Just saw this on FB and I am sharing it here...

An urgent message from The Resistance:
Attention resistors!
Copy & Paste only do not share from here - for wider distribution.
Democratically elected U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan has turned off all of his public telephones and fax machines due to overwhelming protests in favor of Obamacare/ACA, Planned Parenthood, and Medicare, other issues such as tax returns, etc. He is also turning away voters delivering signed petitions.
So here is the new tactic:
Please mail postcards to his HOME address:
PAUL RYAN
700 ST. LAWRENCE AVE.
JANESVILLE, WI 53545
Please PASTE and COPY this info and share. Let’s see what 67 million cards in the driveway looks like…

the No Bannon campaign. Thought it important to have some on hand.

No press ever covered that. Need some eyes/cameras on the ground in Janesville for this one. So the word can be pushed out beyond our common choir.
