American Truck Out Rally

I received an email a little over a week ago asking for help in stopping the North American Union (NAU). The goal of this rally is to raise awareness about the North American Union by creating an event that the national media would not be able to ignore! Included on this blog is a short video about this rally.

Here is a press release I found describing the planned event. “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.”

I have been perusing my favorite news blogs and both the very liberal Washington Post and the more conservative Washington Times websites and have not found any real time coverage of any events occurring yesterday or today regarding this rally. Too bad because the North American Union, the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) between the USA, Mexico and Canada, along with the Bush administration’s recent permission given to 100 Mexican companies to allow their trucks to roll on our highways are all bad ideas.

It is a bad idea to entangle ourselves as a nation with the likes of a corrupt Mexico and a dreadfully socialist Canada. In the long run this “partnership” will lead to loss of sovereignty of our nation and lead to further decline of the middle class in the United States. Is this what President Bush wants? Or does he even care? Even allowing the Mexican truckers on our roads is a bad idea. They will be taking away jobs and work from Americans. They will be road hazzards, too.

I applaud the efforts of the organizers of the American Truck Out Rally and wish them whatever success they can muster throughout the event.
