Reynolds cosponsors SCHIP, then votes against it
This is kind of strange. Tom Reynolds was a cosponsor of HR 976, the SCHIP bill. Then he voted against the bill.
Why would he do this?

So he can stand up during his next election campaign and say “I cosponsored the bill to provide more health insurance for children.”
Of course, he doesn’t expect the wimpy media to call him on his vote against the bill.
Actually if you had done proper homework you would see that H.R. 976 was the Small Business Tax Relief Act, and the Democrats switched out the text with their flawed SCHIP bill. But let’s not let facts get in the way of the truth.
H.R. 976 was originally the Small Business Tax Relief Act of 2007, and the Democrats switched the text out for their SCHIP Bill, that’s why it shows up as it does.
Do you have a link to back up your claims? If I’m wrong, I’d like to run a correction. But you need to provide me with more information.
This along with his do-nothing predator bill, and the rent-a-kid fiasco, has got to make him the biggest faker in the whole “pro-kid” business.
Shameless plug time: If you want to hear from Reynolds’ Democratic opponent this year (and we hear he’s great!), please come to dfa rochester link up on Wed. Details and RSVP here http://www.dfalink.com/event.php?id=23559
Why would he do this?
Simple. He’s arrogant about where he stands. He feels he can make this race (between him and Powers) about local issues. Sorry Tom, not this time. Jon is a well rounded candidate who is going to hit you hard on your job from Williamsville to Washington.
Andrea, nice plug… Jon is a great guy and great candidate. He should impress you. He’s going to make a fine representative come January 2009.
