I believe I saw this truck parked in front of this bidness......

The NAFTA Nightspot & We-No-Tell-Motel....

See, the NAFTA Superhighway is already developing new bidnesses.....

My favorite line:

“Our elected government officials, including the President of the United States, work for us, the legal citizens of the United States of America, we are their boss, not the other way around. Either they start listening to us, or there will be serious consequences to their ill willed, greed driven, self-serving, corrupt behavior.”

Hmmm... I got an email from a friend with information on this “event” a few weeks back. Then just a few days ago, received another that said the event had been canceled - it had grown out of hand for the organizers.

And now this “story”... So where is the truth?

[SuzyQue]

Your response gives a whole new meaning to “NIMBY”.

[Colorado Doug]

rolling roadblocks isnt the way to do it.

I would much rather have the roadblocks for a day or two than Mexican trucks getting cart blanch on American highways forever. Nothing else is working. Bush seems dead set on making this the United States of Mexica

The story is TRUE! The Truckers Boycott is still ON, according to the Truckers' Boycott website, saveamericafund (click on links below):

To me, it sounds like the second e-mail you received stating the boycott is OFF maybe part of a misinformation campaign of some kind designed to keep truckers or others from participating in the boycott. Nowhere on the saveamericafund website (the organizers of the boycott) does it mention the boycott being cancelled.

I believe we got us some convoys.

Wondered what you might be hearing on the truckers network?

[leadpenny]

No one will notice in the DC area. They’ll just figure it’s another gridlock day.

[JoeSixPack1]

Once again Independent Truckers come to the rescue.

The only trucks and truckers able to specifically attend this event and not just jump on board because they have a load going through DC, are the independents.

Nowhere is there any mention of large freight hauling companies (Union run companies) joining in. But you can bet the farm that any company drivers in DC during the protest will join in.

As for moi, this is one traffic jam I can happily endorse.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yep!

[Springman]

Haven’t heard anything on the Midnight Truckers Radio Network. They have been talking about Imus all week.

However in the Detroit News, James P. Hoffa wrote an op-ed about Mexican trucks, can’t remember when, a few weeks ago? Safety of the rigs, skills of the drivers.

[TigersEye]

This is a great thing. Trucking is only one industry that stands to die in this country if we don’t stop DCs sellout of our sovereignty.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"I dont care if they circle the White House and the Capitol but when they jam me up I am going to say bring in the Mexicans."

It's all about you, huh? You have my vote for ignorant post of the weekend.

[Paperdoll]

Good for the truckers! GOOD FOR DUNCAN HUNTER, a man fighting for what is right as we speak. He is the man to steer our ship of state through the rough waters in which we find ourselves.

[wastedyears]

Al Gore is already crying.

[Paperdoll]

And thankyou, Jerome Corsi, for the thread.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

"There's no law against anything we're doing," she said. "Even on the freeways, for trucks to go all the way across the freeway and back up traffic, there's no law that says that's illegal."

What if trucks are forbidden in the left lane?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., whose NAFTA Trucking Safety Act is now working its way through House committees, commented to WND on the "Truck-Out" boycott.

"The growing opposition to the pilot program and the overall effort to grant cross-border truckers immediate and direct access into the United States should not be ignored," he said.

"People have a right to be concerned with the Mexican truck pilot program," said Hunter, "especially when it could potentially compromise their safety and our nation's security."

Hunter stressed the reasons he has introduced the NAFTA Trucking Safety Act, noting it's "important that the implementing authority listen to and thoroughly address these concerns before moving forward with the program."

"It is simply outrageous that our government plans to allow Mexican trucks full reign of U.S. highways before all safety, economic and homeland security concerns are completely and appropriately addressed," he said.

Illegals are already killing more Americans here at home then are being killed in US military operations worldwide.

A few thousand more Americans dying for Mexico won't bother Bush one bit.
