So It Begins: #T2SDA Trucker Protest Causes Traffic Delays into Nation’s Capital

21st Century Wire says…

‘Ride for the Constitution‘ entered the DC Beltway this morning, with back ups reported on at least two interstate highways so far this morning (see photos below).

Aside from the endless list of White House scandals, America has become polarized and remains stuck in the ultimate political gridlock imaginable – over the latest issue of federal spending. As America waits in vain for a resolution to the government shutdown, an unlikely community has decided to do what politicians cannot – put their money where their mouth is… 

Trucker protest spokesman Ernest “General” Lee spoke to FOX News this morning, describing the event as a “peaceful protest”, but reiterated that truckers are riding in on behalf of all Americans regardless of what their political affiliations might be.

Watch his interview which aired live last night:

Trucker convoy have also been offers free rides to Veterans into Washington DC for a ‘Million Vet March On Memorials’ set to take place this weekend.

Some new reports and images are coming in from truckers and overpass supporters already today.

Here some recent updates from today:
