There are times that it’s been accused of being used like in New Orleans after hurricane catrina. There’s a very slim chance the House of Representatives will vote to end the national emergency since democrats hold a majority. I don’t think anything is wrong with protesting and as a Constitutionalist I believe in the rights of people to oppose overreaching government and file grievances. My point is that these flag waving protest and convoys have happened many times before and I can’t remember a time they have impacted real change. Just for instance the convoy in Canada didn’t change any laws that that protest blocked city streets for 3 weeks. The past convoys in DC to protest things like digital log books didn’t change any laws. The protest to defend monuments all over the country didn’t save any monuments. So it’s my believe that more needs to be done than rolling convoys to get the attention of legislators. You made a comment earlier where you stated “this is probably the most important thing you could ever do to preserve the republic” and I think that’s a ridiculous statement since service members volunteer to protect the republic with their lives. Thank you for filling me in on the purpose for this protest. You have my genuine best wishes and I’m hopeful this mission is more successful than all of the protest that came before it.
