'Truckers for the Constitution' Plan to Slow D.C. Beltway, Arrest Congressmen
US News & World Report ^ | October 7, 2013 | By Steven Nelson

Posted on 10/07/2013 6:33:28 PM PDT by Fireone

Earl Conlon, a Georgia trucker who is handling logistics for the protest, told U.S. News tractor-trailer drivers will circle the beltway "three lanes deep" as he rides with other participants to Congress to seek the arrest of congressmen for allegedly disregarding the Constitution. "We want these people arrested, and we're coming in with the grand jury to do it," he said. "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."

Conlon has been disavowed by the organizers of the protest.

He appears to be one of that breed of men, all too common, who see a popular movement arising and, not content to join in, seek aggrandizement by jumping in front and claiming a leadership role.

More negatively, he may actually be an agent provocateur acting, on his own or in concert with others, to derail the protest by swerving its aims into areas of questionable legality and coloring the honest protesters with a false brush.

I would like to see EVERY truck driver in the country take three-four days in a row off and park their rigs in the middle of the highways with white flags on them(broken down) as a protest to this insane administration.That would send a message that the MSM could not avoid reporting on.

I remember this. I was nine years old and they came right by my house in Colorado on the way to DC. Hundreds of them. My Dad was clapping and cheering them on the whole way! Bunch of farmers just got up and went. It was awesome.

They need to drive them in to DC and park around the white hut and local golf courses.. that’ll get Barry’s attention.

> the Twitter feeds for the truckers are not allowing followers. Someone is trying to interfere with spreading the word. #T2SDA.

Zuckerberg is just following orders from his Emporer who can cut off quite a bit of cash flow by creating new regulations alone.

Take LOTS of pictures and post them at news sites online until they discover it and take them down. Also post them to your facebook page.

Especially if the MSM has any inconvenience from the truckers.

Just saw on twitter to stop buying anything Oct. 11-13 to support the truckers but be sure to stock up on supplies for both before and after those dates. Go truckers!

Thank you.
Tonight the FRONT PAGE of MSN has the trucker protest listed with most popular searches of the day. Folks are paying attention in spite of lamestream media trying to keep us in the dark! Wake up time!

From their Facebook page, they posted this:

****UPDATE GUYS****

The Truckers Ride For The Constitution is not a hoax, nor are we calling for any arrests or impeachments. Earl Conlon is falsely representing hisself as a spokesperson for our movement. This is to officially state that Mr. Conlon does NOT speak for the Truckers #T2SDA
