TOM REYNOLDS THREATENS WORKING FAMILIES 

He sent our jobs overseas with CAFTA, denied job-training programs and overtime pay, slashed $12.7 billion from the student loan program, raided $1.1 trillion from the Social Security Trust Fund and increased health care costs for working families. He sided against working families and seniors and with big oil and drug companies—the same companies that have given him more than $200,000 in campaign contributions.
