GO TRUCKERS AND MAY GOD BLESS THEM!

I heard on the news this morning that truckers are planning a big rally in Washington, D.C. this weekend.  3,000 truckers have RSVP'd for the event.  They are suppose to shut down the major highways around D.C. this weekend as a protest to the political stalemate in D.C. that is crippling our nation.

I too heard about this. I am all for it. Just hoping everyone stays safe and no one gets hurt. Glad I don't have to drive to work around there. Good luck to those who do.

It is a shame that congress will not negotiate with each other. It seems like if one party is willing to talk the other should talk. Instead, we have children who are too selfish to give in at all. It makes no sense to punish the innocent for their games. Lets work together and get something done. My way or no way does not solve anything.

This was stupid.  If they really wanted to shut down the beltway they would not do it on a weekend.  And they wouldn't do it on a holiday weekend.  They were suppose to do it again this morning which I assume they didn't since only like 30 trucks showed up.  Who cares if they do it on a Monday that is a holiday when everything is closed.  And it is crazy to think the government officials will quit their jobs because truckers slow traffic for a couple of days.  Although IF all the trucks would stick together and park their rigs it would shut this country down.

Yup, they sure are and I hope they succeed in their mission!  In case you haven't heard, our Veterans will also be doing something similar in Washington on the 13th of the month.  It's called the "Million Vet March on the Memorials."  They're livid because they are all being arrested or turned away from visiting the War Memorial sites of their fallen brothers and sisters.  Here's a link:

Yeah and they have threatened to arrest them.  Showed the cops in riot gear.  Yeah the big had cops with batons gonna beat up old men who fought for their freedoms.

It was quite an interesting event from what I hear, though fortunately it was non-violent....there were also lots of protests in DC about the memorials by vets

Glad I don't go to the DC area anymore. It sounds like a real mess not that it hasn't always been.

This event was a bib flop. It would've been good if more people participated...

hahaha that will be so funny to see. the president needs to be impeached. i think we made a bad decision voting him into the house. he's doing nothing but hurting us.
