1. Charged with trespassing?
I don't see how that could be considered trespassing unless someone threatened him. What a coward, and smug as well.

2. I believe everyone sitting in that video paid their $15 town hall entrance fee.
How can the police charge these protesters legally for trespassing when they paid their entrance fees?

10. Hey, maybe the need for "Congressional bodyguards" might be an up and coming trend!
We could see a huge increase in job openings!

6. 5 Kicked Out and 3 Arrested at Paul Ryan Town Hall For Asking Questions
politicususa
By Jason Easley September 7, 2011

Paul Ryan held his PPV town hall event at Klemmer’s Banquet Hall in Milwaukee. When some protesters who had paid their $15 stood up and asked him questions about jobs and the Bush tax cuts, Ryan not only had them kicked out. He also had three of them arrested.

The protesters got involved when Rep. Ryan tried to claim that our job crisis is directly related to our debt crisis. One person stood up and asked, “Our debt is out of control because of the tax cuts you’re giving…Our unemployment in 2003 was 6.2% before the tax cuts went through. Now our unemployment rate is 9.1%. What are you doing to create jobs, Congressman?”

This lady was shown the door. She was soon followed by another gentleman. Another woman stood up while Ryan was speaking and said, “You won’t talk to us. How can we give our opinions when you refuse to talk to us?” I think you can probably guess what happened to her. When someone stood up in the back and asked, “Where are the jobs, Ryan?” He mentioned corporations, and was escorted out.

An older man got angry when Ryan mentioned entitlement programs, and said that he paid into unemployment, Medicare, and Social Security for 50 years, and got himself kicked out.

8. Whitenall Park Rotary Club

I think we shall call them and voice our protest in fact I just sent them this message because I could not find a phone number.

Last Saturday I was at the Nazis protest in West Allis as a COUNTER HATE PROTESTOR and those Nazis were guaranteed the right to free speech as supported in part by the Greenfield Police Department and the Constitution of the United States. At yesterday meeting with Congressman Paul Ryan YOUR group had good American citizens removed for voicing their protest against their elected official. SHAME ON you and believe me when I say this, The Rotary no longer enjoys my support!

9. Such a deal!
And they only charged FIFTEEN BUCKS to "enable an open and public event"! THIS is what "privatization" is all about. If there's ANY way one can squeeze a dime out of serving others, let's stick it to them. Open and Public, my posterior!

This is what 'pigs want - a return to Aristocracy, with uber-failures (AKA, repigs) at the top. The uber-failures want to be put artificially on the top because otherwise they would all be living under bridges.

12. I can't believe the Ryan supporter who said she supported him because of "smaller government..."
"...freer markets and less taxes." :crazy:

Really? We've had that for 30 years now and we're now in the shitter.

She typifies Einstein's definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results...
