Dave Reichert voted 84.2% with the Republican minority in the last year. He voted for the drug companies and against seniors on Medicare. He voted for extending the War in Iraq even when the public wanted to bring the troops home. He also voted to double foreign worker importation in the form of H-1B visas, while voting for funds in free trade agreements and the provisions to increase immigration and the importation of foreign workers.
A true extremist, he voted against bringing the troops home from Iraq. He voted no on HR2956, a bill to bring troops home. He also voted yes on HR2206, a bill to fund troops without a withdrawal deadline. In both cases, Democrats voted for bringing the troops home.
On the other hand, he voted against seniors and for drug company profits. On HR4 he voted against legislation to help seniors on Medicare with lower prescription drug costs. The bill would have allowed the government to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for seniors on Medicare. Almost all Democrats and even 24 Republicans voted for the bill, but not Dave Reichert.
Finally, when Main Street middle class Americans badly need jobs in the worst recession in 76 years, Dave Reichert has supported legislation to import cheaper foreign labor for high tech jobs. He co-sponsored HR1930 which would vastly raise the cap on foreign workers and make their employment permanent. In addition, he supported using American dollars in free trade agreements used to import foreign workers. He voted against the free trade amendment that would have prohibited the use of funds and the increased immigration of foreign workers.
Dave Reichert is an extremist supporting big business and Wall Street against the needs of normal Main Street middle class Americans. Let's stop this extremist and help me to fight for Main Street.
