Wooldridge: Truckers Boycott Border StatesBy Frosty Wooldridge
Hey Junior – we’re coming to see you – every mother-trucking one of us! President Bush displaces American truckers out of their jobs within 45 days with his Mexican trucker pilot program. Bush signed a bill that allows thousands of substandard 18 wheeler long haul rigs from Mexico onto America’s Interstate system. Mexican drivers, who can’t read, speak or understand English--receive full access to America’s highways.
Bush places all American motorists at risk with Mexican drivers with average 6th grade educations from a Third World country, gross incompetence and habitually drunk Mexican drivers as well as their unsafe trucks and trailers. Not only will American truckers lose their jobs, but American motorists become collateral damage in accidents guaranteed to occur.
Bush’s action mandates American truckers’ jobs vanishing with a new version of: “Mexican drivers do the jobs that American truckers won’t do.” First, the independent haulers will see their loads undercut by Mexican drivers. Later, Mexican drivers will chip away at produce haulers. Given enough time, Wal-Mart, Roadway, Consolidated and Home Depot will hire Mexican drivers at half the wages of American truckers. Mexican truckers, ever looking for black market loads of people, drugs and products, will create new smuggling routes across the USA. Given enough time, Bush will see to it that American trucking follows the auto industry, construction, drywall, painting, landscape and fast food industry—into the toilet. Therefore, truckers from four border states - Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California - and beyond may participate in a trucker boycott April 23, 24, 25, 2007. Those truckers that want to stop this latest insult to America’s working class by this president may shut their rigs down for three days. Time to show Bush that truckers can paralyze this country in a matter of days if he continues on his national suicide mission of killing American truckers’ jobs. Additionally, truckers may surround all 48 state capitals with their rigs and park them! Mr. Bush, if you’re going to spit on American truckers, we’ll see who can spit into the next pasture! Why do I know? I trucked for 21 summers and three solid years for United Van Lines, Consolidated and Single Source. I know the ultimate power of truckers. We deliver everything that Americans need on a daily basis: food, gas, lumber, cars, water, i.e., EVERYTHING! Mr. Bush, you won’t be able to wipe your butt without us delivering the Charmins! As Wanda Piety at : SaveAmericaFund.com said, “When Bush allows the Mexican truckers into the U.S., truckers will lose their futures, and it will seal the tragic fate of this country as we lose our sovereignty, Constitution and ultimately our governing body, liberties and freedoms.”
1. Bush is planning, in less than 45 days, to allow 17,000 or more Mexican trucks and truckers into our country with no checks and balances in place. Rigs will be allowed in with no weight regulations, no load restrictions (as their loads will not be under the same security scrutiny that our truckers’ loads have to comply to, which opens the door to more drugs, terrorists, weapons and human smuggling), some with no insurance in place, some truckers with no drivers licenses and criminal driving records, no background checks, and trucks that are not regulated to adhere to our strict safety regulations. There will be three sections to the web site: 1. The Truckers "Truck Out" Boycott. Piety said, “I also have a press manager, Ed Lozzi, you can look up his web-site. He is completely on board and will do a press release media blitz for us through his wire service that will reach 14,000 news rooms, magazines, talk shows, radio shows, journalists, etc. He has asked for the press release to be ready by April 1st, if we are going to have the full benefits of the release in time for the FAIRUS rally the 23-25th of April.” Piety continued, “We also have a national short wave radio broadcaster who does short wave worldwide broadcasts, that is ready to do a broadcast for us, as often as we need it done, to reach the truckers and anyone else out there who wants to join this fight.” Finally, “We are ready to start putting together PSA's for radio and television. We just need the way in to get them aired,” Piety said. “I have directors lined up and the scripts being written right now, and A and B-list talent that is willing to participate.” Fellow Americans and truckers, it’s time to stop Bush from pulling the fifth wheel out from under our nation. Since Bush represents Mexicans more than Americans, it’s time to show him how to sing Give Me Forty Acres and I’ll Turn This Rig Around. Send this message to every trucker, every trucker chat room, message board, Owner/Operator Magazine, American Trucker, CB operators, short wave and Ham Radio Operators in America. Use these three days to make a statement with your 18 wheeler or you won’t have an 18 wheeler to drive by the time President Bush destroys American Trucker Jobs with Mexican drivers! |
