerful," Rosendale says. "I'm ready to stand tall for freedom and get Washington out of our lives," he says.
Rosendale is trying to stand out in a five-way primary for Montana's at-large seat in the House.
Sporting a barn jacket and a flattop buzz cut, the state senator lowers the rifle and pledges to get the feds off his constituents' backs—or at least not hovering over their heads.
