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 doesnt 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 events original name, Truckers to Shut Down America written on their vehicle, he said. Its going to be real fun for anyone who is not a supporter, Conlon said, [and] if cops decide to give us a hard time, were going to lock the brakes up, were going to stop right there, were going to be a three lane roadblock.

I think it's time that the American public speak out against Congress and what they are doing to the citizens of thos once great country. I don't agree 100% with they way they are doing it but at least it is a way to be heard.
The Rebublican lies have been forced down our throats until we, the public, are sick and tired of it.
I wish them luck!

The Democratic lies have been forced down our throats until we, the public, are sick and tired of it.
Also it is Republican not Rebublican.
But that is OK, we understand.
