    Exactly what I have been wondering!!!

    They say they can't afford the fuel, but they decide to convoy down to DC and drive around in circles.

    When they get there, I give them 30 mins before the CIA/FBI/Cops, etc. kicks them out for being a "threat"

    Hey that would be one way to pay for the trip.. They have permits, as long as they abide by them, they will be allowed to protest. That is a right Americans would demand be allowed.
    Look for a brown van with Kentucky plates, The mans handle is "Burnt Beans"... He cant afford the diesel so he is driving in his van.

    This ring any bells?


    Bill of Rights

    Amendment I

    My friend Burnt Beans is back in his van at the RFK stadium, the rain was torrential and the protest has temporarily moved inside a building.

    He says the news agencies are well represented, and a lot ( 300 or so) trucks are there. There should be some good publicity about this today even with all the rain.

    He is waiting for the rest of them to come back outside the building so they can all leave together.. ( can you say their permit expires at 5 pm rush hour....LOL)
