Missouri Kansas City is a major hub for railroads and can be dangerous for hitchhikers and hoppers after dark. There are good resources if you plan a bit ahead...
Kansas City is a major transportation hub. About 400 flights a day come and go from Kansas City International Airport, where the maximum distance from aircraft to curb is less than 75 feet. KC is one of only five U.S. cities with three intersecting interstate highways (I-70, I-29 and I-35). The city's rail system carries 300 daily freight arrivals and departures.
see you tomorrow, all.
Same kid in the infamous "only the dog knows for sure" pic?
Better to get the illegals, terrorists, asians, chinese, etc in and throught the country huh?

I do, lol, but I can't "prove it" (yet at least). Part Wampanoag.
"Trans-Texas Corridor Because there are issues of confiscation of private land, State and National sovereignty and other similar concerns, we urge the repeal of the Trans-Texas Corridor legislation." [page P-4]I knew it!
Oh man, its going to be hard to sleep tonight. But thanks for all the info, just the same.
"Exactly. Recall, Kelo v. City of New London (immanent domain), made it much easier for big bro to now take your home away."

Wow. I've been reading back through and ALL of ya'll have done a great job on all the research on this! A couple of observations. With the recent change in emminent domain laws by the SCOTUS (as seen almost nightly on Hannity), it would seem to me that it is now much easier to take any land they want?
Curious to know if in doing research about the railroads/railways, you all came across any information about the Unions. I would be very surprised to learn that this operation is going on without the full support of railroad Teamsters, who, by the way, agreed to support any picketing at the ports or across the country by union members on May 1, 2006, MayDay protests.
speaking for myself, I've only just started getting into reading some information about the corridor and the railroad operation of it, in particular.
What I do remember reading, posted earlier tonight, was only about union members (of the ports) were against the Punta port because they could see the writing on the wall so to speak, about the job losses.
The Union leaders, otoh, are very much in favor of this.
As far as the unions concerning the railroad, I wouldn't doubt that it may be similar feelings, but don't know that as a fact yet.
Definitely a good question and one well-worth looking into for an answer/connection.
You know, every page we turn there's not only nothing to refute/disprove any of our conclusions, there's just an entire 'nother layer of crap.
There will come a day, if this goes to completion, they will be sorry. And that's when the new port in MEXICO becomes operational and puts 75% of Long Beach out of work!
Looks like a divide and conquer plan to me. First Texas then the US. There will be many folks in small towns here that won't know what hit them. Just wait. Someone in the media needs to get on this fast! We have enough crime and disease coming across now, just think how much more will come with the corridor and this railroad direct from MeCHA.
More North American Union poison for our ciizens.
Lays it out quite clearly.
Good.
Should have been done away with by blocking initial enactment. Repeal is always much harder.
True. Their feet need to be held to the fire by their constiuents, who HAVE to learn about this, somehow.
The octopus has tentacles all about.
Doesn't it, though! These plans will do nothing but destroy our country, and then the criminals will wreck havack on what's left.
