Indivisible Protests Paul Ryan’s Visit To Chestertown, MD
By Leann Schenke Special from the Kent County News. Paul Ryan, along with U.S. Rep. Andy Harris (R-1st District), and jay Timmons, CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers were visiting Dixon Valve to tout the Republican plan for tax reform. The proposal aims to grow the economy and the manufacturing sector.
Stafford is a member of Indivisible. She said she came to the protest so Ryan could see that people are unhappy with him.
"We're dealing with an administration that does not speak for us," said Melissa McGlynn, of Chestertown. "(President Donald) Trump is despicable and Ryan won't stand up against him. It's our duty then to flex our First Amendment right."
About 50 protesters began to line both sides of High Street about a half an hour before Ryan's expected arrival at 2 p.m. Chants by the protestors included: Health care for all, not just Paul.
