Appleton, Wis. (WFRV) -- Republican Congressman Reid Ribble's Appleton office was once again the site of protest.

The group says they are urging Ribble to vote against extending Bush-era tax cuts to the richest 2% of Americans.

The protesters were also upset that they haven't been able to meet and discuss the issue with their congressman.

"We're all struggling.  He's giving tax cuts for the rich, what about the 99-percent, the middle class," said protester Teri Crabb.

Congressman Ribble released a statement saying, "These paid protesters are deliberately disrupting important constituent services work... it's incredibly disappointing these professional political groups have decided to bring these Madison-style, 'occupy'-type protests to northeast Wisconsin.
