roy blunt
not on our side
Missouri’s working families are struggling with pay cuts, take-backs, and layoffs.
But Roy Blunt thinks that the stock market crash is “a good thing.” That’s because
he worked hard to give Wall Street a bailout while we were left with nothing.
[USA Today, 9/30/08; Gannett, 10/2/08; HR 3997, Vote #674, 9/29/08]

Voted Against Saving Missouri Jobs

When it came to helping struggling Missouri families and workers make it through the recession, Blunt did nothing.
He voted against federal legislation to create Missouri jobs and protect important state services.
[HR 1, Vote #46, 1/28/09]

Opposed Missouri’s Workers

Blunt voted against the Employee Free Choice Act, which makes it easier to form a union by preventing
employer intimidation.

Rewarded Companies That Send Missouri Jobs Overseas

Blunt has consistently supported trade deals, such as CAFTA, that send jobs overseas. And we have paid
the price—45,400 Missourians lost their jobs due to trade deals with China. Blunt even voted against closing
tax loopholes for companies that outsource.
