Traffic Shutdown? Truck Drivers Plan 3-day Protest on Capital Beltway

The article entitled “Traffic Shutdown? Truck drivers plan 3-day protest on Capital Beltway” addressed the claim that a caravan of truck drivers was looking to shut down traffic around Washington as a way of protesting. The grounds of the article were that truck drivers planned to clog the Beltway by driving "three lanes deep" for three days to attract participants for a demonstration on the Capital Beltway. Commuters who want to pass their block must have a sticker on their window showing that they support the group. The backing of the argument was that truckers were complaining about wages, gas prices, and federal regulations on the truck industry as well as the debt on the National Security Agency's surveillance practices. More than 50 thousand Facebook users declared their support for those truckers. Earl Conlon, who claimed to speak for those truckers, declared that congress members should be arrested.  As a rebuttal, Conlon was challenged by supporters of the campaign. They believed that the plan should be carried out peacefully. Actually, the truckers’ real purpose was to show complaints about crimes against the United States and unconstitutional executive orders nullity.
