Truckers Strike, Washington DC, 10-11 to 10-13

In case you've missed this. The News Media has done its best to bury this news. ALL the major media has basically ignored the fact that truck drivers are ticked off by the "antics" of our Federal Government in Washington DC!  (BOTH SIDES).

So about a MILLION or so of truckers (along with another big group of bikers) are going to DC to express their dissatiafaction to Obama and Congress about the failure to run our governement within the laws as stated in the Constitution of the United States. This "government shutdown" is beyond ridiculous and DC has lost its mind!

The LAST Federal Budget passed by congress? 2008, George Bush, we have been running on Continuing Resolutions since then. That is breaking Constitutional Law (but we see DC break laws every day and get away with it).

I am reminded of the riots in Egypt when Morsi tried to force Islam Sharia Law down the throats of the people there.

There are no innocent people in Congress or the Whitehouse. This is America, NOT Nazi Germany of the 1930's and 40's. DC seems to be missing this point. So the CITIZENS of America are going to express their 1st Amendment Rights (in person).

Bottomline is, before then you might want to stock up on some groceries and things before this date. As a retired trucker I know most store do not carry more than 3 days stock in their stores or warehouses.

You also might want to contact your representatives and let them know we do not appreciate the job they are doing as our representives. Just a suggestion.
