Planned Parenthood reportedly blocked from delivering petitions to Paul Ryan’s office

• Planned Parenthood volunteers arrived at House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office armed with nearly 90,000 petitions in response to GOP plans to strip the organization of its funding.
  
• Ryan delivered the news at a press conference, announcing that the legislation would be folded in with the Republican bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
  
• Apparently, the House speaker wasn’t quite ready for the impending backlash: According to tweets from Planned Parenthood’s official account, volunteers were greeted by a sign on Ryan’s door informing visitors that only “scheduled appointments” would be admitted into his office.
  
• The organization also alleged that six security guards had been sent to physically block the delivery of the petitions. Read more.
  

The right to petition the government for rests of grievances is in the First Amendment to the Constitution.

Time to start calling Paul Ryan’s office and inconveniencing his staff, folks. That seems to be the only thing congressmen like Ryan respond to.
