Saturday evening I attended an Eric Massa house party on the shores of the enchanting Keuka Lake. It was very well attended, with about 60 people there to listen to and support (for the most part) our congressman, who speaks truth to power in spite of the consequences. As per [...]
In addition to the guest essay which Stlo7 wrote about this morning, Eric Massa has recently determined additional reasons that the troop surge is a bad idea. From The Corning Leader:

I found a new blogspot called Brains and Eggs. They have a wonderful group of responses to the president’s 30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan. Among them was Eric Massa’s response:
And I would have to ask a question: Why 30,000 troops and not 40? Why 30,000 troops and [...]
The president is talking about sending up to 40,000 additional troops into Afghanistan. Stlo7 wrote about it today, Eric Massa talked about it on the floor of the house at the beginning of November, on the 2,950th day of that war and he spoke about it again 2 [...]
We know what the local “Tea Parties” look like. Check out this-a woman who lost her 7mo pregnant daughter-in-law because of lack of health insurance is heckled and laughed at in this Town Hall meeting.
My head hurts again.

The 29th has seen a few close races, but neither Randy Kuhl nor Eric Massa poisoned the well the way Doug Hoffman just did. Citing an ACORN conspiracy, Hoffman revoked his concession, and now he's been fundraising on claims of "tampering" based on ordinary election-night screwups.
This is what happens [...]
Drilling the Marcellus Shale, which may contain the largest supply of natural gas in North America, was the topic of a meeting last night in Corning. Eric Massa's "strongly worded letter" was part of the meeting. The concern is that extracting gas from Marcellus requires huge amounts of water [...]
Tim Kolpien of the Reed campaign was kind enough to send over Tom Reed's financial disclosure report [pdf]. And, courtesy of Open Secrets, here's Eric Massa's [pdf].
[...]Tom Reed and Eric Massa both agree that trying accused 9/11 plotters in New York is the right thing to do.
Reed is smart to reject the craven hysteria of some of his fellow party members, who are spinning crazy scenarios to avoid using courts that have already [...]
So, what’s the story with the wind farms of Cohocton? Have you driven down there? There are something like 30 of them dotting the hillsides by Route 17 heading through the Southern Tier. I think they’re beautiful. I love the idea of renewable energy being produced on such [...]

A slapfight is developing on regional blogs about Rep. Eric Massa’s refusal to vote for the Healthcare Reform bill. You have Phil Anderson, editor of The Albany Project saying that Massa is duplicitous and “full of shit”.
