Truckers Shut It Down

We need to send a message for Washington to hear We need to make a statement and make it loud and clear Leave rigs double parked in every town Come on truckers. Shut it down Block the highways. Set your course. Show our politicians a united force Politicians! While you're kissing babies remember this We've got something you can kiss We wanted a leader. We got a clown. So let's go truckers. Shut it down. It is time to start sending a message to our OPEC owned and operated congresss. If you can't stop the oil gougiing prices, we can stop the entire country. What happens if the last of the American cowboys, the truck drivers, unite? If they double park their rigs on the interstates all over the country, unhook them and leave them there? These guys are getting shafted by the same people who subsidize airlines so the executives can milk the living hell out of it. Meanwhile, not only the independent, but any small trucking company can't afford to stay in business. It is time to shut it down

yes something needs to be done, but it won't. this was a poem that had a lot of truth, and all we can do it to not take it, but we will take, we need to stop talking about the way our president is doing and do something, no matter who is the president we complain don't we. we need to take a stand protest the way they used to.
