American's Protest Around the Country...

[rebel]

Just a reminder TTW,
I think there is strength in unity and numbers,so this is good. Protests all on the same day would be impressive. If some happened a little sooner or later it would get media attention - maybe more as if a wave was rolling across the country. Like any battle plan some adjustments are inevitable, don't worry.
Also as SS reminded us a pedestrian protest can be done without permit on ANY day (Aug 27th) So if there are multiple driving protests at the end of Aug with driving/pedestrian protests on Aug 27th in capitals this is still our plan-just more of it. So like I said don't sweat the small stuff let's just do our best.

So Rebel, is your vote to proceed on with what we started?

[lunachic]

we still have know clue as to what they are talking about as far as a protest. Just that they and I'm not saying this in a bad way, posted right after we made the announcement.
are they joining in on the 27th?
what do they have in mind?
The phone deal is good. But that is all they have mention,

[rebel]

Of course TTW, We just keep on rolling, speedbumps and all.

This is like a snowball, airline CEOs, truckers, antiwar activists is an odd combination, don't you think? But if it scares our government into listening to the will of the people then we've accomplished at least one of our goals - maybe the most important one. That they are employed to serve the people and to listen when we speak. Then when we say do this or that - they'll do it.
Right now I'm just saying let it roll(snowball) and we're gonna try and steer it to roll over those that are hurting the USA

I know what you are saying. Here is my concern: If we start putting out a date plastering it everywhere and they put out a different date then it will become confusing for people. That is my only concern. That is why we should take a vote on it and i'll go along with the majority.
Rebel votes yes, what's your vote?

My vote is Yes. The key to success is to stay Focused on what you set out to do...Don't let someone or something else sidetrack you.

[rebel]

We're all still agreed the only thing I'm saying is when different groups or people have different dates don't sweat it or think that they're gonna screw us up. Don't worry about it. We're all working to get this country back on track. If we can get everyone at once - great. If others do it different - just let it happen and remember we can't predict the future. But if we're doing the right thing it will all work out for the best. Just keep rollin.

ok, 8pm eastern.

Im suprised the truck stops and fuel stations wouldn't somewhat support putting the flyers up on their pumps since they don't really benefit from high fuel prices. Especialy smaller non-large corporation owned places. They don't rely on fuel sales to keep them open, but rather fuel sales to get you in the door so you buy something from their stores. Thats how they make their money.

[rebel]

Ah, screw'em
What I do is walk in bathroom with flyers and roll of tape, put'em in stalls or by paper towels and leave. If they come down, ijust put'em back up.

but we do what we need to do, and continue from there.

All we are waiting on to get started is for S.S. to create the flyer and post it and then we can start mass emailing it.

here we go again, I just read yesterday where dan little is calling for a protest on 9/11 Mark has called for something on the 17th and now the 27th date is floated by folks on this site.
folks it seems as if there are a lot of people that agree that something needs to be done but everyone is just picking a date out of the air and announcing it without any thought of nationwide ORGANIZING!!!!

this is exactly why NONE of the protests have worked before and it is also why the good people that want to do something are losing heart.

you all are trying to eat the dessert without baking the cake or even putting the recipe together.

now with 3 different dates going what is going to happen is nothing as people are going to just ignore all of them.

we lost the chance to unite everyone together last april when everyone was primed and ready to do something by so many people throwing different dates and ideas out to the public without any of the groups that people were listening to even trying to organize and unite their small groups into one LARGE group that would have a chance of really getting the job done!!!

this kind of non plan to unite is working against everyones interest as we all are just proving the old saying that you cannot get two truckers to agree on anything.

I did not know about anyone doing anything of this nature and that is why i was trying to put something together, I have been on TACU web site to see if they have posted anything about a protest or date, i also contacted them and requested information, the dates you have just posted are the first time i have heard about any of this.

[lunachic]

Why did everyone wait till after we posted our plans?

check out the call to action thread on this site for the 7-17 date

the call for the 9-11 thing was on a thread I found on truckersreport, and as I can't remember the thread it was in on that site I am not going to take the time to hunt it back down, if you have the time I am sure you can find it there.

Not trying to argue jammer, but the call to action thread has nothing to do with protesting at the state capitols, I will go on the us cattle haulers and see if i can find out anything there on a protest.
