Tractor-trailer drivers will
intentionally clog the inner loop of the Washington ,
D.C. , beltway beginning on the
morning of Oct. 11, according to a coordinator of the upcoming "Truckers
Ride for the Constitution" rally.
Organizers of the three-day ride want to
call attention to a litany of trucker frustrations and express their
disapproval of national political leaders.
Earl Conlon, a Georgia trucker who is
handling logistics for the protest, told U.S. News tractor-trailer drivers
will circle the beltway "three lanes deep" as he rides with other
participants to Congress to seek the arrest of congressmen for allegedly
disregarding the Constitution.
The truckers circling I-495 will keep
the left lane open for emergency vehicles, Conlon said, but "everybody
that doesn't have a supporter sticker on their window, good luck: Nobody in,
nobody out." The trucks will be going the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit.
D.C. commuters who wish to be allowed
past the convoy must have "T2SDA" – an acronym for the event's
original name, "Truckers to Shut Down America " – written on their
vehicle, he said.
"It's going to be real fun for
anyone who is not a supporter," Conlon said, "[and] if cops decide to
give us a hard time, we're going to lock the brakes up, we're going to stop
right there, we're going to be a three lane roadblock."
Zeeda Andrews, a former country music
singer helping promote the protest, said last week participants would present
demands to congressmen – including the impeachment of President Barack Obama –
and give the congressmen an opportunity to agree to the demands in exchange for
canceling the ride.
But Conlon says that's not quite right. "We are not going to ask for
impeachment," Conlon said. "We are coming whether they like it or
not. We're not asking for impeachment, we're asking for arrest of everyone in
government who has violated their oath of office."
Conlon cited the idea of a citizens
grand jury – meaning a pool of jurors convened without court approval – as the
mechanism for indicting the officials.

"We want these people arrested, and
we're coming in with the grand jury to do it," he said. "We are going
to ask the law enforcement to uphold their constitutional oath and make these
arrests. If they refuse to do it, by the power of the people of the United States
and the people's grand jury, they don't want to do it, we will. ... We the
people will find a way."
It's almost certain that anyone
attempting to "arrest" a member of Congress would be arrested
themselves for attempted kidnapping.
Conlon and Andrews say Obama committed
"treason" by allegedly funneling weapons to al-Qaida-linked rebels in
Syria .
Members of Congress who support arming Syrian rebels, Conlon said, are
accessories to the alleged crime. He identified House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., as politicians he will
seek to arrest for alleged acts against the Constitution.
Andrews said last week 3,000 truckers
had RSVP-ed to the event, and Conlon says he's now lost count of the number. He
says he's receiving around 100 emails a day from prospective participants.
"What we want to do is go in nice
and peaceful and keep it as peaceful as possible... but if they decide to get
ugly with us we're going to do what we have to do," he said. "If all
I get is one or two congressmen walked out of there in handcuffs, that will be
a shot across the bow that will ripple across all branches of government. ... I
hope they are all civil enough and brave enough to step out onto the
congressional steps."
Trucker-specific grievances behind the protest
include Environmental Protection Agency fuel efficiency standards and the high
cost of diesel fuel. State and local anti-idling laws as well as insurance
companies purportedly requiring technological updates are among the
irritations, as is the perceived deterioration of Fourth Amendment rights
protecting truckers' cabs.
Whether or not the truckers pack a punch
to D.C. area traffic depends on the number and intensity level of participants.
A similar three-day protest in 2007, against illegal immigration and
competition from Mexican truckers, did not spoil commutes as feared, the Washington Examiner
reported. A Facebook page advertising the upcoming ride has close to 50,000
likes. - By Steven Nelson U.S. News and

Well folks, as of today the justice system in America is still very corrupt. As of this writing Barrack Hussein Obama, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein and a whole host of other corrupt politicians are still unjustly walking free after committing repeated crimes against America and Americans, including murder!
You lil' punk, Barry Hussein, you insignificant lil' flea, you cannot defeat me! I am backed by a fella, who had spikes driven in both hands and feet, then he was hung on timbers and the only thing holding him up were those spikes, then he was stabbed and given up for dead, then he was entombed, then he walked out of that tomb and ascended up into the sky and after all of that he still lives today! Yes, this is my backing! What's yours? George Soros? I am laughing whole-heartily right now! How small you really are you lil' arrogant imposter! Oh yeah, and if you think this fella backing me is something, I just can't wait 'til you meet his father! Good luck, you're gonna need it!

******** In today's backward world, RACISM IS when American taxpayer's work their butts off every day and complain because they have to pay for people, who are too damn lazy and/or illegal, about getting free healthcare, free cell phones, free housing, free food, free baby sitters, free school, free electricity, free water, free cars, free air conditioning and a whole host of other freebies! This used to be called, "pointing out injustice", but not in Obama's world! In his world, it is RACISM!
