They are calling it the ride for the constitution. And it starts with the whole series of complaints about the struggles of truck drivers, but then organizers veer into wild rants about what they call treasonnist government officials. It focuses on the president. I dont think president obama obeys the constitution. I think he passes him as he sees fit, you know, it reminds me of a dictatorship. Protest seems to have hit a raw vein of anger. It is unclear why he blames the president for his troubles. Slip over in their grade if they knew what was going on these days. Its them, the government, not we the people anymore. 346. Some independent truckers complain they cannot make it anymore. The woman leading the ride for the constitution website is now disavowing a georgia trucker who promised three lanes of trucks barricading the beltway and the arrest of members of congress for allegedly disregarding the constitution. If they feel like they are going to get results out of it, more power to them. Now, zeta andrews, a radio talk show host and former smoke model says that she expects some 3,000 truckers to gather here, but we did not talk to any truckers here who were certain that they were going to attend and some state officials think that this may be mostly, mostly hot air. Lesli, back to you. I suppose well see on friday and if things are jammed up, well know they really did show up. All right, bruce. Well, im sure many of you have a few thoughts on this mess. We want to hear from you so we can go to tellwusa9. Com. Asking if you thought the shutdown would last this long. You can vote yes or no and tell us what you think currently right now. Most people are saying yes, they did think the shutdown was going to last this long. Despite the Government Shutdown, immigration activists say that will slow down their demand about Immigration Reform and right now, they are marching on capitol hill. Thats where our Kristin Fisher is live and kristen, i understand there have been some arrests, too. There has. Right now, there are still thousands of Immigration Reform activists right in front of the capital and several of them just got arrested in a self proclaimed act of civil disobedience. They literally sat down in the middle of first street and refused to move. Organizers told me at least 200 people were planning on getting arrested today, including at least five members of congress. Representatives, charlie rangle was the first to be arrested, along with representatives, john lewis, and keith eler son. Their goal is to get congress to act now on Immigration Reform. They want a clear path to citizenship for the nations 12 million undocumented immigrants. Im sure some of you were thinking congress has any Immigration Reform when they cant pass a budget. These protesters say this rally has been planned a long time and these reps were carefully orchestrated. Before they happened, i spoke with one of the organizers and he was very forthcoming about what they were about to do. Listen. Were going to have about 200 of our brave leaders and Community Activists in the region and throughout the country who are going to get arrested to send a message to congress. Enough is enough, you know, we are tired of waiting. We are tired of excuses. And we are escalating. Before the march to capitol hill, there was a huge rally on the National Mall all afternoon. The american road. House minority leader, nancy pelosi spoke on the stage. Even in the middle of the shutdown and this shutdown almost kept the event from happening. Organizers had to apply for a First Amendment right to protest permit with u. S. Park police and only at the very last minute did they get it. I tell you what, even if they did not get it, these arrests were going to happen no matter what. As i said, Capital Police now about this. They were up there waiting for these protesters to arrive and as one Capitol Police officer said to me, he asked, excuse me, maam, are you one of the protesters that will be getting arrested today . Thats how organized these arrests were up on capitol hill. I said no, im a reporter, clearly im not going to get arrested, but it was very organized and i think the protesters here today felt like they came, they accomplished what they came for here on capitol hill. Back to you. Kristen, thank you. One thing got done on capitol hill today. Next time you write a tweet, you might want to check it and double check it. White house adviser probably wishes he did. He was commenting on a tweet how americans get their information from cable and the internet and its a massive factor in political polarization. Then he tweeted, also a much n word factor on the right. We assume that he meant to write the word, bigger. He later tweeted, obviously a horrendous typo. My apologies, but that typo lit up the twitter sphere. We are waiting for investigators to identify three People Killed in an Early Morning fire. A couple and their teenage son died when flames swept through their home on Fuller Heights road in Prince William county, virginia. Delia goncalves spoke to a neighbor in this close knit mobile park. Earl is numb. He just drove away from his mobile park early this morning to begin a normal workday when he received a horrifying call. My mother called in the fire and when she called me, i turned around and came back home and this is what you get. Phi only had left work ten minutes later, i would have stayed. Just awful. Its awful. A couple with two Adult Children died inside a fire hours later, investors searching the debris and rubble discover the body of one of their sons believed to be 19. The son, i have the oldest son is here. He just found out his mother was killed. The flames were so intense, the walls and roof of the mobile home collapsed, making it too dangerous to go inside. It happens normally during trailer fires, because they are put together with lightweight construction. In the 18,700 block of road. A throw stone away from the marine base. The deceased couple lived in one of the three trailers here, earl lived in the other. My two neighbors were killed in the fire. Its very devastating. People that you know every day, it gets you, it really does. It really does. In triangle, delia goncalves, wusa9. The family of a new jersey man who set himself on fire last week says he had a long mental battle in mental illness. John poured gasoline on himself in the middle of the National Mall last friday. Passing joggers took off their shirts to help put out flames, but he died later that night. The family says they dont think he was trying to make any kind of political statement. D. C. Police say a female officer was goff offduty this morning. Police say the suspect told the officer he had a gun before she drew her weapon and shot her in the stomach. Shes described as conscious and breathing and taken to the hospital. Police have not said whether his claim about the gun was true. The city of alexandria is threatening imminent domain to push through its waterfront plan on valuable piece of property in oldtown. As peggy fox reports, after years of unsuccessfully trying to negotiate a deal for public access, the city is now playing hardball. The time to resolve this matter and to move forward is now. Alexandria mayor once said he would not consider imminent domain concerning how the city deals with what many say is an eyesore. This private parking lot that sits right on oldtowns prime waterfront location, since the 1920s, its been owned by the old dominion boat club. Public should be able to exercise and enjoy the waterfront. I dont think it should be in private, frankly. People walking along the waterfront have to walk around the parking lot, which is surrounded by a chain link fence. This waterfront is very valuable property, but not for parking lot. The city council and residents have approved a waterfront plan, which calls for the public path to connect here and for the last 15 years, the city has been trying to work out a deal with the boat club, but members see it differently. If you lose the lot, its going to be problematic to sustain operations here at the boat club, because a lot of people get boats in and out of the water. The city says back in june, it proposed a plan that would allow the boat club to keep part of its parking lot. The city is now taking this bold step. And the citizens are crying out and saying to us, move on, enough is enough. Mayor announced today they will take the issue to the public and hold a hearing about the parking lot. And whether the city should pursue using imminent domain to take it by force. We want people to have a sense of place and be able to have access all throughout this gym that is in alexandria that makes us distinctive. Peggy fox, wusa9.

A couple from arkansas is telling quite a story of survival after their day hike turned into a harrowing five day ordeal. Vanita has their story. Rick mcfarland wanted the hike at Big Ben National Park in texas. They were told to leave because of the Government Shutdown. Instead, they decided to go to a state park they had never hiked. By night fall, they were lost. We discovered that there had been quite a bit of rain in what looked to be flash flooding that knocked a lot of the trail markers out of the way. The experienced tigers spent three days wandering in the heat. Kathy could barely walk, they decided to separate. I didnt have it to push on. We were in dire strengths at that point. We said our love yous to each other and she wanted me to tell the kids to make sure to let them know she tried. After Walking Around for a few hours, mcfarland, a news photographer saw something through his camera lens. It was a reflection from a car windshield. Using his zoom lens, mcfarland followed the reflection and reached rescuers. It took two more days to find kathy. She was only a mile from where the couple had started their hike. We stopped and we just listened and we heard it, and we looked down and there was kathy.
