Earl Conlon, a Georgia trucker who is handling logistics for the protest, told U.S. News tractor-trailer drivers will circle the beltway "three lanes deep" as he rides with other participants to Congress to seek the arrest of congressmen for allegedly disregarding the Constitution.
The truckers circling I-495 will keep the left lane open for emergency vehicles, Conlon said, but "everybody that doesn't have a supporter sticker on their window, good luck: Nobody in, nobody out." The trucks will be going the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit.
D.C. commuters who wish to be allowed past the convoy must have "T2SDA" – an acronym for the event's original name, "Truckers to Shut Down America" – written on their vehicle, he said.
"It's going to be real fun for anyone who is not a supporter," Conlon said, "[and] 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."
OK Conlon, how many people are you willing to main, injure, or kill to blockade DC and its people? How many of your trucker buddies are willing to go up against the Secret Service, DC Police, Capitol Police, and even the US Army? Because I guarantee you the first time you and your redneck asshole buddies flip over a minivan with an Obama/Biden sticker on it, you're going to have hell descend upon you.
Zeeda Andrews, a former country music singer helping promote the protest, said last week participants would present demands to congressmen – including the impeachment of President Barack Obama – and give the congressmen an opportunity to agree to the demands in exchange for canceling the ride.
But Conlon says that's not quite right.
"We are not going to ask for impeachment," Conlon said. "We are coming whether they like it or not. We're not asking for impeachment, we're asking for the arrest of everyone in government who has violated their oath of office."
OK, you do that. And the people whose sworn duty it is to protect our elected men and women of office will do their sworn duty and end you. You're coming whether thy like it or not?
They'll be ready. Because if you think America's just going to roll over and let you clodhoppers say "Well, we didn't win the election so we're just going to destroy your country" you've got another thing coming to you.
And by "another thing" I mean most likely people with heavy ordnance.
I hope you keep on truckin', buddy. Right to federal prison.

I expect roughly three to ten trucks, maximum. Fox may try to Photoshop (r) in more, but there's only so many truckers that the Koch brothers will buy diesel for...
"The trucks will be going the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit."
In Beltway traffic during rush hour? Good luck with that. I doubt anybody's going to notice these goobers mixed in with all the other vehicles they have to get around.
The DC area is (naturally) very hard hit hit by the shut down. i am sure this will go over great there. It will guarantee that VA goes Democratic.
