'Truckers for the Constitution' Plan to Slow D.C. Beltway, Arrest Congressmen

Police must detain 'accessories' to 'treason' or truckers will, organizer says

Truck drivers slow down traffic on the highway A1 on Oct. 18, 2010, near Lille, France. American truckers plan a similar protest beginning Friday, according to organizers.

Truck drivers slow down traffic on the highway A1 on Oct. 18, 2010, near Lille, France. American truckers plan a similar protest beginning Friday, according to organizers.

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.

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.

The truckers circling I-495 will keep the left lane open for emergency vehicles, Conlon said, but "everybody that doesn't have a supporter sticker on their window, good luck: Nobody in, nobody out." The trucks will be going the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit.

D.C. commuters who wish to be allowed past the convoy must have "T2SDA" – an acronym for the event's original name, "Truckers to Shut Down America" – written on their vehicle, he said.

"It's going to be real fun for anyone who is not a supporter," Conlon said, "[and] 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."

Zeeda Andrews, a former country music singer helping promote the protest, said last week participants would present demands to congressmen – including the impeachment of President Barack Obama – and give the congressmen an opportunity to agree to the demands in exchange for canceling the ride.

But Conlon says that's not quite right.

"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."

Conlon cited the idea of a citizens grand jury – meaning a pool of jurors convened without court approval – as the mechanism for indicting the officials.

"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."

It's almost certain that anyone attempting to "arrest" a member of Congress would be arrested themselves for attempted kidnapping.

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.

Andrews said last week 3,000 truckers had RSVP-ed to the event, and Conlon says he's now lost count of the number. He says he's receiving around 100 emails a day from prospective participants.

WOW! It really WILL solve the political problems that our nation experiences! And it does make sense to keep the ordinary people trapped on the highways, because government is at fault!

You go guys! Light my house on fire while you are at it too, would ya? That will show those goons in Washington! :)

I can't think of anything better if it were possible.How great it would be for politicians to know their promises mean something or should.AND that there are consequences for mismanagement of taxpayer money and trust

This doesn't even make sense

Light my house on fire while you are at it too, would ya? That will show those goons in Washington!

Perhaps I misunderstood what these people are trying to do, but it looks like these people are delaying traffic in Washington DC, and as we all know only politicians live there , in order to make some sort of statement that will never see any results of a light of day.

All these guys going to do is to piss of a whole bunch of drivers who need to get from point A to point B to perform their jobs, or see their families.

That's why I suggest them to burn my house down, because it will accomplish absolutely nothing in Washington, while at the same time making my life more difficult.

One of the reasons we are in this pass is the politicians have been given a pass for a very long time.

If the private sector were as irresponsible as the politicians and lied to their employers and the people they were responsible to they would be terminated.

[phkrause]

Exactly fc, this will not accomplish one thing. Like the politicians give a $%# what the truckers or anyone else does!!! What a joke!

What does that have to do with people driving on the highway that these truckers will be interrupting?

Should we protest the government by blocking access to your local Starbucks? How much sense would that make? Highways is how people get to work and home... ordinary people, not just politicians.

Blocking highways to protest the government is as ridiculous as blocking your local Starbucks to protest the government.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, and frankly, I think it should be fairly obvious.

It sounds like they are targeting the area where the politicians are.

Businesses and highways are blocked all the time when a president wants to have a little photo op.

There is an election next year and one two years later.Enough people get disgusted enough and follow suit they may get someone's attention

If they keep on with stunts like blocking the WW2 vets and yet open it up for a demonstration for amnesty for illegal aliens

they might be surprised at the level of disgust

It's bullying, pure and simple. In a democracy you *vote* to effect change: and accept it graciously when a majority votes differently. You *don't* use force.

A democracy is actually mob rule.The Pledge of Allegiance includes the phrase: "and to the republic for which it stands."

By your reasoning we would still be subject to England.

There is a right to peaceful assembly.

I travel on the 495 all the time and they'll only be frustrating ordinary people getting to work. Lots of contractors and office-works will have their day messed up. Most congressmen live inside 495 and will not be inconvenienced in anyway. Why don't they drive up to the capitol itself. Oh wait...they might get executed!

So what is the problem,Occupy Wall Street and all the grief it cost many small businesses didn't seem to cause so much agnst

At least they won't be raping women and using the top of cars as a bathroom

[lazarus]

So what is the problem,

OW actually protested in New York, IN the financial district. It's a 2 minute walk. At its closest point 495 is six miles from the Capitol. Protest? Of course! At least be close enough for the pols to hear horns blaring!!!

When they protested the Vietnam war it is said that Nixon feared for his life because of the noise and the proximity. 200 horns blaring would send a powerful message.

Occupy Congress has a nice ring to it. I'm all for radical movements.

Occupy Wall Street cost financial hardship to many small businesses.

So if the HVAC man gets stuck on the 495 that's not hardship?

[lazarus]

One of their goals is to bring hardship:

In a post written Sept. 16, Andrews described her goals for the "Truckers Shutdown."

"No commerce on those days stock up on items that you will need," Andrews wrote. "No banking no shopping no money transactions. It does not matter If a million or 50 roll through DC in this effort. Congress will listen to We The People. Which is, remove Obama from office for crimes of treason and misdemeanors. We want Congressional hearing on Benghazi and Seal Team 6. Louis Learner (sic) put in jail. No amnesty, remove all Muslims in our government that do not uphold the Constitution."

Didn't sat that so please stick to what has been said.

It is not as much a hardship for the HVAC man as it was for those affected by Occupy Wall Street that went on and on with women being raped and other barbaric behavior.

The dead beats in Occupy Wall Street wanted others to take care of them. The truckers are not asking for that,they already work very hard
