Paul Ryan comes to Fresno for the Money - Faces Demonstration

by Mike Rhodes (editor [at] fresnoalliance.com)
Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan came to Fresno today to raise money for his campaign. Outside of the Valdez Hall at the downtown Convention Center over 200 protestors held signs and chanted as the well healed patrons of the power elite made their way into the event. At one point about 15 (CSUF) Campus Republicans held a counter demonstration. They soon left to attend the event with the $1,000 per person tickets they had been given.
