'Truckers For The Constitution' Plan To Clog D.C. Beltway, Arrest Congressmen Tractor-trailer drivers will intentionally clog the inner loop of the Washington, D.C., beltway beginning on the morning of Oct. 11, according to a coordinator of the upcoming "Truckers Ride for the Constitution" rally. Organizers of the three-day ride want to call attention to a litany of trucker frustrations and express their disapproval of national political leaders. 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. More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During rush hour, no one is capable of driving past the speed limit because there are just too many cars on the road. And it's already a mobile parking lot where 3 other major freeways interchange with it, as well as before the Woodward Wilson Bridge (southern bridge that cross the Potomac).

He should not be speaking for them. The warnings have been sent out to the news organizations who have quoted Earl as "a legitimate" member of this ride...I guess he's not. https://www.facebook.com/ridefortheconstitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do it. I don't much care about the earl guy, and I'm sure most drivers will let people in and out, its more of a publicity stunt then anything but even if they don't I say good for them. If I owned my own rig that's where I'd be. I doubt it will change anything, but its good to see there are people still willing to stand up for what they believe in.

What's stopping him from doing that now? Why does he need all the trucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cares if a single truck rides around in circles. Regardless he's not a actual spokesman as has already been pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This protest wants the arrest of congress. It seems contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
