The US Trucker Convoy Organizers have seen what the Trudeau government did in crushing the Freedom Convoy's rights to protest; leaders of the protest are laying the groundwork for an uninterrupted journey to Washington DC.
The Canadian rollout inspired members of the People's Convoy to protest vaccine mandates in their trucks. But they are wary that the Biden administration might try to stop as their protest would blemish an already tattered presidency.
American Truckers Will Carry Freedom Convoy's Spirit
One of the top organizers of 'The People's Convoy' spoke to the media about their plans. Maureen Steele said they looked over all the loopholes and problems that the Democrat administration could exploit, reported the Epoch Times.
Speaking in an interview with NTD's Capitol Report about the details of the trucker protest on Feb.22, she outlines all the steps taken to ensure that everything is legal; by the time they hit the road.
Arrangements with the local municipalities and police on their route, speaking to them to be sure. The rollout will include lawyers to assist the participants in doing everything by the book, to avoid breaking local laws.
Everything kicks off from Southern California at the Adelanto Stadium on Feb.23, moving east to Interstate 40. The journey is expected to hit the Washington D.C. area on March 5, where other convoys will converge on too, per NTD.
A Pennsylvania trucker group will be entering the US capital as those from California on the same day.
Steele expects the worst, like what happened in Canada, and she does not know how the Democrat president will react. But it will be no surprise if tyrannical means are used as well, but the US Trucker Convoy organizers are hoping for the best.
Also, the Ottowa government has attacked bank accounts of the truckers which should not be the case. Trudeau allows rights to be trampled.
Last Feb.10, a report said that one Biden official in the White House to the Canadian PM to activate federal powers. Next came a crackdown on truckers who block the US-Canada border as well, cited AP News.
Canadian Democracy Trampled
Due to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his inability to deal with the Freedom convoy, the Emergencies Act and its powers were utilized to stop the COVID-19 mandates and restrictions protest harshly. All the bank accounts of those involved were frozen, that was something a dictator does, even trample on rights.
Last Feb.15, the White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a press briefing that the effects of the Freedom convoy are getting assessed by a relevant agency after a question was asked about Canada truckers. On Feb.21, a state in PDF was released by the organizer intended to go Washington but not D.C proper to clarify.
Pennsylvania convoy organizer Bob Bolus remarked that staying close to DC because of what happened on Jan.6, 2021, during the steal stop.
Steele informed that professionals manage their money with a third party getting the funds. All the deposits are placed in private banks quickly to avoid what happened in Canada.
She added that the People's Convoy has a right to be violated, despite the current suppression. It's why the protest is happening, saying that all Americans can join, not just truckers.
Hopefully, all these preparations taken by the US Trucker Convoy Organizers would translate to the Biden administration letting them protest.
