Citizens of America.
All this innumerable input from you of how to take America back , And it came to me your right.
Shut her down...................
Know one goes to work, banker, bars teller,clerks,resterants, dishwasher,all store's.
all industry. shut down.
3 to 7 day's And we could bring the Country to a halt...............
With everything closed you wont need to worry about buying gas, because they will be closed. and anyplace you want to go will be closed.
come on. At last I agree.
Put ur action with your mouth is.................
and with everything shut down, The trucks would not need to run.
Show us what you have......................................
Let me know the date's...................................

Did'nt think so, which brings me to my next point.
when did truckers not fall under citizen's.
Trucking industry is a job, just like what most of you do each day,
only longer hours,day's week, and at the end less money.
I belive in the end trucking will be under Gov. but it's not yet. we just pay more.
But then again some of your jobs will be too.
wow at least we will get benifits. Maybe even overtime and paid hoiday..............

this would be interesting to put into play.. but im the first to admit it will never happen. if we cant get the truckers to unite and stop driving, what makes you think the rest of the USA will stop work for a week?? we are talking about getting this message across to 300,000 million people...good luck.

You DON'T NEED 300 million to agree. Check out some of my posts. Just a few strategically placed rebels is all it takes to shut down miles and miles - then those that don't volunteer get automatically drafted into the blockade.
When your opponent is stronger and bigger you get smart and fast - just think "martial arts". Get it?

I've been kind of busy the last couple of weeks, but did anyone see those stories about truckers in Europe shutting down the highways because so many of them participated? Of course, the story said that a larger percentage of European truckers are independent, as opposed to corporation truckers.

I also wanted to pipe in here real quick to let folks know that oil futures prices have leveled off at about $135 per barrel. It has come close on some days, but it has not broken $140.

It also looks like the US Financials (banks) are teetering on the edge of a total melt down. It will still take some time to see if we pull out of the financial mess our country is in, or I could be wrong and it could come quick and ugly.

That's all,

It's the investment banks that have been gambling in the futures market. All commodities - oil.corn,cotton,soybeans,etc.
They lost their ass in mortgages so they've bought more oil in futures than Saudi Arabia has in the ground. This is why there is a "supply" problem - it's all on paper. The names are Goldman-Sachs (former employer of Sec. of Treas. Paulson), Lehman Bros., Morgan-Stanley, Citibank, Bear-Stearns.
Sound familiar?
They are trying to make up their losses out of our fuel tanks.

I can tell you of a trucker that did that in 1978 his handle was RIVERRAT EDWARDS drove for Great plains Trucking Independence Mo. He blocked I-80 in Pa. and shut the whole U.S. down. He didn't even own the truck.I know this because we both worked for the same company.
You all know what he got out of it? Fired and Black balled from trucking. Overdrive magazine (your trucking Magazine ) sold him out. I will never forget that driver he was a man's man. Danny
