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 can’t 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 won’t be delivered if it depends on an 18 wheeler.

What can you do to help? After all, you don’t 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 can’t 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. Don’t 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 don’t 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!

I hope this happens!!! I’d love to be there but I’ve got a very sick wife at home who needs my help, but I’ll certainly be there in spirit!

As Commander in Chief, Obama is responsible for the well-being of ALL of our Nation’s Military Personel, ESPECIALLY the Warriors.

Obama owns this latest Dereliction of Duty, lock, stock and barrel.

Your typical trucker has produced more worth for the country in one week than most congresscritters has produced in their sorry life.

Yup, as someone said, "If you bought it, a trucker delivered it". 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.

Rest of post didn't make it.

It included that I thought Reid was a big-time bigot; on the order of Lyndon Johnson.

Just curious, random thought: I wonder what the various “militias” around the country are planning (in the way of peaceful protests, of course).

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.

I know very well the media will turn a blind eye. it's up to the new media to show the protest. Facebook, twitter and youtube. Any and all avenues to get the word out.

I figured that was what was going on, just had to respond lest I act like an “R” and not ‘make’ someone explain a statement which makes them ‘look’ bad.....<: <: <:

Like the kid trying to sell a newspaper and the person says
“I can’t read”
and the kid says
“Well if you buy the newspaper, people may THINK you can”.

Thanks for replying. Understood!

There won’t be a protest. I mean, if you are there in person, sure - but Americans think they know “what’s 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.

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.
