Truckers’ Drive in Progress

OBAMA FORGERIES LISTED IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA REPORT

by Sharon Rondeau

(Oct. 11, 2013) — CBS News has reported that as of 10:00 a.m., the Truckers’ Drive for the Constitution “only had about 30 participants” on the road outside of Washington, DC.  However, a posting on a Facebook page on Friday said that hundreds more are on their way.

The Truckers’ Drive for the Constitution idea was launched several weeks ago to protest government abuses, and there appear to be several different groups involved.  Zeeda Andrews is the organizer of RidefortheConstitution.org, while “the founder” interviewed by The Post & Email earlier this week told us that many groups are participating.

The Patriot Command Center has a link to RidefortheConstitution.org on its site.  A Twitter feed at hashtag #T2SDA links to an article in National Review which states that Andrews asserts in a list of demands and grievances to be presented to Rep. Louis Gohmert on Sunday, including one which reads, “‘Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama’ is ineligible to be president because ‘his documents’ are ‘forgeries.’”  The truckers and many veterans will gather at the World War II Memorial, which has been officially closed by the government shutdown, at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday.

For the last two weeks, Andrews has been hosting radio shows and updates on Pete Santilli’s Guerilla Media Network.  A photo on her Facebook page appears to show tractor-trailers in all four lanes of I-495 on Friday morning.

A “satire” piece published at RedState.com on Thursday stating that I-495 might be closed by National Guardsmen on the order of Obama was circulated widely during a time when national parks, monuments, health research, the Veterans’ Administration, HUD, and other government departments are closed because of a partial shutdown resulting from lack of agreement on appropriations by both chambers of Congress.

Military death and funeral benefits were also suspended by the Department of Defense, although on Thursday evening, Obama signed a bill which clarified that they were to be paid during the shutdown.

At 11:10 a.m. EDT, The Post & Email spoke with “the founder,” who told us:

This is a precursor to what’s going on in April.  The problem is that the word didn’t get out there enough.  The other problem is that a lot of them work for corporate trucking companies.   The truckers want us to do certain things and they will stand down with us, but because of their jobs and what’s going on, it has to be done and timed correctly.  England, Australia, Canada and other countries want to do this.

Most people driving a truck have cell phones and they no longer have CBs.  They’re ready to get the word out there.  April is going to be a huge shutdown.  The whole idea of the event this month is for people to do whatever they wanted.  Whatever happens now is a precursor to what’s going to happen in April.  We’re planning it together as a group, even groups that don’t drive trucks.

We want to make sure that it stays on track.  It’s going to be massive.

It went viral with the trucker thing.  At the same time, we won’t interfere with medical emergencies, transportation of medications.  Some people might just run out and they’re waiting for that medication to get there.  So as a whole, the next one is going to be huge, but it has to be done right so nobody, absolutely nobody but the corporations and the government suffer.  There’s to be no violence, and medical emergencies services and law enforcement will be able to continue their jobs without being interfered with.

I’m working on that other story for you.

Update, 12:14 p.m. EDT:  NBC News is reporting video from the truckers’ event and that “They slowed traffic on Washington’s Beltway in a rolling protest.”  Some drivers were stopped but reportedly not issued traffic tickets.

Weasel Slippers will be posting new photos throughout the day.  A tweet posted to Facebook reads, “I-95 Eisenhower Connector in MD…Sure Looks Busy.”

The link to the announcement that Rep. Louis Gohmert would be accepting a list of grievances from truckers, veterans and others gathered on Sunday is non-functional as of this update.
