Truckers protest trial plan to permit Mexican trucks in U.S.
9/6/07
SAN DIEGODozens of truckers are waving signs and American flags at a San Diego border crossing to protest a pilot program that will allow up to 100 Mexican trucking companies to freely haul their cargo anywhere in the United States.
The U.S. Transportation Department is set to begin issuing operating permits as early as today. For that to happen, the department's inspector general must give his final blessing and Mexican authorities must issue permits to U.S. trucking companies to go anywhere in Mexico.

The Bush administration don't pander to protesters or flag waivers. The only thing they acknowledge is action. Shut your trucks down and stop pretending everything will be alright, because it WONT. We have the Constitutional duty to protect it from ALL enemies foreign and DOMESTIC! Well it's definitely under attack. I believe they want us to revolt, so they can declare Martial Law and do away with the Constitution. So were ###### if we do and ###### if we don't. We can shut down and draw attention to the problem.

Why won't everything be alright?

The reason it wont be alright is we have a government hell bent on giving up our national sovereignty. The government has an army of private mercenaries on its payroll to see to it too. Do a brief search for BlackwaterUSA and then Martial Law then come back here and tell me why its gonna be okay. Military Industrial Complex, look it up!

Ah, a throwback term, I thought it was the secret society of oil companies that was going to rule the world?
You NWO theorists crack me up. -
Shutting down your truck sounds like a good answer and it "might" at least bring bigger attention to you truckers, but how many truckers can actually afford to do this. Not many. All the truckers I know are out there doing a job, not because they have nothing else to do. They have families to support. They can't afford to miss one day of work. I understand fully what your saying, but there has to be another way of doing it. The American Trucker needs our full support right now, Americans need to stand together and unite, we've become way to "look out for ourselves, and not our neighbor" type of society. Maybe we (the families of truckers) could do more. I'm going to think on this for a while, any suggestions?

I don't believe BlackwaterUSA has to take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the Unit States, yet they carry automatic weapons and are hired by the US government. I believe thats against the constitution, for the gov to run a private army. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Nothing wrong with hiring Blackwater to provide security. Lots of firms have people in Iraq toting automatic weapons.
