Truckers Shutting Down D.C. This Weekend

[gaylasue]

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.

Wow I have not heard about this!! Crazy!!

I didn't hear that!  If it's true that really will be something, shutting down DC but I wonder what that will due for the crises we are facing?  I wonder if congress cares one way or the other what the "little guy" thinks.

how can truckers shut down DC when the gov already did that already? truckers can stage a rally yes but they cant shut down a city thats already shut down

[catchow]

if they jam up all the roads around there, they can shut it 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:

I heard that the truckers are hoping everyone gets involved and shuts/slows down all of the highways across the country

Because blocking roads that your average citizen use is such great service to the country?

Super idea and a great way to peacefully demonstrate with 'civil disobedience'! Maybe a few of them will cart off some of those idiot elected folks on their way out of town!

The truckers are the lifeline to everyone. If it wasn't for them and the railroad food would not get anywhere without spoiling. Let alone getting canned good on the shelves, SO GO TRUCKERS.
