Truckers Ride For The Constitution

A Trucker’s Prayer



Quiet and alone,

I drive staring pensively, out at the road,………



It starts to rain, so I slow down with a moan,

It has been too long, since I’ve been home,……..



I’m tired and I ache, my hands are calloused and black,

From tarping, chaining and tying down freight with straps,.



The radio station crackles, then fades in and out,

I am left with only my own thoughts, to think about,….



Maintenance, tolls, the cost of fuel keeps going up,

But, there is only so much a broker will pay for a truck,….



So, the money is tight and my tires are worn,

My shirt, socks, and pants are stained and torn,……



It certainly takes a special breed to be out here on the road,

Like gypsies, we wander, hauling our heavy loads,….



With mishaps and breakdowns, it sure makes you pray,

Dear God, ride with me, so I can truck another day,….



And HE does, this I know,

As I hum along to the now clear radio,…..
 

Things have smoothed out now, as I move along,

And after my prayer, I don’t feel so alone,…..


Tired and hungry, I pull in to our drive,

Long since dark, at a quarter till nine,…….



With all of the set backs, I still thank my luck,

And as I turn the knob to our home,

I thank God for my truck.

 
(Written by Kelly Horan)

 

 

 

 





Can the truckers in America return our sacred Constitution?

Truckers in our country are a strong, loyal, and brave lot, as they traverse our highways, with what is the equivalent of a 80,000 lb. land ship, and deliver the goods that make our civilization run smoothly. They are the veins,…the arteries, moving the very life blood, of our country’s body.

What happens when this rugged and proud group come together, to stop the on slot of laws that are being steadily written against the average citizen?

Gas prices, low wages, along with the over regulation of truckers in the transportation industry, has become quite crippling, and the ability to make a decent living, exceedingly hard.

We have steadily watched as our freedoms have been whittled away,…and believe me when I say,… I write this with a mournful heart.

We, as Americans, have been witness to,……

* Occupy protesters being sprayed in the face with tear gas, while holding their signs and standing on a public sidewalk (huddled and corralled in a temporary fence.) Peaceful, ...these citizens were simply exercising, what once were PROTECTED Constitutional rights, to assemble and protest,…..

* Citizen protesters shot with rubber bullets (by the police who are rapidly becoming militarized) landing the innocent and injured into the intensive care units,…..

* Peaceful veterans being arrested, while holding a ceremony at a public memorial,….(see video link below),…

* Numerous attempts at gun grabs, after what many believe to be staged and set up events,….

* Naked body scanners at airports,…..

* TSA setting up random checkpoints, and also in operation at high school proms,….
* Homeland Security and TSA, setting up checkpoints and pat down centers for bus and train stations, sports stadiums, shopping malls, hotels and religious centers,….


 

* NSA spying on the ENTIRE country,…..

* The NDAA which has things written in it that are SO anti-Constitutional and nightmarish, that even Hitler wouldn’t have dared to written such actions down,…..

* The Patriot Act,.which was written BEFORE 9-11, and needed an event to roll it in,.. (Ron Paul: “The Patriot Act was written many, many years before 9/11 and the attacks simply provided an opportunity for some people to do what they wanted to do”)…….

* Chem -trails in our air,…..

* Fluoride in our water (known as the chemical lobotomy),..


The list of distressing infringements upon Americans is vast. How much of this outrageous behavior by our government are you in agreement with?


"For in reason, ALL GOVERNMENT without the consent of the
governed is the very definition of SLAVERY."

--Jonathan Swift




So,.. can our truckers ride into Washington D. C. and turn this runaway train around?

Well,..that is exactly what is being planned.

 

The truckers along with the rest of the nation have watched the government unroll their use of spy drones, complete with eavesdropping capabilities and the distribution of armored vehicles to police departments, to be used on civilian streets!

Even more distressing is the stocking up, of hollow tipped bullets (to be used by DHS) and it is enough ammunition to kill each man, woman and child in our country, MANY times over.



A purchase order made by Homeland Security, is for 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo, which is more than enough to sustain a 20 year war, inside our own country!

Why does ‘Homeland Security’ want hollow tipped bullets, as they are twice as expensive as regular bullets, and FORBIDDEN by international law for use in war?

This shocking fact is followed by shooting targets being ordered with women, children and old men sitting in easy chairs, printed on them. (Sickening isn’t it?)

The government may be currently in a shut down mode, but the truckers of this nation have had enough and are ready to ROLL into Washington D. C.!

 

Traffic is expected to be slowed to a crawl, or even to stop completely.

 

What the truckers see as the destruction of our once great nation, has resulted in this mass action. Those who believe in our previously free nation, are on board with the members of Congress being held accountable, and possibly arrested, for writing and/or agreeing to UNCONSTITUTIONAL laws against the people.

 

‘ Truckers Ride for the Constitution’ welcomes participants, who wish to come together for a demonstration on the Capital Beltway, beginning this Friday, October 11th, 2013.

Stock up on the necessities you think you will need now, because these big rig heroes will NOT be hauling freight, and they are plowing the way, for our freedoms to be restored.

 

 

The Facebook page, belonging to ‘Truckers Ride For The Constitution’ had tens of thousands of supporters, as of this writing. People from across the nation, wanting to participate, have added their sentiments.

 

Expect the Washington D. C. Beltway to be clogged three lanes deep for THREE,… FREEDOM RESTORING,… DAYS!

 According to the support I have read, you will see youth present with cameras in hand (to keep a video log of the activity) and cars who will honk their horns wildly in support.

 

Earl Conlon, speaks up for the group (that is growing exceptionally) and he says the truckers seek the arrest of certain members of Congress who have violated their oath of office.

Conlon went on to say, "We want these people arrested, and we're coming in with the grand jury to do it."

Many of the patriotic truckers are completely disgusted with the government’s shocking position of arming Al Qaeda-tied members of the Syrian opposition. (Imagine our ever more secretive government, is funding KNOWN terrorists, who are cutting the heads off of Christians in Syria! Did you ever think you would see the day?)

If a citizen in the area wishes to pass a truck in this freedom convoy, you will need to have a sign in your vehicle window, stating you are in full support of the movement. If you don’t have the sign,…then it’s off to the back of the line, while the freedom riders do their important work.

 

 

Conlon said, "It's going to be real fun for anyone who is not a supporter. 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."
(There is a discrepancy on the Facebook page for the organization, stating that Conlon has no authority to speak on behalf of the ‘Ride For The Constitution’ group and they have no desire to be associated with any unlawful activity.)


Stepping forward on behalf of the group is Pete Santilli and he says, "One of our demands is NON-NEGOTIABLE,… President Obama must be removed from office for crimes against the United States and all UN-constitutional executive orders nullified. How that is accomplished legally,… is for the legal and constitutional experts to determine."

As I continued to read the enormous amount written on the trucker’s strike, I have come across pages of veterans who plan on joining in on the occasion, along with courageous bikers, who will be returning (from their recent ride on Washington) to support the movement.

Other truckers from across the nation are agreeing to shut down their rigs and park, while citizens everywhere will be taking to their capitol, overpass, or town square, and joining in to stop the criminal infringement on our rights.

If you are unable to physically participate, there are other ways you may assist, and have your voice heard. People are stating they will NOT shop or buy gas, until the truckers are done. This is expected to last from the 11th to the 13th of October, 2013.

I send love ♥ and blessings to those who bravely stand up for our once free nation. Keep your thoughts POSITIVE, and your heart filled with love, as we work together as a collective, to shine a light on FREEDOM.

Love and blessings to you my dear earth family,….this movement can very likely have a ripple effect upon the world.

Update on the truckers ride!

Even though this grand effort was beset by much sabotage, it is still considered a triumph by those who believed in this patriotic occasion.

The undermining included Face book pages taken down on numerous times (highly distorting the true number of supporters). Twitter account holders reported suspended communication on the event, and live streams to keep the people updated were shut down. Furthermore,.. personal accounts of organizers were hacked into, and electronic harassment reported.

Despite all the action to impede the ride,....it went off with a bang, and the people involved and those who supported it, were very excited to be doing something, to return our free way of life.


This next, brief video shows you some of the rolling trucks as they ride together in solidarity. You will see two slow moving convoys, where cars with flags, and regular trucks joined in with the BIG RIGS, to make a very important statement.

Already people are asking WHEN and WHERE is the next 18 wheeler convoy, to stop this tyrannical take over of the United States!

In fact SO MANY people were fired up by the movement, bands volunteered their music, and food was brought to locations where  truckers could take a break from the ride and enjoy something warm to eat. Even free vinyl lettering was offered to truckers, by those who supported the cause!

People from overpasses recorded from many locations, and videos galore show the success of the event.

Enjoy this 4min video, it will give much needed hope for our country.

This next video shows the women, men, youth (and even a cute little dog)....who either directly rode in the convoy, or supported the truckers valiant efforts. This is a wonderful montage of pictures, which shows the heart of America, standing strong, against the massive wave of current tyranny.

 #T2SDA is EVERYWHERE,...just take a look.

(Video is about 4 minutes long.)
