So what happened to Truckers for the Constitution?

I thought DC was supposed to be shutdown by their groundswell of fellow Truckers until the Police arrested Barack Obama? Last I heard, about 30 trucks showed up. What a bust. They should of organized something like this after the 2000 & 04 elections, or during the drafting of the Patriot act, the Bush Doctrine, etc. The Freepers were pushing this thing like it was going to be an occupy Wallstreet.
