   Nothing in Arkansas I see.

   Question; How does a person that is only home for a couple of days every few weeks go about getting one of these things started? Not only am I only home every few weeks, there are times we are running so hard that I don’t have a chance to get online for a couple of days at a time.

   So any ideas how a person in my situation can get the ball rolling, or at least get the word out, would be greatly appreciated.

    Okay, OT, but;

    I am extremely lucky right now. Frieght always slows down in winter. But this has been the worst time that any driver I have talked to remembers. I have talked to 25 and 30 year drivers that are running an average of 2-400 miles a day.

    It’s my luck that I run reefer. Food still has to move, so I still get lot’s of miles.

    Something has to give, soon. Otherwise, there are going to be a lot of drivers coming in off the road.

    And this just in:

    NEWS ALERT
    from The Wall Street Journal

    Feb. 25, 2009

    Obama will propose $634 billion in tax increases on upper-income taxpayers and cuts to government health spending to fund health reform over 10 years, a senior administration official said Wednesday. The proposed tax change would limit the deductions available to people in the highest income tax brackets.

    The spending cuts are aimed not just at raising money for the new program, which aims to get health coverage to all Americans, but also at curbing health-care spending overall. The cuts would affect a range of interests, including managed care companies, prescription drug manufacturers and hospitals.

    More, more and more spending, all at the expense of upper income folks. Great, just go ahead and take my entire paycheck. Better yet, we’ll just hand over our business since we won’t have anything left at the end of the day.

    You mean the constant “sky is falling” thing isn’t helping the markets? Wow, who knew?

    The sad thing is, there are people who still think the chosen one is the greatest thing since sliced bread. These are the same people that voted for him just because he was young and ‘hip’. The same ones that were unable to tell you a single thing he wanted to actually accomplish, other than “change”.

    Now more than ever we need to prove we are smart enough to be allowed into a voting booth. A simple civics test is all I am asking. Can’t name the three branches of government and what they (are at least supposed to) do? Sorry, no vote for you. Can’t name whoever the current VP, Speaker of the House, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Sec of State is? Sorry, no vote for you. Receive any kind of government welfare? Sorry, no vote for you. Can’t prove with a photo id you are a legal citizen? You guessed it, no vote for you.

    I know, even having such fanciful dreams makes me a heartless bigot. I don’t care anymore. It’s time to take the country back from the deadbeats, idiots and illegals. Not to mention the treasonous politicians willing to sell the souls of their unborn children for another vote.

    Unfortunately, a tax protest isn’t going to be much good unless people protest en masse by not paying their taxes. And I think most of us are too afraid of the IRS and the consequences for that. I knew a tax protester once in Oregon, about 20 years ago. He went to prison on Federal charges.

    Anyone with children would have to fear that CPS would take their children. They’d lose their houses. And so on.

    *If* this administration is as poll-driven as Clinton’s was, then it will start to notice the polls soon. But it hasn’t seemed to notice *yet* that every time it opens its blathering mouth, the market goes south – and that involves actual money. I don’t have a lot of faith in them caring about a couple hundred people here and there.

    Now, if we could get 100K people out, like happened in Dublin recently….? That might get them noticing.
