Growing Anger Against Democrats

[Gravitymaster 0]

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 the 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.

If you're looking for a word to describe Conlon, I believe the word you're looking for is "nutcase."

It almost sounded like a reasonable protest right up to the point he started making comments like;

So . . . good luck to him.

I think they totally should fire the guy in charge and instead elect Danny McBride.

They should totally do that! And emergency services should have some bulldozers on hand, able to clear the roads of disabled vehicles in case of an emergency.

Sounds very similar to what a bunch of bikers did in NYC a week ago.

Apparently she found a way to skip step 1. You know who we haven't heard from in a while ? Ted Nugent (a real singer). Is he dead or in jail ??

BHO's thug force will gain power as the people began to rise up in anger and demonstrate power. Find a place to make a stand. Prepare for SHTF. Prepare for the worse case scenario you can imagine.

You probably missed this sentence.

They also plan on going the 55 mph speed limit, so they will not be breaking the law.

Have you any idea of the enormity of the task of removing 3000+ semi's from the approx. 60 miles of the DC Beltway?

I told you previously that you and other left wingers out there in la la land have no idea of the level of anger against this government.

Apparently you can have access to the National Mall and government services if you support illegal immigration but not if you are a Veteran who fought for your country.

I've driven in DC traffic. Do you really think this will be much worse than any other Friday?

Can you imagine the cluster fuck if people were actually forced to drive the speed limit? Add in trying to access exit ramps with semi's blocking them and the Beltway and all roads in and out of DC become the worlds largest parking lot. Imagine the anger level of commuters.

Now add all these bulldozers trying to push these trucks off the road as has been suggested and you may have a huge "civil disturbance" on your hands.

Bulldozers? The drivers have been laid off. Should our pretend President decide to use the military or the "new" black panthers, how will he get these "oversized vehicles" to the front: trains or "oversized" trucks? Hope he doesn't have time to look at http://www.dropzone.com

Well, push em all the way to the right lane to start. It will take hours but then at least the way will be clear, and wreckers can deal with actually hauling them off later.

(And I have no doubt that this will be like all the other big Tea Party protests, where they breathlessly announce that thousands will participate, and then 23 show up.)

Right. After right wingers try their best to cripple a major city, the anger will be against . . . Obama. Heck, I am sure right wingers will blame him for all those swoop-and-squats.

Perhaps Tea Partyers could get right wingers to go out and break windows again, then blame Obama for the broken windows. That worked well last time.

No problem. I've got cookies and and a six pack at home. I suspect that'll be fine.

The speed limit would be quite a bit faster than the normal speed on the beltway.

You need to stop using the old ancient derogatory terms for people who dare protest the government.

Tea Partier, Tea Bagger, Repubican, RWC, Republiscum etc are so old fashion. The In Crowd is using Anarchist , Terrorist etc. get with it with the insults .

They seem to be able to find money for what they want to spend it on. They only need to hire illegal immigrants as bulldozer drivers.
