Truckers rally in Washington, seeking lower gas prices


Horns blaring in a deafening fanfare, a convoy of truck drivers arrived in Washington on Monday to protest high fuel prices.

The truckers planned an afternoon rally at the Capitol as they call on Congress to stop subsidizing big oil companies, release oil from the
Strategic Petroleum Reserves, and end exports of oil from Alaska, among other things.

Many of the truckers arrived from
Harrisburg, Pa., and other cities to the north. A passenger in one truck held a sign that read "Enough is Enough," and one trucker used a bullhorn to yell at Congress as he drove past.
