Massa Calls on Opponent to Take a Stand on Iraq...

Following Randy Kuhl's refusal to take an up or down vote, Massa calls for answers

Following his opponent's refusal to take a stand on funding the war in Iraq in a Thursday vote (H.R. 2642, #328), Retired Navy Commander Eric Massa issued the following statement.

"As America continues to spiral into recession, I have joined with a number of Congressional challengers to write the Responsible Plan for Iraq," said Massa. "We cannot continue spending trillions of dollars on a war with no end. Professional politicians always talk about "making the tough decisions." On Thursday, my opponent joined with 131 other timid members of Congress that refused to even take an up or down vote on Iraq. This bill will also fund our essential veteran's services, and Randy Kuhl's refusal to even take a stand shows that he in fact does not support our troops. This is hypocrisy at its highest and families in Western New York deserve at least a yea or nay vote from their member of Congress."
