BusNuns: "We just had a very lovely conversation with Congressman Ryan's staff, we were well-received"

While Janesville marked just a brief stop on the bus tour, it was an especially significant one for the sisters, who have been traveling the country spreading their message.

After speaking out in other states about the Ryan budget, they took their concerns directly to his office.

The group was joined by Ryan's challenger in the upcoming election, Democrat Rob Zerban.

"A visit by a bus full of nuns is very telling about how people feel about Paul Ryan's budget and that they feel it's very wrong-minded," Zerban said.

But not everyone there agreed with the nuns' cause. The Catholic Church has criticized them, and a few other sisters showed up to support Ryan, creating a sisters showdown of sorts.

"You disagree with what they're doing?" Wainscott asked

"I certainly do, and I'm embarrassed that my fellow religious sisters are doing this," Sister Rosalia Bauer said.

But in the end, the Nuns on the Bus did what they came to do: They delivered their message.

"We just had a very lovely conversation with Congressman Ryan's staff, we were well-received," Campbell said.
