Convoy protesting COVID-19 mandates begins beltway circuit
https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-new...Morning%20News
Associated Press Posted: Mar 6, 2022 / 01:26 PM CST | Updated: Mar 7, 2022 / 05:49 AM CST HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — A large group of truck drivers and their supporters who object to COVID-19 mandates began their mobile protest in the Washington, D.C., area Sunday, embarking on a drive designed to snarl traffic and make their objections known to lawmakers. Protesters staged at the Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland during the weekend before heading down a single lane of Interstate 81. Their plan was to drive onto the Capital Beltway, circle it twice and then return to Hagerstown, news outlets reported. The “People’s Convoy” follows similar demonstrations by truckers in Canada upset at vaccine requirements to cross the Canadian border. The Washington Post reported that convoy organizer Brian Brase intends for protesters to travel on the beltway every day during the upcoming week until its demands are met. A video posted on Twitter showed trucks passing under a large American flag hoisted in the air by two cranes. Supporters stood along a road waving as the drivers left. Officials with state police in Maryland and Virginia have said they will monitor the activities. Authorities in the District of Columbia said Sunday they are monitoring demonstration activity that is expected to begin disrupting travel on roadways in and around the region. The majority of the activity is expected to occur on the beltway. Travelers were advised to consider alternate modes of transportation. I haven't heard anything about this til today............. |

I still think if the truckers just parked their trucks at home and did nothing it would have more of an effect.

It doesn’t take much to tie up the beltway.

If they were smart, they'd also clog traffic around Dulles and the other airports making it too difficult for the congressional criminals to go home. that'll get their attention.

They're getting zero national news coverage. I think it has run its course
