‘TRUCKERS FOR THE CONSTITUTION’ DELIVER THEIR LIST OF DEMANDS — WHICH INCLUDES LANGUAGE ABOUT OBAMA’S ALLEGED ‘FORGERIES’

Oct. 11, 2013 1:14pm Becket Adams

“Truckers for the Constitution” organizer Zeeda Andrews on Friday circulated a list of demands that will supposedly be delivered to Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert.

Via @FBillMcMorris

Among them are suggestions that “Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama,” is a fake president because “his documents” are “forgeries.”
From the document:

From 2003 to 2008, several members of Congress introduced legislation, attempting to change Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution on eight separate occasions to make it possible for Barack Obama to meet the eligibility requirements for the office of president. Of which, a legal investigation has proven that his documents provided are forgeries, which is a felony offense.

The document goes on to state that the president, “with the help of corrupt politicians, and individuals in authoritative positions” is trying to destroy constitutional rights.
“Today, we again face another day in which we must declare our freedom, from yet another tyrannical, abusive form of government,” it reads. ”We are here, to send a resounding affirmation. We are here, to breathe life back into our Constitution. We are here, to declare our independence.”

“… a legal investigation has proven that his documents provided are forgeries…”

Share:

The document also includes criticisms of National Defense Authorization Act, the Affordable Care Act, the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration. It also accuses the White House of violating the War Powers Act.
Here’s what it has to say about the Department of Homeland Security:

The Department of Homeland Security is a non-military security force, which is violating the Constitution by using tax money to build a standing army, on American soil, training to engage with the American People.

And here’s what it has to say about the War Powers Act:

They have illegally put our military in a “War Zone” where they currently, guard opium productions and transport, police the people of other countries based on US law, they get authorization for military action from the United Nations Security Counsel [sic], which is High Treason, and they are exposing, and administering experimental, psychotropic, mind altering drugs for control over soldiers during secret, clandestine operations.

As of early Friday afternoon, the trucker group had not yet arrived in Washington, D.C. to deliver its list of demand to Gohmert.
They were also supposed to meet with members of Congress at the World War II Memorial, but apparently missed their opportunity due to traffic.

Trucker Protest Invades DC & Presents List of Demands to Texas Rep Louie Gohmert at World War II Memorial

7 Comments

If anyone has been following the develops of the last few weeks regarding the Trucker Ride for the Constitution, then you know there have been attempts to sabotage this historic and momentous event.

But, here is the actual facts of what is going on today.



General (Earnest) Lee and his group began the historic ride just after 7 AM this morning traveling NB on I-495 doing between 30 and 40 mph. Live Traffic cams along the corridor showed the 3 big rigs riding side by side across three lanes of traffic.

The General reported on the live broadcast via Pete Santilli that overpass groups were out in the rain in DC showing their support. Zeeda Andrews was awaiting the General on the northeast side of the beltway to meet up with the General to ride into DC. They were to present their list of demands to Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert at the WWII memorial. Other Congress members were to be there as well. The meeting was scheduled around 11 AM.

Several of the live cam feeds can be viewed here. It was a glorious sight to see these trucks flying their American flags on the back rolling by the cameras. The convoy did stop around 11 AM for a break at truck rest stops but will be resuming in full force after their break. More truckers and supporters are scheduled to hit the DC scene today and tomorrow. One report on the live broadcast indicated there were 300 trucks coming in from Florida, 100 from Michigan and the Alaska convoy was making progress in their trek to DC.



Fox News contacted the group the night before requesting an exclusive interview with the organizers; however, the news agency canceled at the last minute which left a media blackout for the event. It was reported live on Guerilla Media Network this morning that General Lee is scheduled to speak with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News along with another member of the news agency.



The website, ridefortheconstitution.org, had so much traffic it was experiencing problems. Visitors to the webpage were being redirected to the Facebook page. These problems have been corrected by dedicated server to handle the millions of visitors it was receiving, according to Pete Santilli during the live broadcast, and should be up momentarily.

The live broadcast of Ride for the Constitution via Pete Santilli can be heard and followed here along with the regular Pete Santilli show. Individuals have been calling in to show their support and others have taken up a chair in the chat room. If you would like to call in to show your support, the call in number is 218-862-9829 or you can visit Guerilla Media Network, Pete Santilli show to enter the chat room.



While many news organizations have reported that this event is a bust or has started too slow to maintain momentum, the amount of traffic to the trucker website, the live broadcast and the chat room would indicate otherwise. It is interesting the news media would pick the times just after the event started or while the truckers were taking a break to report on the event.

This is lamestream enemedia at its best. They want to discourage the American public. They want citizens to think this event has busted or not happening at all. These organizations have put forth false information from "truckers arresting congressmen" to "National Guard being called out to close I-495 around Washington." All that can be said is the truth is winning out and America cannot give up.

More trucks are on the way. The veterans are scheduled to join on Sunday. What are you doing?

If you would like to make a donation for fuel for the truckers, please send a mail to donate@ridefortheconstitution.org. A secure link will be sent for you to make a donation. Place the trucker support emblem, #T2SDA, on your vehicle and drive around town or place a sign in your yard. This ride is for all America and all Americans.

Time to shut down the money train people. DO NOT BUY GOODS THESE THREE DAYS!

It's on! Truckers roaring into D.C. NOW

The big rigs are invading Washington RIGHT NOW, good buddy.

They're joining bikers and veterans to protest the federal government's assault on the Constitution.

And WND is following the convoy as it rolls into town …

Happening now! Truckers roaring into D.C.

Big rigs invading nation's capitol to protest assault on Constitution

Dozens of big rig drivers and long-haul truckers took to the highways around Washington, D.C., Friday in a protest of the extra-constitutional activities of Congress and the president, as a weekend of planned political statements launched.

CBS reported that at one point, truckers were side-by-side-by-side-by-side across four lanes of Interstate 95 and were blocking traffic until a Virginia State Police officer pulled them over.

Video at the Page Link:

After talking with the officer, the trucks resumed their drive at a speed of about 40 mph, up from the 10 mph they had been going, the report said.

The truckers met at a travel plaza near Doswell, Va., to launch their protest on the Capital Beltway of what they view as an out of control government.
As the day progressed, there were no reports of significant problems, as well as no confirmation on the number of truckers involved.
WTVR reported police said as long as the truckers follow the law, there will be no interference with them.
But the station sent a reporter to a truck stop designated for a staging area, and came away with a few pointed comments about Washington operations.
“The way Congress is doing, they’ve basically throwed our Constitution in the trash,” Alabama trucker Brad Higgins told the station.
Add Stanley Levy, from Ohio. “Every time I turn around, I’m paying taxes, taxes, taxes, taxes, taxes. Come on, we’re 17 trillion dollars in debt – it’s like a credit card.”
And Tom Null from Indiana told the station, “We’re going to participate in the demonstration around the beltway in D.C. We just want to let government know that we’re tired of them doing unconstitutional things constantly. We don’t like the way the banking is going, with the Fed printing $85 billion dollars every month, diluting our money. My tires are costing 500 bucks apiece now.”
It’s just the latest in a series of citizen protests in Washington to try to get the attention of President Obama and Congress amid inside-the-beltway fights over Obamacare, funding the military, the administration’s shutdown of national parks, the poor economy and a long list of additional issues.
And it’s not the last.
The group called “2 Million Bikers to D.C.,” which held a Sept. 11 rally in Washington, clogged traffic then while expressing members’ patriotism and faith in the U.S., but opposition to the socialist agenda now being pursued.
That group has voiced its support for the “Truckers to Shut Down America,” which also has been called “Ride for the Constitution,” in a statement on their Facebook page.
The bikers also are in support – and plan to join – a rally by vets in Washington, the “Million Vet March on the Memorials, which is set for Sunday.
An online service detailing information about commutes in Washington reported there had been several accidents, and several sections where travel times were being extended, but no major closures or other impacts.
This link is to a series of traffic cameras around Washington.
One trucker from Georgia told WND that members of Congress are not keeping their oath of office to protect the nation and the Constitution.
“If they refused to obey their oath and uphold the law we the people would find a way,” said Earl Conlon. “What is important is that the truckers and patriot’s voices get heard.”
Online, the bikers group said without truckers, consumers would have nothing.
They wrote: “If you own it – a trucker brought it to where you could buy it. If you have a garden the seed for that garden came by truck. The only thing the truck didn’t deliver was the plot of ground.”
The truckers’ event had been organized loosely on Facebook pages, and sympathetic demonstrations also were planned in other parts of the country, for those unable to make the drive to Washington.
Supporters expected several thousand trucks in Washington, which because of the size of the mostly 18-wheelers, could create a significant impact on Washington traffic.
But one of the Facebook pages had more than 123,000 “likes,” which may or may not convert into high levels of participation.
“Truckers Ride for the Constitution” co-organizer Benn Pam believes that the coming together of three rallies in D.C. on the same weekend could make things interesting.
“It is about to hit the fan in big chunks. ’2 Million Bikers to D.C.’ is organizing for a protective detail for WWII veterans to monuments,” Pam said.
Pam added that it’s time for the American people to make their will known.
“The United States is now a dictatorship, ruled by the decrees of one man. Spy agencies dominate the government and the people. There is no rule of law. The Constitution is shredded,” Pam said. “It’s time to rise up.”
A reporter filed the following phone report on Friday’s convoy:

Earlier, the “Million Vet March on the Memorials” was announced for Sunday at 9 a.m. Eastern at the World War II memorial on the National Mall, the location where rangers under orders from the White House tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent vets from visiting.
The announcement said the group Special Operations Speaks is organizing the rally because the Obama administration “is using the government shutdown as an excuse to keep our veterans from acknowledging the debt owed to them and their predecessors.”
“This is unforgivable. It is also unjustified, as no taxpayer funds are spent by keeping these shrines open. We will open them ourselves, if that’s what it takes,” said the group, founded by former Navy SEAL Larry Bailey.
“We know that there may be some degree of confrontation, given the anti-military attitude of the administration. It is our intention to avoid confrontation, and we request that you join us in avoiding any kind of physical contact with park rangers, police, or other law-enforcement personnel. Give them no excuse to hijack the moment.” the organization said.
On its website, there was no waffling about the blame, however.
“In a mean-spirited fit of selfish anger, Barack Obama has shut down our nation’s war memorials. And he has declared open war on our honored veterans!” the website says. “The World War II memorial … the Vietnam Veterans Memorial … the Korean War Veterans Memorial – Obama has shut them all down to force his will on the House of Representatives and frankly, to get revenge on the American people who oppose Obamacare and his other naked power grabs.”
The message to veterans continued: “Let’s put it plainly: Barack Obama is behaving like a vicious tyrant. And if he succeeds in this assault on the democratic system, the republic we love is at mortal risk. It’s just that simple.”
Two actions are urged, to sign a petition demanding the opening of the memorials and attendance at the rally.
Scheduled to speak is Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who is helping lead the investigation of the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
“Americans have had enough of this shoddy treatment of those who saved our country from tyranny,” said Belinda Bee, organizer of “2 Million Bikers to D.C.” “These are men in their 80s and 90s. They can’t come back next month or next year. This is their chance to share in this American experience dedicated to their heroism. And yet, this administration was willing to lock them out of a memorial that normally is unguarded in an attempt to score political points. We, the leadership of ’2 Million Bikers To DC,’ urge you to join in this important rally.”
The previous rally by bikers took over the city on the same day an event billed as the “Million Muslim March” was to be held. Muslims renamed it the “Million American March Against Fear,” but only a few dozen people appeared.
Instead, the city was taken over by bikers exhibiting their patriotism and displeasure with Washington.

Video at the Page Link:

Mark Segraves of the NBC affiliate in Washington reported at midday Sept. 11 that only “about 25 people,” including activist Cornel West, were at the Muslim march, with a group of Christians about the same size nearby.

In a video interview with MRCTV, the Muslim march organizers would not fault Muslims for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks:

However, the counter-protest by bikers, on Sept. 11, was in evidence everywhere.
Driving in from Canada and from all over the United States, the bikers, who were denied a permit for their demonstration, were flooding the capital.
At approximately 1 p.m., “2 Million Bikers to DC” Facebook page co-founder Belinda Bee posted that police had counted nearly 1 million bikers are on the streets of Washington.

The American Muslim Political Action Committee originally planned the Muslims’ march and ended up facing criticism for scheduling it on the anniversary of 9/11.
But organizers insisted the name was changed because many non-Muslim Americans “are terrified of Muslims, who are portrayed by Hollywood and the US media as fanatical terrorists.”

Video at the Page Link:

AMPAC also claims Muslims, too, “live in fear – of being dragged off in the night to Guantanamo and tortured, simply for the crime of being Muslim in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Organizers refused to change the date of the march, which marked 12 years since the attack by 19 Muslims on New York City and Washington.
“September 11th, 2001 was the beginning of a new era of fear,” the organizers insisted. “Since 9/11, Americans have been terrorized by the media.”
The bikers, meanwhile, have stated their opposition to Obama’s push to “fundamentally transform” the U.S.
Radio giant Rush Limbaugh said Sept. 11 the American public as a whole did not understand what Obama was intending to do when he campaigned in 2008 with that remark.
“They had no idea that fundamentally transforming the United States of America meant turning the Constitution of the United States on its head,” Limbaugh said.
“They had no idea that transforming the United States of America meant getting rid of capitalism and replacing it with socialism. They had no idea that it meant co-opting one-sixth of the U.S. economy by the government, the health-care business. They had no idea what Obama was promising. They thought they knew, but they didn’t. Some of them may now not even know, but the bikers in D.C. know – and knew.”
