The article that I read claims that the
truckers in Truckers Ride for the Constitution try to block three lanes of the
Capital Beltway to demonstrate their dissatisfaction of the United States
government. According to Earl Conlon, who claims to be the spokesman of this
group, the group wants the arrest of congressmen who have violated their oath
of office. As grounds for this claim, the drivers complain about wages, high
gas prices, and the regulations of federal government on their industries.
Conlon says that the truckers will stop their vehicles on the road and block
three lanes of the Capital Beltway if police distracts their protest. However,
it is interesting that the rebuttal for Conlon’s claim is appeared from the
same group. Greg Ellis, the supporter of this protest, claims that Conlon’s
claim is nothing to do with the original plan of the group. He claims that “nobody
is going to try to affect an arrest on congressmen or anything like that,” and
emphasizes that their plan is peaceful. Also, FoxNews.com clarifies the purpose
of the event by using Peter Santilli’s value claim; “President Obama must be
removed from office for crimes against the United States and all
unconstitutional executive orders nullified […] how that is accomplished legally
is for legal and constitutional experts to determine.”
