Plugging his new film Bidder 70 on Letterman.

I wish I could stand for my beliefs to the extent this heroic man has! I would not be able to survive in prison for two years like he did.

This young man didn't set out to become a hero, he just did the right thing at the right time. I remember I was sure when President Obama became President, he would correct the matter, he did not. I didn't see Tim on Letterman, but I followed Tim's hearing and his confinement. So thanks for the video. I'm even more impressed with Tim.
