It's really interesting that literally three days ago this website was brought to my attention Truckers to Shut down America since then as of this writing, has grown over 63,000 "likes" on Facebook literally within days and to top that off, Canada has just recently decided to join in to the effort and support Americans, with their website Canadians Truckers to Shut down.
Now before you start thinking that this is just a trucker deal or that the truckers are being selfish and that it's going to cost American businesses money, I wanted to discuss for a moment what the whole purpose of this strike is.
From their website... .
"The American people are sick and tired of the corruption that is destroying America! We therefore declare a GENERAL STRIKE on the weekend of October 11-13, 2013! Truck drivers will not haul freight! Americans can strike in solidarity with truck drivers!"
nobody would dispute that truckers were having a hard time making a living especially the owner operators with all the new regulations, license fees, permits and other fees and a lot of times they barely make their enough money to pay themselves and now you got to put a mandated insurance policy on them thanks to Obamacare.
But as I said on the onset, it's not just about trucks.
The strike is to send a message just like the recent rally known as the "Two Million Bikers" on 9/11 who rode across country into Washington, DC..
Other groups have formed in addition to the Tea Party such as Overpasses.org, Impeach Obama websites and others as Americans are getting fed up with our government and the fact that they are not listening to us anymore.
People are starting to speak up.
Recently with Syria, our representatives were receiving phone calls on an average of 500-1 against going to war.
Not only was the president embarrassed by claiming that he had a red line on Syria regarding chemical weapons and then denied it stating that it was something that the [evil] Republicans or the media drummed up.
Russian President Putin was surprisingly one of doing more to demand peace than our president.
if you have a Facebook account, go to the "truckers to shut down America" website and "like" them and spread the word.
Even if you're not a truck driver, or if you are and you cannot join the strike, you can still support the cause. Remember as the preamble says, "We the People..
