Truckers organize Veterans Day strike to protest Biden's anti-fracking policies
https://www.theblaze.com/ne...ti-fracking-policies
'We fully intend to exercise our rights, and will not have politicians making crippling decisions, that will negatively affect our future and the future of our children'
A group of truckers from around the nation called for a strike on Veterans Day in protest of former Vice President Joe Biden's hostility to fracking.
Calling all Americans to take back our constitutional freedoms
The protest movement, called StopTheTires2020, was organized on Facebook on Nov. 6 and has grown rapidly since then, the Trucker reported. As of Wednesday, the group had more than 54,000 members.
"Our message is simple and hopefully effective. We fully intend to exercise our rights, and will not have politicians making crippling decisions, that will negatively affect our future and the future of our children," StopTheTires2020 organizer Jeremy Rewoldt wrote in a Facebook post. "We will not participate in the leftist, Biden/Harris Green New Deal. We do not support the banning of fracking. The United States of America operates as a capitalistic economy and OIL is the fuel she survives on."
The group called for a national trucker shutdown on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. This first strike is meant to call attention to the protest movement against Biden in anticipation of a second, larger planned strike to occur on Thanksgiving Day.
It will be interesting to see just how many truckers actually participate in this.

Not really seeing whet this will accomplish.....especially on a holiday when delivery services are closed anyway. [This message has been edited by IMSA GT (edited 11-11-2020).]

I had similar thoughts.
While Truckers may be against Biden's stated policies (depending on who Biden was talking to), they all have bills to pay. I have my doubts this will gain any traction.

We had a few strikes back in my driving days. It really didn't take long for everyone to realize the same. There are bills to pay. So truckers strike for a day or a week. They'll be back in force after that. Bump in the road (no pun intended).
Don't get me wrong, I love truckers. I drove for almost 20 years.
