Police Block Protesters at Paul Ryan's Office

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) -- Police have turned away a half dozen protesters who have occupied Rep. Paul Ryan's Kenosha office since last week.

The demonstrators were told Wednesday that the congressman's staff and the building's owner signed complaints that bar them from entering.

The group began their protest last Thursday. Organizer Shanon Molina says they want to meet with Ryan to talk about jobs. Ryan hasn't been in the Kenosha office since the demonstration began. His staff has offered to set up a conference call with Ryan or have the group submit a written request to meet with the congressman in the future. The Kenosha News says the protesters have declined those offers.

A similar sit-in at Ryan's Racine office has been allowed to continue.

    Ryan and Ryan and Duffy should both put on their "man pants" and meet with the people. They have their "mobile offices" that cost the tax payers alot of money, to isolate themselves from the voters. I hope both of these cowards will be voted out in the next election.

    This is another case of a public official only speaking to those he wants as a audiance. He should be voted out as with all of the others who only want to speak to the public, not with the public who are the voters. Remember this at the poles next time. Is he really placing your best interest 1st or his?

    Once again a congressman wants to make sure voters are turned away. So much for being an elected official and coming to listen to voters. Doesn't the voters pay his wage? Shouldn't he listen to them? Guess not!
