On the five year anniversary of the war in Iraq, Massa demands change... Joins with fellow Congressional Candidates Dan Maffei (NY-25) and Jon Powers (NY-26) for press conference to demand more targeted funding for VeteransMarch 18
CORNING, NY - On Wednesday, March 19th 2008 at 9:00 am, retired Navy Commander Eric Massa will join fellow Congressional Candidates Dan Maffei (NY-25) and Iraq Veteran Jon Powers (NY-26) for a press conference at the Rochester Veterans Outreach Center at 459 South Ave, Rochester, NY 14620. During this press conference, all three candidates will observe the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Additionally they will be calling on their opponents and the White House to provide more targeted funding for our Veterans.
Since the war in Iraq began on March 19th, 2003, 3,990 American troops have been killed, tens of thousands have been injured and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died. While President Bush and Randy Kuhl continue to block health care for working Americans, deny us the truth of our economic situation, and create more hurdles for Veterans requiring services, they have no problem spending $3 trillion on a war of choice against a country that had no involvement in the 9/11 attacks.
"Those of us that wore the uniform honor our men and women who stood with us," said retired Navy Commander Eric Massa. "Today I call on Randy Kuhl to finally stand up to George W. Bush's failed foreign policy. Since he came into office, Mr. Kuhl has gone out of his way to rubber stamp President Bush's each and every demand for Iraq. We are currently spending almost $6,000 per second in Baghdad while thousands of children right here in Western New York cannot receive access to health care. Additionally, our returning Veterans continue to encounter more and more red tape while trying to receive the long-term care they have earned. This is the hypocrisy of incumbency and we must hold our failed leaders accountable."
WHAT: Congressional Candidates Eric Massa (NY-29), Dan Maffei (NY-25) and Jon Powers (NY-26) will be observing the five year anniversary of the start of the Iraq War and demanding change. WHERE: The Rochester Veterans Outreach Center - 459 South Ave, Rochester, NY 14620. WHEN: Wednesday, March 19th at 9:00 am.

Military progress in Iraq cheers Kuhl from The Democrat & Chronicle on Sep 12
by Erin Kelly Washington bureau
(September 12, 2007) -- WASHINGTON -- Rep. Randy Kuhl said Tuesday he was encouraged by testimony from Army Gen. David Petraeus that this year's increase in U.S. troops has made Iraq more secure.
But he said he is disappointed by failure of the Iraqi government to make progress in bringing together rival factions and create a stable government.
"One of the most important revelations has been the increased emergence of tribes and local citizens in rejecting al-Qaeda and local extremists," Kuhl said in an interview. "And the fact that the Iraqis are enlisting thousands of new recruits for the security forces in Anbar also is a definite sign of progress. On the flip side, there is frustration with the slowness of movement on the political, diplomatic and economic fronts."
The Hammondsport, Steuben County, Republican said he supports Petraeus' proposal to withdraw U.S. troops to pre-surge levels by next summer.
