Lyin' Ryan To Finally Almost Hold A Town Hall


http://www.cogdis.me/2017/08/lyin-ryan-to-finally-to-almost-hold.html?spref=tw






One of the talking points that Randy Bryce has been hitting Lyin' Paul Ryan hard with is the fact that Paul Ryan shows a great disdain for his constituents. Bryce said that it's been more than 600 days since Ryan held his last public town hall meeting.

Politifact checked out this claim and found that Bryce was in error. It's been over 650 days since Ryan held a town hall meeting. Given that that article came out a month ago, it means that Ryan is closing in on the two year mark of refusing to meet with the people of his district.

..................................................

The keyword is almost.

The town hall meeting, if you can call it that, is being hosted by Jack Tapper and CNN.

And it's less of a town hall meeting as it is a reality TV show. CNN is carefully screening people by having them fill out a questionnaire first, asking for things like your occupation and what political party you're a part of. They also want to prescreen the questions that the applicant wants to ask.

I will be there across the street carrying my questions on poster board. Not bussed in. Been living in Wisconsin's 1st CD 60 years. His Town Halls, "Listening Sessions" (he talked you listened) were never easily accessible, and he talked like a Dem voted the opposite. Always.

CNN is pushing back its live town hall with Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to accommodate President Trump’s announcement on Afghanistan.

CNN was set to air a public town hall with Ryan — his first in nearly two years — at 9 p.m. Monday, but the White House announced that Trump will address the nation at that time about his strategy going forward in Afghanistan.

The network sent out an alert saying it will air live coverage of Trump’s address before moving on to the town hall..................................

Supply Side Economics (Ronald Reagan's trickle down) is a complete fraud !!!!!!!

The media should repeat this nonstop until the Republicans have to admit their LIE !!!!

If their economic theory, Supply Side Economics worked, wages would be higher and income inequality would

be lower.

Lower taxes benefit the wealthy, corporations, Wall Street, and politicians.

It devastates the working poor and increases poverty.

Take him down, Mr. Bryce! I wish I could vote for you (not my district), but will push your name and donate as much and as often as I can!

It's in everyone's best interest, no matter where you live, to help this good man!
