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!

We won't be rolling 11-13!!! (55k+ likes!!

I don’t know if this story is credible or not but has some background:

I remember them helping out with the blizzard. That was a good thing. I was at WVU majoring in ag business. They laid over and gave a program where they lit diesel in a dish an lit ethanol in a dish to show how clean and efficient it was

They were asking for parity. Amazed it is all coming back now. College in the 70’s. Well.....

I agree with Cork. This strike is a non-starter.

I drove for Comcar in the 1990’s between National Guard gigs. Every summer, in July like clockwork, there was talk of a great wonderful wildcat truckers strike.

The union drivers laughed. The company drivers kept quiet and went on driving. The owner-operators yelled “Go on and strike, more freight for me!”

It’s a lot of smoke, that’s all.

We’ll see where it goes. If 10,000 show they could easily shutdown DC by closing the beltway.

I rode in the 2 Million Bikers to DC and estimates now are between 1.2M and 1.5M. Not bad for a months worth of effort.

Be nice to see 500K truckers, 1m Bikers and the Tea Party get together in DC for a couple days.

Shut the city down, take over congress and stop government would be a “civil” war. If that doesn’t work, break open the trucks arm the bikers and take back America.

Sounds like Algore’s wet dream.

Reginald Denny recovered at his brother's house just around the corner from us....he'd just bought a brand new dually truck with vanity plate: IBA RIOT

He'd kinda wander around with a goofy grin, and his head had some significant dents in it.....hope he got totally well.
