Anyone have any big plans for the next 2 days that we can all follow up on? Anyone have any good suggestions for a 2 DAYS TILL big BANG effort to let everyone know about Mon. May 5, 2008? Seriously, if anyone has any good ideas as to what we can do to really blow this thing out to the public in these remaining 2 days, now is the time to tell us all about it. Anything at all. We're down to the "Go or Go Home" time now.

Welcome Back ! It's just really good to see you back here with us again. We're glad you're still alive, and glad to hear that you're at least feeling a little better. I think this has taken it's toll on quite a few of us at least emotionally, if not physically. Anyway, Great to see you here. Have An Awesome Day Kiddo

Thankyou sweetie, I know this has been very hard on all of us who have devoted our lives to this. I'm well enough to get back to work. Whatever happens next week, i'm ready to continue this fight until something gives. We have congresses, the president attention now we just need to put more pressure on them and force them to react.

You know how we really can't get the T.V. news to pay to much attention to us,screw the reporters, start calling the weatherman or e-mailing them, ask what the forcast for May 5th Truckers & Citizens Shutdown will be.
And we need to know fire conditions for the big bang as to setting off Fire Works............................

HeHeHe,,,,,it's funny, but I like it. Good idea, and I think it will work....I'll be trying it out later today. I'll bet it gets some attention or at least a comment from one of the 4 we have here locally. I'll let you know. By the way, there are some good topics being discussed on the "Results of the Washington DC Rally" forum. Ya'll may want to also check that one out.....

Why do I get the distinct feeling that we're just pissing in the wind here? I just looked back through the forum, and in the past 20 posts, the same 3 people have made 15 of them, and two others made the other 5. That's what I call real input. When I look back, and look into things a bit deeper, I think I have a pretty good idea what is going on. I believe things here might go a bit better if I just stayed on the sidelines and didn't post here anymore. Maybe without my being here some of the others may come back and get this thing going again. It's been a great experience ya'll, I've enjoyed meeting most of you. There are a few that I almost wish I hadn't. Hopefully this Mr. NiceGuy approach that American Driver has for this protest or whatever it is that it has become, works. I don't really see it happening. Like I said many times before, you don't win WARS by being NICE. You have to fight to win. I believe that this will probably be my last post, however I will continue to keep up with what ya'll are up to here. Thanks Again for the experience and Have An Awesome Weekend.

I feel a need to say something at this point. I joined this forum over a month ago. I was frustrated, angry and fed up with the direction our country is headed. I felt as though i was going to bust if i didn't take some kind of stand. I was greatfull to find a place I could go and have an outlet for support and most of all to fight for our livelyhoods. I did not come here to argue, to offend anyone or to try to take any glory here and i have had my feelings hurt here in the past, but I came here to try to make a diffence in our country. That is what this forum should be about. We are all indivuals with different opionions and i just try to respect that. We are fighting for our lives here and that is what this forum is really about. I think you all are awsum and i want to continue this battle with all of you.

It is very hard when you are fighting with everything you've got and you hear of more and more people going broke. One of the hardest fighting people we have on this forum is about to have her phone shut off and will loose her computer access, which will put her out of business for this fight. Her and her husband can no longer hang on, who's next? Dan Little of the U.S. Cattlehaulers reported 42,000 o/o went out of business last month. How many this month will not survive. This is becoming a reality for many that can not hang on month after month. As my husband says, "Most drivers are one break down away from bankruptcy."

We'll i see at this point the shutdown did not go so well asfor here in indiana the shutdown didn't even exist for most. The reason this has happened is because honestly it is not like back in the late 70's when solidarity was abound here in the US. Now days we have the companies barely surviving and the economy on a downhill slide, yes it was a good idea but i will stick to what i have stated all along, "The Shutdown is but one piece of this very large puzzle. sign the petition it is truely for All Truckers and Citizens to unite against the US government and get them off there butt's to do the right thing by the citizens of the US. After all we the people are not just the truckers but all of us are US Citizens. I DON'T THINK SO [Fuel Petition] US National Fuel Petition

I'm pretty sure most of us here have already done so. I also made flyers and added the fuel petition to it. Anyway it never hurts to post it again for guests or new members. Thanks.
