Convoy to D.C. – Truckers To Shut Down America In October

[burntheships]

We Gonna Have Ourselves A Convoy

A group of freedom-loving truckers appearing almost to have accepted a baton from the 9/11 Two Million Biker D.C. rally. They plan to shut down America on the weekend of Oct. 11-13, by calling a trucking general strike.

The backbone of commerce in the United States are the truck drivers who spend long hours on the road ensuring our very survival as a modern society.

But with fuel prices continuing to rise, wages dropping, jobs becoming harder to find, and rampant corruption in Washington D.C. furthering the country's economic death spiral, America's truck drivers, like the majority of our fellow citizens, are fed up.

Between October 11th and 13th they have called for a general strike, asking truck drivers around the country to refuse to haul freight, a move that could carry with it a significant impact on the American economy.

The protest calls for truckers to make their way to Washington D.C. in a massive convoy in an effort to call attention to, among other things, the Benghazi cover-up, the recent attack which killed 25 members of Seal Team 6, ever rising fuel prices, and claims that President Obama has engaged in treasonous crimes.

Moreover, they've requested that the American people join them in solidarity by not shopping or engaging in any economic activity that benefits the government or their corporate interests.

The American people are sick and tired of the corruption that is destroying America! We therefore declare a GENERAL STRIKE on the weekend of October 11-13, 2013! Truck drivers will not haul freight! Americans can strike in solidarity with truck drivers!

...

Breaker 1 9 calling on all Trucker to shut America down for three days October 11-13. The American people are bleeding out with no relief in sight, It is time to change the NEWS. Let us show our elected officials that we are 100% fed up with corruption and the blatant disregard of the Constitution that they swore to defend.

Bob tail it hammer down to the bull$hit city with flags flying high.

...

My fellow Patriot this effort is to support the truckers in a major shut down of America ion a 3 day strike October 11th thru 13th.

Obamacare will be in effect and most people will be ready to take action. No commerce on those days stock up on items that you will need. No banking no shopping no money transactions. It does not matter If a million or 50 roll through DC in this effort. Congress will listen to We The People. Which is remove Obama from office for crimes of treason and misdemeanors. We want Congressional hearing on Benghazi and Seal Team 6. Louis Learner put in jail. No amnesty, remove all Muslims in our government that do not uphold the Constitution. Remove Eric Holder from office for crimes against the people and the Constitution. Last but not least is Fuel prices.

The protest comes on the heels of a massive biker rally held in Washington D.C., and other grass roots efforts to hold the government to account for various Constitutional transgressions including everything from stripping Americans of their right to bear arms, to forced health care mandates soon to be implemented across the country (with exemptions for members of Congress and corporations with insider access, of course).

Now this article says they are taking
an anti Muslim stance.

Their Facebook page has more than 37,000 "likes" and appears to be bigoted as they want to "remove all Muslims in our government that do not uphold the Constitution."

but hey..just my opinion

[burntheships]

there aren't that many independents who can afford to do it

Sky, yes that crossed my mind as well.
It will be interesting to see what momentum takes
shape, if it does. But dang, I wish I was independent
trucker about now.

I agree that singling out only the Muslims that do not uphold the Constitution is bigoted.  I think ALL who not do so should be removed.

Police pull over truckers in protest convoy

WASHINGTON (AP) - Virginia state police say they stopped four tractor-trailer drivers participating in a protest convoy on the Capital Beltway outside Washington.

Police say the drivers were pulled over after they began driving side-by side across all four northbound lanes of the Beltway in Fairfax County shortly before 9 a.m. Thursday, slowing traffic to about 15 mph. Officers warned the drivers not to impede traffic and did not write any tickets.

Police say a convoy of about 30 trucks began traveling north on Interstate 95 from Doswell, Va., on Friday morning. The truckers are circling the Beltway.

Organizers say the truckers are protesting unconstitutional actions by the federal government, including the health care overhaul and the Patriot Act. They are calling for President Barack Obama to be removed from office.

Constitution Convoy Rally Denver In Route To DC

Constitution Rally Truckers Stopped After Slowing Capital Beltway

The truck stopage works well.
From another view if you don't mind.  When someon does not pay a very high bill here, the unpaid person will hire from 5 to 5o very large trucks and have them park right in front of the payers building. Shutting tmem down. Funny thing, the police do nothing, they let them settle it out themselves. They even chain them together and other posts. The drivers then all leave..

Try towing a truck that is all parked sideways T-headed and blocked by others. Can you imagine what DC would look like if 10,000 Mac trucks with trailers drove in and parked, locked and left. If you do this with a car they tow you. Ok, what do you do with tat many trucks. Believe me it stops everything instantly. Everyone just gets a parking ticket and maybe an impound fee If they can tow it.
See if it happens in numbers............

I would love to see it Deuem.

what worries me about the idea is how do they know that all the truckers that join them, all have good intentions.  big trailers can carry all sorts of things, like armies, bombs, etc.

'Officers warned the drivers not to impede traffic and did not write any tickets."

Fair enough...  no tickets

I agree with the cops. Protest is fine but don't stop "We the People..." from getting to work

Permits and reviews for planned energy and transportations projects will stop, preventing companies from working on these projects. Loans to rural communities will be halted.
Hundreds of thousands of Federal employees including many charged with protecting us from terrorist threats, defending our borders, inspecting our food, and keeping our skies safe will work without pay until the shutdown ends.
Hundreds of thousands of additional federal workers will be immediately and indefinitely furloughed without pay.
