Yet again cash greedy Republicans are trying to tap the few Republicans that would admit as much here in Portland, Oregon. And again there is a block wide exclusion zone around the hotel so yet again the fellow Kossack that owns the Dump Truck will lose income because their food cart is closest to the hotel the fundraiser is being held in. He lost $300.00 when Romney came to town for the same reason. Being a block away from the hotel I am outside the exclusion zone although my closest bus and light rail stops are now under police protection thus inaccessible.
The "free speech" zone is on the other side of the hotel from me.
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan will be in Portland on Monday.
Ryan will be holding two fundraisers in town - one that cost folks $1,000 per person and another that cost $25,000 per person.
He will be landing at Portland International Airport around 11 a.m. and will then head to the Governor Hotel in downtown Portland.
I apparently haven't got the remove finger from lens thing down yet:
This sidewalk is usually flowing with people this time of day:
Here are several mounted officers cordoning off someone. The officers were very concerned I was taking images. For the record they are in the public employ in a public place. Get over it.
And of course not far from the $25,000 a plate event:
6:43 PM PT: And as a coup de grace Ryan insults Voodoo Donuts!
