* USA - The Great American Truck Out
Carthage,MO,USA -The Carthage Press, byDallie Miessner Howerton -April 9, 2007: -- ... Thousands of truckers have committed to taking part in the three day “Truck Out” Boycott on April 23-25 to coincide with a rally planned in Washington DC. The boycott is a nationwide effort to STOP the process of displacing American Truckers from their jobs and show President Bush and Congress that the real lifeblood and backbone of this country is the American trucker!.. The point of the boycott is to shut all trucking down and surround every state capital with a convoy of trucks, cars and motorcycles to protest the corrupt plans our government has to destroy our trucking industry, and our nation... Secretary Peters said the Mexican trucks would carry international loads only. What she did not say was that the purpose of the plan is to utilize deep-sea Mexican ports to unload containers from China and the Far East as part of the NAFTA super-highway plan, which effectively removes the Longshoremen that handle the cargo at U.S. ports from the equation, as well as the American truckers who haul from those U.S. ports to the their final destination... Despite all the assurances from these government officials, the truckers and safety advocates aren't buying it. Nor should they!.. Whether the boycott will actually take place remains to be seen, but you may want to plan ahead. Nobody stocks anything anymore, which means that within three days, all grocery shelves could be bare, and gas stations closed...
