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.

Convooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooy!

How close are we to a civil war? Just seems every one has so much hate for each other and now we are starting to see more and more of these types of protest.

Not really civil "war", more like civil unrest. Libs do it all the time and it's great, but if conservatives ever do it "it's civil war". Did anyone think Occupy Wall Street was civil war?

If they're pissed about the Constitution being ignored then why are they upset with congressmen? They need to go after Obama.

We are beyond the point of no return. That happened the eve we reelected Barrack Obama. The warnings were there. The country didn't listen.

Impact is imminent.

It's just not a convoy without a chartreuse microbus. Hope they manage to find one to join in.

They should drive around the national mall while the illegals have their rally.

Barrack will never know which truck holds Michael Knight

I'm thinking the 60's and early 70's were much worse than what we are dealing with now. Let me know when the govt. open fires on a tea party rally ala Kent State. We survived that we will survive this.

The 60's was only about Vietnam ... just one issue. One party didn't believe the Vietnamese people were worth fighting for, and the other party did.

Now the parties are divided on every issue. The split is much deeper in this century.

It's just because you are out of power you think that UConn. The problem is the far right has taken over the party. You have become a regionalized party. You need to moderate to get back into power.

As someone who lived in DC for two years, I can confidently say this will have little to no impact on anything. The beltway has several other highways that converge with it. It's not just a circle that you can only enter via on ramps.

The people they're hoping to impact won't be impacted by this at all. Many of the people working on Capitol Hill live in the district, so they're not going to be on the beltway anyway.

Zeeda Andrews, a former country music singer helping promote the protest, said last week participants would present demands to congressmen – including the impeachment of President Barack Obama – and give the congressmen an opportunity to agree to the demands in exchange for canceling the ride.

Conlon and Andrews say Obama committed "treason" by allegedly funneling weapons to al-Qaida-linked rebels in Syria. Members of Congress who support arming Syrian rebels, Conlon said, are accessories to the alleged crime. He identified House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., as politicians he will seek to arrest for alleged acts against the Constitution.

Andrews said last week 3,000 truckers had RSVP-ed to the event, and Conlon says he's now lost count of the number. He says he's receiving around 100 emails a day from prospective participants."

If they intend to have Obama, Pelosi and Feinstein arrested, more power to them.

You're too busy projecting your leftist leanings on everyone else. Very myopic. You'd do better MYOB.

I heard some young little liberal say that on the news the other day. Then you repeat it like a parrot. Thus proving liberals are given their talking points and robotically repeat them like zombies.

Agree, but more importantly, why would the Republicans ever want political ideas from the Leftists?

It's a little tactic liberals like to use. Pretend the GOP must adopt more of their initiatives and sentiments to survive. Pretend the mainstream is starting to adopt their viewpoints.

They don't. But leftists believe they do, and here are some possible reasons why

Leftists are so solipsistic that they think the world revolves around them and their ideas, or that it should (and they'll make it so!)

Leftists want to squash all other ideas b/c they fear the marketplace

Leftists want to be a constant nusiance to sensible people so they are distracted and far less effective...b/c more effective means more demonstration of how absurd leftists ideas are.

It can't get much slower.
