Letters to the EditorTo the editor:
Perhaps because of all the talk about economics, bailouts, etc, in recent weeks, other important
campaign issues have been receiving less attention. One of my main reasons for hoping to see incumbent Michael Arcuri reelected to Congress from the 24th CD is his statement in a letter of June, 2008, "The time has come to honor the bravery and sacrifice of our military men and women by moving forward with a responsible, tactical withdrawal out of Iraq."
Another is his statement in a letter of December 2007, "I feel strongly that pursuing a military option against Iran is not a prudent solution." His votes on various funding bills in recent months have been entirely consistent with these statements. The human and material costs of our misguided war in Iraq weigh heavily on my mind and conscience, and I believe that an attack on Iran would have catastrophic, cascading consequences for our country and the whole Middle East. Please help elect a man who shares these concerns and can be trusted to act on them.
