Truckers for the Constitution to shut down D.C. roads, arrest violators of oath of office

(NaturalNews) The rumbling sound that will be heard around the
nation's capital in a few weeks could be one of the most terrifying
heard in Washington, D.C., in quite some time, for it will represent
more than just another angry American demographic. It will represent
the very lifeblood of our nation, for without them, commerce all but
stops.

Hence the movement "Truckers for the Constitution," an ad hoc
assembly of ticked-off truckers who are fed up with the shenanigans in
Congress and the White House. And they aim to make their voices - and
their trucks - heard.

According to US News & World Report:

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.

Georgia trucker Earl Conlon, who is currently handling the logistics
for the protest, told U.S. News that drivers plan to circle the
Beltway "three lanes deep," and that he and other truckers are riding
to Congress to seek the arrest of congressmen for violations of the
Constitution.

'It's going to be real fun for anyone who is not a supporter'

He said truckers circling the Beltway, which is formally known as
I-495, will keep the far left lane open for emergency vehicles but
"everybody that doesn't have a supporter sticker on their window, good
luck: Nobody in, nobody out." He said the trucks plan to adhere to the
55-mile-per-hour speed limit.

Commuters to the capital who want to be allowed to pass must have
"T2SDA" written on their vehicle, said Conlon. That stands for the
event's original name: "Truckers to Shut Down America."

"It's going to be real fun for anyone who is not a supporter," Conlon
said. "If cops decide to give us a hard time, we're going to lock the
brakes up, we're going to stop right there, we're going to be a three
lane roadblock."

Which, at that point, would amount to instant gridlock, with no hope
of a quick solution to clear the highways.

Former country music singer Zeeda Andrews is helping to promote the
protest. The singer said recently that participants are planning to
present demands to lawmakers - which will include impeaching President
Obama - and will give congressmen the opportunity to agree to their
demands in exchange for ending the ride.

However, Conlon said, that wasn't quite accurate.

"We are not going to ask for impeachment," Conlon said. "We are
coming whether they like it or not. We're not asking for impeachment,
we're asking for the arrest of everyone in government who has violated
their oath of office."

He hit on the idea of a citizens' grand jury, of sorts - a pool of
jurors convened without court approval - as the preferred method of
indicting elected officials.

"We want these people arrested, and we're coming in with the grand
jury to do it," said Conlon. "We are going to ask the law enforcement
to uphold their constitutional oath and make these arrests. If they
refuse to do it, by the power of the people of the United States and
the people's grand jury, they don't want to do it, we will. ... We the
people will find a way."

The U.S. News reporter fretted, "It's almost certain that anyone
attempting to 'arrest' a member of Congress would be arrested
themselves for attempted kidnapping."

And therein, as they say, lies the rub.

For now, that threat doesn't seem to be stopping Conlon's convoy of
truckers.

'If they decide to get ugly with us we're going to do what we have to
do'

More from the magazine about whom truckers are targeting specifically:

Conlon and Andrews say Obama committed "treason" by allegedly
funneling weapons to al-Qaida-linked rebels in Syria. Members of
Congress who support arming Syrian rebels, Conlon said, are
accessories to the alleged crime. He identified House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., as
politicians he will seek to arrest for alleged acts against the
Constitution.

"What we want to do is go in nice and peaceful and keep it as
peaceful as possible... but if they decide to get ugly with us we're
going to do what we have to do," said Conlon, who added that more than
3,000 truckers had RSVP'ed to the event.

"If all I get is one or two congressmen walked out of there in
handcuffs, that will be a shot across the bow that will ripple across
all branches of government. ... I hope they are all civil enough and
brave enough to step out onto the congressional steps," he said.

In addition to being fed up with particular lawmakers, the truckers
also have industry-specific grievances, including Environmental
Protection Agency fuel efficiency standards and the high cost of
diesel fuel, as well as Fourth Amendment encroachments into truckers'
cabs.

All hype. These truckers will do nothing. No one in congress will be arrested. The truckers will go home Sunday and Monday morning, congress will be back in session as usual.

You can pretty much forget about the truckers arresting anybody and you can forget about a million trucks. Some will show up but all this stuff about a million trucks and a million veterans, etc., etc., if hype. I would love for it to be true but I'll believe it when I see it.
