CORNING N.Y. - Today, Retired Navy Commander and Candidate for New York's 29th Congressional District Eric Massa defended children's health care and went on the offensive against his opponent Randy Kuhl. This past week, Kuhl voted against the SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) Bill in Congress which would extend health coverage to millions of children in low income families. This is the second SCHIP Bill this year which Kuhl has opposed and even though this Bill is the result of bi-partisan compromise, which has been supported by conservative Republican Senators such as Charles Grassley (Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (Utah), Randy Kuhl and President Bush oppose it.

On Thursday, retired Navy Commander Eric Massa issued his plan to protect Social Security from privatization as George Bush and Randy Kuhl have tried to do. You can read it by clicking on the link below.
