Ohioans rally for jobs, rights, Boehner locks them out

On Monday the West Chester office of House Majority Leader John Boehner was picketed by 125 workers from throughout his district, loudly chanting, "Where are the jobs?" Boehner's staff locked the doors and refused to meet with a delegation.

"I don't think the congressman should be afraid of his own constituents," said Gabe Kramer, an organizer with the Service Employees International Union, according to a report in the Cincinnati Enquirer. The protesters became further enraged, the paper said, when they learned that Boehner was at a golf outing at a nearby country club. The office also locked out representatives from MoveOn on Thursday.
