I thought DC was supposed to be shutdown by their groundswell of fellow Truckers until the Police arrested Barack Obama? Last I heard, about 30 trucks showed up. What a bust. They should of organized something like this after the 2000 & 04 elections, or during the drafting of the Patriot act, the Bush Doctrine, etc. The Freepers were pushing this thing like it was going to be an occupy Wallstreet.

And let them go. Maybe they were threatened with arrest if they did

a pat on the head and suggested that there was fresh coffee in their Moms' basements.
