Truckers In Washington D.C. Say Enough is Enough

Truckers In Washington D.C. Say Enough is Enough

As with all campaigns that want to start a reform, it is "visibility" that leads to change. One news item even 10, 20, 30 or more is never sufficient. Change requires massive effort and "Enough is Enough" seems to be moving in the right direction. Truckers are standing at the rear of the government behemoth and trying to get attention. It's like twisting the tail of an elephant in order to get it to turn around - it takes a lot of twists. One can be proud of the efforts in Washington D.C. today as an article in the Washington Post will garner attention. Nevertheless continued pressure and "visibility" is an essential ingredient for success. All who participated, encouraged and supported this effort are to be congratulated and continued pressure is the only thing that might lead to change. "Keep truckin' in the effort.

More power to all those truckers that decended on D.C.!! Why is it though that they are not getting the press that they deserve? The article in the Post was OK but there is more that needs to be said and it need to be said in all of the papers, and heard on all the news programs. What does it take for some of these companies to take this problem for the life and death matter it really is. A whole industry is dying and what does everyone think they will do without the trucking industry? It has to change quickly!!
