This month ALL Americans have an opportunity to participate in a nationwide protest.
None of us can ever say we couldn't do anything to make a difference because there is an option available to EVERYONE. On Friday, October 11th through Su
...nday, October 13th, American truckers are planning an event called, Truckers Ride For The Constitution. Thousands of truckers plan on driving their rigs to Washington DC to shut down the city with a super sized traffic jam. Others are planning to do the same at their state capitols. Many truckers cant take off to Washington DC, but they have refused to haul anything during this pivotal 3 days. There will be no gas delivered to stations, groceries delivered to the local grocery store, and myriad of other products wont be delivered if it depends on an 18 wheeler.
What can you do to help? After all, you dont drive a truck. There are 10 things most of us can do. You can do what millions of others plan to do from Friday through Sunday night.
1. If you live close to an interstate rest stop: Take your grill out and feed these hungry trucker Patriots!! Let them know they have your support and good wishes. The Modern American Revolution will be out in full-swing this weekend with their grills a'blazing.
Rest Stop Locations: http://restareas.appspot.com/
2. Find your closest Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment group and go hold a sign up to encourage the truckers. If you cant physically go to an overpass, help someone who can by helping make signs and gather flags for others to hold up.
3. Drive with your lights on in solidarity with the truckers and honk, wave and smile at them as they pass you.
4. Fly your flag at home.
5. Put signs in your yard.
6. Post encouraging memes etc. on Facebook.
7. Wear red, white, and blue.
8. Call and/or email your representatives in Washington and let them know that a few thousand of your closest friends are headed their way to deliver a message from you.
9. You can show your solidarity with the truckers by refusing to spend any money on those days. None, zilch. Dont participate in any commerce at all. Fill up your car with gas on October 9th. Buy your groceries, pay your bills, get cash out of the bank, and stock up on needed supplies beforehand. Just dont buy anything at all during this important revolt.
10. As always, take pictures and film everything possible and post to Facebook and YouTube...if the MSM won't cover this peaceful political action, We Will!
If you are unwilling to do any of these things, you are siding with the enemies of our Constitution, whether intentionally or not. This protest can be highly successful if we all participate. The revenue lost in taxes alone will get their attention even if they try to ignore the thousands of trucks tooling around the city.
Donations for grill equipment, food, beverages, etc for the BBQ's can be made here: https://rally.org/modernamericanrevolution
Fuel donations for the truckers may be made on their main site: http://ridefortheconstitution.org/truckers-constitution-rally-information/
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST FAR AND WIDE!
We're counting on YOU to make this event a huge success!

Go truckers.
Your typical trucker has produced more worth for the country in one week than most congresscritters has produced in their sorry life. (The only reason that “most” replaced “all” is because a few critters were doctors or businessmen...and as such, actually produced value sometimes in their lives.)
And - take a typical trucker’s value to the country and divide it by the Obamadork’s value to the country - and you have a very good start at defining infinity.

Looking forward to see how this protest goes. There wont be a protest. I mean, if you are there in person, sure - but Americans think they know whats going on by watching TV News. And on TV news, there will be no more coverage of this than there was of the March for Justice - or the throng of a million that converged on Washington on 9/12/09 to protest Obamacare.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
For plain numbers, why not a million???
However, around the DC area about 100, well placed can do wonders.
A 4 car 1 Tractor Trailer accident can tie Rush Hour traffic up for hours, add a serious injury or death and the shut down time is undetermined, no matter what the time of day.
Coordinate an ‘accident or major breakdown’ On 395, 495 (beltway so need a couple), 66W, GW and BW parkways and a couple more select routes etc, around 430 and the area will be in complete gridlock with ALL major police forces overloaded.....
Throw in a Metro/Metro bus ‘breakdown’ and the Duchy Of Grand Fenwick can march in backwards and control the area without a shot being fired...
For best results, add 1-2 inches of snow or a heavy, steady drizzle....
I had wondered at the time how say 5 ‘bushwack teams’ would have been in place, how much more effective the 2 idiots in the Chevy would have been.
Thankfully, that was their plan and op so......

The Pay Our Military Act was signed into Federal Law by Obama on 9-30-2013.
Obama KNEW that death benefits were covered when he signed the bill into Law on 9-30-2013 !
This documents that Commander in Chief Obama CHOSE to punish, after death, those who had given their last full measure of devotion by dictating that Funeral Expenses be denied to HIS dead Warriors.
Obama has thus shown himself to be a ghoulish tyrant who is more than willing to inflict maximum pain on his own people, to borrow an expression that Obama used recently against his fellow tyrant in Syria.
Please post on this thread the hotlinks to any news articles on the 26 slain Warriors that Obama has refused to pay funeral expenses for, prior to Obamas yesterdays CYA legal action.
Obama must be held accountable for this ghoulish Dereliction of Duty as the Commander in Chief.

Oh BO they are NOT your Warriors, THEY are OUR Sons and Daughters....
Watch some ‘WAG’ come up and claim the “FISHER FOUNDATION” can’t ‘give’/donate their money because they receive funds supposedly going to support “Fisher House”.
Of course when the Susan Koman(???)Group was found ‘pushing’ their funds to ‘support’ groups that supported/performed infanticide, it was not an issue.....
This whole group of THUGS needs to be visited by either ‘Freedom Fighters’, ‘Tar and Feather experts’, ‘Pitchfork Wielders’, and even (gasp) ‘Night Riders’ to clean house and run them ALL out of town.

I don't like truckers that 'drag race' at stop lights with one in each lane on a two lane road. Especially loaded gravel trucks.

Where does it say I don’t agree with you 100%?
I question that butthole saying “MY troops, MY parks etc” while in essence yes the ‘responsibility’ lies there and like HST said, “The Buck Stops Here”.
BUT
BO ‘YOU DID NOT, BY ANY MEANS, BUILD THAT’
WE built those Memorials, We ‘loaned’ you our Sons and Daughters and YOU are DISRESPECTING their memory and service with YOUR pettiness.....
Yesterday Reid gave the mayor of DC (another jewel in the crown of Idiots)a message “Don’t screw it up” as the Mayor was berating the Senate for blocking monies etc...
I guess you can interpret ‘Don’t screw it up’ as “STFU, we know what we are doing” or ‘Get back in the kitchen Boy’ but naturally only a select few (preaching to the choir)will highlight that thugs remarks.

Pardon my very clumsy writing.
My intent was to clarify that if one is to take the oath to be Commander in Chief, then he also has to be held accountable for the well-being of ALL personnel under his command.
I concede that raising the word “his” to caps was done by me to add sarcasm to Obama’s claim this past July in a speech: “-—my Military, who are fighting for ME.” (Emphasis was his).
Obama cannot have it both ways: MY Military, but not my dead Warriors.
I hope this clarifies any doubt as to my intent.

And on TV news, there will be no more coverage of this than there was of the March for Justice - or the throng of a million that converged on Washington on 9/12/09 to protest Obamacare. There was coverage already on FoxNews (forget the exact show(s)) the other night.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't any coverage on FoxNews tonight and/or tomorrow night and possibly through the day tomorrow.
BTW, there's a new evening schedule which began this week on FoxNews: Greta Van Susteren has moved to 7 ET, Bill O'Reilly maintains his 8 ET slot, followed by Meagan Kelly inserted at 9 ET and then by Sean Hannity moved back to 10 ET.

That's the only aspect of this I don't like. No reason why innocent people should be harmed by being denied necessities. Sounds like something vicious that Obama would do to maximize pain during the government shutdown.

The way I look at it is this...IF this happens, it will serve to wake up those fools who mock the truckers and mock what they do for this country. Those who are awake, need to plan ahead and stock up. Those who aren't awake, or who willfully ignore these "protests" and why they are happening, will soon learn how very wrong they are.

“A 4 car 1 Tractor Trailer accident can tie Rush Hour traffic up for hours, add a serious injury or death and the shut down time is undetermined”
So, you’re all for something deadly happening, huh? Make it nicely more inconvenient, won’t it? And thus bring Congress to its knees?
I can’t believe no one has called you on this.
This potential, along with the massive inconvenience to regular people far away from the actual government, causes me much misgiving on this plan.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Of course not.
I merely stated a FACT.
I probably should have ‘bracketed’ it but I was trying to point out that FEWER trucks, well placed would cause more ‘grief’ since an accident as I described does exactly as I described it.
At 739 this AM, the WashPost reported an overturned tractor trailer shut down ALL LANES of 495 @ Landover Rd. MDSP unsure HOW LONG BEFORE OPENED UP.
In the same ‘Alert’, they cite an accident on Balt/Wash Pkwy@175 with SOUTBOUND lanes are bumper to bumper and UNKNOWN how long before open - saying several hours.
ONE (if not both) of these was still going on at NOON, saying it happened at 4AM.
I am NOT sure, but I thought that the truckers had planned this BEFORE the shutdown.
‘They’ allowed the Immigration thing to go on because it was pre planned...we shall see....
And you are correct, it inconveniences the ‘wrong people’ but I think the original plan involved circling the Capitol and White House but they probably scrapped that ‘bad’ idea giving the present circumstances.
If you get 20-30(ea) rigs to hit the Beltway in both directions from 95 S in Md and N in VA, just doing the speed limit can/will tie the area up for hours and if they are doing the speed limit and staying out of the left lane they ‘just happen to be there’ and not exiting....

And all they’ll do is PO a lot of people. The way you wrote made it seem you were looking for ways to increase the efficiency of the disruption.
(BTW, the 175 was a pedestrian fatality. It was bad but I’m sure it finished before the truck issue. Why a pedestrian on the highway I don’t know.)
