Ryan, Walden visit Portland, greeted by protesters

http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/08/protestors_deride_paul_ryan_an.html

The fundraiser -- which ran $1,000 for a photo-op and $2,700 for a meet-and-greet -- came after a packed day for Ryan and Walden. They toured Intel's Hillsboro campus, met with company executives to talk tax reform and held a press conference.

"It's fitting for everyone to see that they charge $2,700 for a secretive dinner," Layng said, "where they can plot how to take away our health care."

They should have protested Ryan himself and not "the fundraiser".
