the guards in. I'm sure there's a way to find out where he's living when in DC. Pile the boxers in front of his door so he'd have to move them to get in.

We could also get together and everyone email the Speaker and overload his email account. Just become a real PIA!

Remember when the GOP thought it would be a really great idea that every bill submitted had to reference the specific part of the Constitution that granted the power to pass the bill? Guess they have decided that that pesky old Constitution isn't working for them any more.

A day after he explicitly vowed to cut its funding, volunteers for Planned Parenthood made their way to House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office to deliver over 85,000 petitions in support of the health provider. But once they got there, they tweeted that they were turned away at the door.

“I stand with Planned Parenthood, and for every person’s fundamental right to affordable quality health care, the right to plan our families and our futures, and the right to protect our health and our lives.,” the petition, which is available on the Planned Parenthood website, reads.

On Thursday, Ryan told reporters that the GOP’s efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act will include measures to effectively strip federal funding from Planned Parenthood. As Fusion has previously reported, this could limit access to health services for over 600,000 people, particularly poorer people and people with little access to other healthcare providers.

After reportedly being denied access to Ryan’s office, Planned Parenthood said the volunteers delivered the petitions to the office of Representative Gwen Moore (D-WI).
