Today: Trucker Convoy To Choke Traffic On DC Beltway

The Washington Post reports:

Organizers of the “People’s Convoy” say they are planning to circle their armada of trucks, cars and SUVs around the Beltway on Sunday morning and into the workweek at the minimum speed limit to slow traffic and get their message to lawmakers.

Brian Brase, a convoy organizer, said in an interview late Saturday that the plan is to drive around the Beltway twice before returning to the Hagerstown Speedway, where the protesters have spent the weekend so far.

The convoy, which recently numbered about 1,000 vehicles, intends to repeat that ritual each day this week until the group’s demands are met, Brase said.
