On Our Way, to Carson(LAX), CA From Chicago(ORD)

Much has happened since y last post and I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for have not kept you posted on the details of our movements. We went back to Chicago from Kansas City, Mo and then to Columbus OH and back to Chicago IL again. We are currently on our way to Carson Ca and will be traveling I80, I-76, I-70, I-15 and into LAX on 210 west, 605 south and 91 west. We are set to deliver on Sunday evening about 0100 am EDT.

We met with the organizer of the Chicago "We Surround Them", Lynn in the parking lot at Target on Manheim and Touhy ave. Lynn is a great patriot. I spent about 30 minutes or so talking to a passer by about the 9-12 project and what it is all about, I gave him a lot of information, and a pocket constitution. I didn't have a "Common Sense" book by Glenn Beck to give him but I now will be able to buy some thanks to Lynns generosity and the generosity of Michael the other day in Gretna, NE.

We are getting very excited about our trip to D.C. on the 12th of September for the taxpayer Revolt on D.C... We have secured a parking place, with the fantastic and determined help of a Patriot in D.C. by the name of Bob Northrop. Bob worked diligently to acquire permission from the operators of the parking lots at the RFK stadium. We have been given permission to park in lot 3 for two days and are very thankful to the team that runs the parking in that area.

Traffic has been relatively light today considering that it is a holiday weekend. I expect that as time passes though it will get somewhat worse.

We have also been able to gain access to a "FLIP" video recorder and will be, in the future, videoing some of our meetings and fuel stops and posting those videos here. Please understand though, this will be our first attempt at videoing anything and we have never operated one of these cameras before or the software that is used to edit and upload to the site. We just ask that you be patient as we learn. Tina is a quick study, me however...not so much.

In closing, we hope that you can find it in your budget to help with a small purchase or a donation in support of our mission.
We have launched into a couple of apparel stores so that everyone can show their support of the 912 Truck. Click here to show your support, or go to www.printfection.com/912truck.

Finally, New Mexico State Ploice Report... Finished.

After many emails to Sargent Doty of the N.M.S.P., I was notified last night, the 11th of August, that the report had been completed and approved for distribution. I suppose that 3 1/2 hours of harassment takes a few days to document in such a way that it doesn't appear to be harassment. Anyway, the report is supposedly, according to Sargent Doty of the N.M.S.P., was to be mailed today. We shall see.

In other news of interest, at least to me, we are in Irving, TX today. We arrived here from Los Angeles late last night, well, actually early this morning at about 0100 Eastern time. We have no idea, at this point, where we will be headed to out of here or even when we will get a dispatch from here. We were offered an EUV (exclusive use vehicle) load to somewhere in Kansas, just before noon today, but we had to turn it down. I was doing some maintenance on the truck and we had some shopping to do when I was done. I suppose we could have done without shopping, I mean, I could afford to go a day or five without food. In fact, it may even do me some good. But I digress. We just weren't prepared to jump and run on a 495 mile trip, then run empty to Kansas city and sit some more.So, I finished what I was doing, we done the necessary shopping and now we are back at the terminal, eagerly awaiting dispatch.

On the way here yesterday, from L.A., we stopped in Kingman, AZ for fuel, where the driver next to me at the fuel island, a nice young lady, asked if she could take a picture of the truck. She said at first, when she got out of her truck she just ignored ours but then after reading the "912 mission statement" and the rest of the 9 principles and 12 values, she got very excited about what we were doing and the message we were spreading and had to have a picture. She took some pics with her phone and then video taped the whole thing with a flip video. I asked her if she wanted to sign the side of the truck and advised her that she would have to submit to a pic for this site if she signed, she agreed and signed while I took a pic. After much conversation, I proceeded to give her some paperwork and flyers about the March on D.C. on the 12th of September(taxpayer revolt), I also gave her a pocket constitution and a copy of Common Sense by Glenn Beck. She was delivering mail, so she was on a pretty tight schedule and had to run, but promised to spread the word.

Then today, while shopping at Wal-Mart, we were approached by a couple that wanted to know if our truck was done by "trick my truck". I explained that it wasn't, I explained our mission and they smiled and moved on. I suppose the point of that short story is this. People are more intrigued by the possibility of meeting someone or seeing something that they had seen on television, than they are by seeing through the trucks visual appeal and looking at the mission. We can't wake everybody, I guess, but I just found it interesting.

Not to be discouraged though. Another fella and his family drove up, was very excited about the truck and said he'd love to sign it...until I told him a picture was in order, then he refused. Well, i suppose if you can't show that you believe in the mission, why would you say you believe in the mission with a signature. He moved on with no signature but I did give him a lot of literature, and one of Glenn Beck's Common Sense books.

As I was closing my door to get ready to leave, we had another visitor. This guy hadn't heard of the 912 project but had stopped and read the side of the truck on his way in the store earlier. He just wanted us to know how proud he was to have seen it and thanked us for what we are doing. He is with the U.S.O. He spends his days there with the folks, supporting them. He has a son in theater (Afghanistan), right now and and was pleased to let me know that he'd be home next month. We talked a bit, he signed the side of the truck, picture to be posted soon, and we talked some more. What an inspiring conversation. This guy is a real Patriot, not only to me, but to many young military men and women. Just in case he would happen to read this, thank you sir for your devotion to our troops and thank your troop(son), for his devotion to the safety and security of our great nation and his defense of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Another Update For 08/08

We stopped in Little Rock for fuel at about 7:00 pm, left there about 7:15 and we are now on our way to Carson again. We have one more planned stop, other than driver changes, and that planned stop is Albuquerque, NM. Ah yes, lovely, friendly, New Mexico.

Anyway, had a lot of good comments and looks in Little Rock at the Petro. I just never had any idea how the truck would stop people in their tracks as they are walking through the parking lot. I passed out about 7 pocket constitutions and 1 Glenn Beck, Common Sense book. What a great stop that was.

Oh, am I taking donations? You Bet, click on any of the donate buttons on this page or go to Stop the Destruction of America and use one of the donate buttons there. We are merely trying to cover costs of materials we are passing out to awaken folks.

08/05, Just Spoke With Dispatch

Well, we were hoping for a call from dispatch before daylight with a load to sgtsomewhere, anywhere. They do that often when they have extra freight that they couldn't get on another load. That didn't happen. We are still at home.

I called to check in with dispatch this morning, actually, just a few minutes ago. Got a hold of dispatch and they offered a load to Dallas, TX, actually Irvine, TX, for 4:00 am on Thursday. I accepted the load, gleefully. I think, once we get away from the house, we will be alright. They usually try to keep us moving as long as we aren't in our home domicile terminal. At any rate, we'll see, hopefully the load won't cancel due to a lack of freight.

In addition, an update on my "incident report" from NMSP. I have not yet received the report from SGT. Doty. I was told, upon initial contact by email, that the report would be accomplished, and approved, for release within 72 hours of the incident. To date, it has been 11 days or 264 hours. Allowing for weekends, and only counting the total number of 8 hour shifts available since the incident less weekends, that would allow the NMSP a total of 88 hours avail to "accomplish and approve" the report. Now, I understand not being able to put a report like that together in a matter of minutes, but 88 hours might be excessive and 264 hours is utterly ridiculous. Not only have I not received notification of the reports completion, I can't even get SGT Doty of the NMSP to answer my emails anymore. I think I'm being dodged. I'll keep you posted.

Now, for another subject. I think we are going to try and arrange a meetup/cruise in support of taxpayer protests, and against health care takeover by our tyrannical government at each city we are in for a day or so. I will be contacting, or trying to contact,Tea Party Organizers in each city. I can almost always give 18-24 hours notice of our arrival and maybe we can arrange a gathering and subsequent cruise around town with my truck leading and a bunch of cars following with signs all over their cars to raise awareness and get people involved with our movement. My point in telling you this is for you to pass the word to as many folks as you know. Maybe you can get some organizers on board with this and to read this post and we can get this movement in high gear before September 12, for 912dc.org.

Another thing is that I am pricing t-shirts and posters and other paraphernalia to help raise funds for our project. Plese let me know what you think of this and whether you or your friends would be interested in these items or what items in which you may be interested.

As always, if you can find it in you budget to make a contribution to this mission to help defray the costs of printing, paper, pocket constitutions, "Common Sense" books, etc., it would be greatly appreciated. You can use any of the donate buttons here or at Stop the Destruction of America. Any and all contributions would be of help in our endeavor to WAKE UP AMERICA.

We're Back In Carson Now, 7/27

Well, we turned around and we are now back in Carson, CA. We had a headlight out and got pulled over in Arizona last night for that. No ticket, just a warning citation.

we had to drive all the way out to Fontana, CA, about 54 miles to get a headlight bulb today. Came back to Carson, installed the bulb and have been just kinda veging since then.

No idea, at this point where we will be headed out of here or when we will be leaving but I'll be sure and let you know when I know.

As always, if you like our message and the mission we are on to wake up America,please feel free to make a contribution here to help defray the costs of all the materials we are passing out. Oh, and for the bail costs as well. LOL. You can use any of the "donate" buttons on this page or at Stop the Destruction of America to make a contribution. Any and all contributions are welcome and appreciated.

Inmate #4679 . Done for the evening.

Update 07/22...6:30 pm Eastern time

We stopped in Albuquerqui, NM at about 5:00 pm, fueled and took off again at approximately 5:15 pm. We are headed for Carson, CA, (Los Angeles) area and will be traveling I-40 to Barstow, then I-15 south to 210 west right on into town. We should be in Flagstaff, AZ at about 10-10:30 pm tonight, then Carson by about 0700 Thursday morning.

So far the trip has been fairly uneventful. A few waves and thumbs up, a couple of questions at our fuel stops and I have hung some fliers for the www.912dc.org taxpayer revolt in D.C. on Sept. 12. Otherwise, not much to add, but some dialogue has been opened.

I find it somewhat funny that you can see many people looking and reading the sides of the truck as they pass us on the road but as soon as we let them know that we know they are looking, they either turn away or give us a thumbs up or a wave. My point is that they won't initiate the positive response unless they know you are watching them. My thought is that that looms from many years of being marginalized in their views or shouted down FOR them. JMHO

Please keep an eye out for us and if you see us wave, shout, scream, thumbs up, blow your horn, do whatever it takes to get our attention. If you like our message and the mission we are on, the one of trying to awaken the masses, please feel free to make a contribution to the cause by clicking on any of the "donate" buttons on this page or at http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com.

07/22 0850 Update

We got into Irving about 2330 last night. Got a good nights sleep. We were notified this morning about 0600 that our Los Angeles load was ready. We got up, got ourselves ready to go and headed out about 0630. We are no about 10 miles North of Wichita Falls, Tx on highway 287 and will be in Amarillo, Tx at about 1230 this afternoon. From there we should be in Tucumcari, NM about 1400, and then in Albuquerqui, NM at approximately 1700-1730. I'll not predict any further than that at this point but I will update again as we are leaving Albuquerqui.

Please keep an eye out for us and by all means wave when you see us. Should you decide you like what we are doing, the message we are spreading, feel free to use any of the "donate" buttons on this page to make a contribution and help support our cause.

1st Outing in the Truck since the Wrap Was Done

Well,it certainly wasn't much but I took off early this morning and went to Tampa to have new tires put on and a 3 axle alignment on the truck. I took off, expecting some interest, but I had no idea what would ensue.

I had to pull off the highway twice on the way down, rush hour traffic, people just wanted to see it, read it and discuss the wrap, the 912 project, and what is happening to America. When I got to Tampa, the response was overwhelming, both at the tire shop and the alignment shop 10 miles away.

I handed out about 30 or so constitutions, more than any single day since I started handing them out in January, and about the same amount of 9-12 brochures and 912taxpayer revolt flyers. I had a blast talking about and explaining our plight.

The next few months should certainly prove interesting, if not challenging. I am so looking forward to the dialogue this project is going to ignite. We will be leaving the evening of the 18th...Saturday night, and won't be back here until after the 912 taxpayer revolt in D.C. on the 12th of September, 2009.

Please check back often for updates on our experiences and for information about where you can come see the truck. We have also added a panel on each side for signatures of donors to the project. Please feel free to contribute here.
