Check Reichert’s record

Published 5:03 pm Wednesday, November 5, 2014

The election will be over by the time this is published. I wanted to respond to the people who question my facts by asking how Dave Reichert gets reelected.

The answer is you believe his rhetoric and do not check his record.

All the statements I made can be verified by checking his voting record. Your Congressman’s voting record is a matter of public record. I know he voted for the Democratic initiatives for veteran’s jobs and housing. However, he voted for the Republican budget that did not fund these programs and in fact slashed veteran benefits. I don’t call that supporting veterans. For those of you have put your lives on the line for this country, I think you deserve better than someone who just talks a good game.

I want someone who backs it up for you, and that person is not Reichert. In future elections I hope everyone will check their representatives voting record and not just accept everything they say as fact.
