Unemployed constituents, spurned by Paul Ryan on multiple occasions, were galvanized into action the Tuesday following Labor Day. After being unable to convince their representative to schedule a FREE public meeting following a week long sit-in, the members of his district converged on a one time only pay-per-view event far away from the majority of his constituents.

At the luncheon, Paul Ryan's unemployed constituents repeatedly stood to ask him what he was going to do about the jobs crisis. But, instead of addressing his members in need, Ryan had the unemployed escorted out by police and made petty remarks.

In one incident, a gentleman in his seventies stood to confront Ryan about his stance on "entitlements" and was grabbed by police. He was then wrestled to the ground while Ryan joked, "Hope he took his blood-pressure medication."

[The Wielding Truth]

1. Remeber how they did this to us when all we wanted was better healthcare?

They wanted to be listened to and they were. Our health care was watered down, good congresspeople lost their jobs, and now we are under the thumb of the uber wealthy and selfish. It pays to stand up and shout. We nneed to be heard too. I applaud these people.
