Sen. Harry Reid Avoids Answering Tough Questions About Personal Financial Disclosures;

Bodyguards Deflect Inquiries

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- 1001 Reasons to Vote Against Harry Reid, an independent committee, posted a video of Sen. Harry Reid being confronted by a citizen with a question about his personal financial disclosures. The voter had read the Committee's recent report (click here: http://www.harryreidvotes.com/buzz/) detailing issues of concern, namely the complete lack of documentation of Harry Reid Ltd, which is cited as the source of income of several hundred thousand dollars for Sen. Reid and the curious personal loan to Sen. Reid made by Ashe Resnick, a mafia-connected figure.

The citizen, who wishes to remain anonymous, asked Sen. Reid pointed questions about these issues and then was body blocked by his security detail. Here is a link to the confrontation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnmd2oVai4M

It is the hope of the Committee that more Nevada voters come forward and ask Sen. Reid questions about his financial disclosures, as well as his voting record, whenever an opportunity presents itself at town hall meetings, fundraisers or in passing at the airport. Sen. Reid should remember that, as an elected official, he is accountable to the voters of Nevada, and they have every right to ask him questions about possible errors or misstatements on his financial disclosures, ghost companies bearing his name, sweetheart deals for campaign donors, and assorted votes for higher taxes, job-killing regulations, Wall Street bailouts, and the expansion of government. We urge citizens to ask these questions and more, and we pledge to post any videos obtained of his responses to the people who pay his salary.
