I want to make sure that everyone understands the GOP budget that Congressman Dave Reichert enthusiastically supports.

It abolishes the ACA (Obamacare). It guts funding for education, research and infrastructure.

It makes Medicare a voucher system. It cuts $260 million for higher education.

It cuts the EPA by $718 million (who needs clean air or water)?

It cuts food stamps by $137 million (let them go hungry).

Best of all, it does not balance the budget. It does increase military spending, not for veterans or GIs, but for the defense companies that line your representatives pockets.

This budget will be a disaster, if passed. It won’t do any good to tell Reichert to vote against it. He does what his party tells him to do, not what is best for his constituency.

Your only recourse is to vote him out in the next election.
