    Im AFRAID to challenge these guys with no REAL PLAN! or DEMAND!

    And DAM, I dont want to be the ONE to STOP FIRST!

    I'll STOP with others but, Im not STOPING " ALONE"

    Will goto Jail for creating PANIC!

    I guess if i've got 3 other DRIVERS willing to stop with me DEAD in the middle of I80? We'll GET R DONE!

    Cant be to long of JAIL time right? And You all will post BAIL?

    With the way things are right now and the way we are all so READY to do this at the DROP of a hat? If it's not happening allready?

    WHAT actually would happen If I did round up 4/6 O/O's and actually BRING
    the OHIO turnpike to a PARKING LOT?

    Someone tell me what to expect and I'll tell you if I'll Stop that traffic sometime this week if PROVOKED by another Hand!

    I was not a driver at the time of the other STRIKE or shutdown!
    I was to young.... What Can I expect? And What would actually happen?

    depends on your fellow drivers actually. IF everyone takes up the cause probably not much. But if they want to make an example then it could get into interfearing with interstate commerce. which are big big time deals. That's why I say get the banners pull on the off ramps and overpasses and hang them up. Blocking the interstates coould end badly. but I'm sure it would get enough attention that some good lawers would get in on the action for ya

    NEEDS TO THINK REALLY HARD ABOUT!!!!

    If you stop the traffic on the highways,all you will do is piss off the 4-wheelers.We NEED the support of the general public if we want to get something accomplished.Stopping up traffic WILL NOT get them behind our
    cause!Major highway,big slowdown,yes.Bringing traffic to a complete halt,no way.You will for sure go to jail,probably have NG troops broughtin,and then you have the people who like to start throwing rocks off overpasses,shooting at trucks,etc.I know there is not a lot of it out there anymore,ut we need to use some common sense in whatever we do.

    EXACTLY USING BANNERS ON THE TRUCKS WILL GET 4 WHEELERS TO RESPECT WHAT WE ARE DOING WITHOUT PISSING THEM OFF AND THEY JUST MIGHT PARTAKE IN THE ACTIVITIES!
