At ripplesandcurrentsblogspot.com I found a piece by someone by the name of Irishfan called, Tom Reynolds-AMF , which conveniently pulls together some of his blatant faux pas, voting in direct opposition to his constituency’s best interests.

An excellent website themiddleclass.org http://www.themiddleclass.org/ tracks the voting records of all Senators and Congressmen on bills that directly effect the well being of the middle class. Although the organization will not issue final grades for 2008 until March, its pretty clear that Reynolds is on his way to his fifth consecutive grade of “F”. That’s right, five consecutive years of a voting record that is so counter to the interests of his constituents that he grades out at “F”. Reynolds has by far the worst rating in the NY delegation, whose overall record is pretty good. According to themiddleclass.org, Reynolds voted with the pro-middle class position only 46% of the time in 2008. The only NY representative that even came close to this sorry record was Randy Kuhl at 50% and the voters wisely retired Randy in November. That’s right, not only was Reynolds the most anti-middle class NY congressman, he was FAR worse than his Republican colleagues from NY, who averaged a 65% pro-middle class record in 2008.

He mentions Reynold’s NO votes on

The Auto Industry Refinancing and Restructuring Act

The Comprehensive American Energy Security and Consumer Protection Act

The Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008

The Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights

The Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act

I went over to themiddleclass.org website and scrolled through Tom and Randy’s records just for shits and grins. I’m so glad that we are now looking at their backsides!
