As you may have heard, Rep Eric Massa, Democrat congressman from the 29th district is resigning his job amid charges of trying to play with the boys in his office. Remember, he was the onme who said he was voting for Obama's govt takeover medicine..even though his constituents don't want it..
State sen Kathy Young may be running to fill his seat. Kathy is a personal friend of several years and I want you to know what she is like. Kathy was raised on a farm near Lima, in Livingston county. Her Dad & brothers still farm in livingston county. They hunt big and small game, same as you and I, while Kathy with her busy schedule, still enjoys trap shooting. She is a real Constitutionalist, and probably one of the strongest 2nd amendment advocates I have ever known. Kathy is a traditional/family values legislator who hates wasteful spending.
Check her out;

Even New yorkers are waking up. I have an aunt in Utica and she told my mom she is no longer a democrat. She is so mad. She hates Obama, she is done with global warming after this winter. Her son took a right wing coarse as of late and taunts her by saying Glen Beck should be president, and Rush should be secretary of state. Hope she wins.

We need a government with lots of Kathy Young type folks.

Not yet sure whether Kathy will run. I hope to see her at an event at Allegany State Park tomorrow. If I can get there I'll check with her.
There is a fellow, former mayor of Corning name Reed who is interested...He sounds OK and backs the Tea Party ideals, but beyond that I know little about him.

I would also support Cathy should she decide to run for Massa's Congressional seat. I have met Cathy several times over the last few years and she is truely a supporter of the second ammendment and a friend of all sportsmen. In her current role as NY State Senator, she has always listened to her constituents and voted accordingly. I often cross paths with her at local gun shows, listened to her as a speaker at various functions including gun or conservation clubs or at National Wild Turkey Federation functions.

If you are going to push for her to seek a higher office, please note the correct spelling of her name. It is Catherine "Cathy" Young, not Kathy.

I have never heard a bad thing about Cathy Young.I hope she gets in.

I seriously doubt we will hear about her conducting "tickle fights" a year from now.
Hey; do you suppose Massa and Barney Frank played "tag team" in the congressional tickle fight intermurals ? This is the congress Pelosi said would be the "most ethical in history"...

Remember Gillibrand. Had a gun by the back door and loved hunters until sent to the Senate. Now as a junior senator she does what she is told and has already talked against gun rights. Don't trust 'em til they have been in office for a while and you see how they vote then.

ironglow · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2010, 09:15:20 AM »

Cathy has been in office for some time and faced the 2nd amendment votes before. Besides; she won't be a Democrat. If her track record opn guns isn't valid, I don't know who's would be.

She has been to a few of out R&G club dinners. Each year for the last several years she has sponsored a trap and field shoot. From conversations I've been a part of she is truly a second ammendment supporter and if she runs, many Catt county sportsmen will support her.

Anyone can promise what you want to hear,then if elected they do what they are told to do,if they want a future in politics.

Danny;
You have heard several here testify to her attitude concerning RTKB and the Constitution..can't get a much better endorsement than that!
So when it comes to election day, what are you going to do? Will you back someone of whom you have had several sportsmen endorse wholeheartedly, or will you opt to go with someone representing a party which has been trying to grab our guns for at lest 40 years?
It is by no means a "done deal" that Cathy will run for the job. Tom Reed, mayor of Corning, NY is running a live campaign. Tom is a dtraight family values man who is in agreement with the principles of the tea party and a Constitutionalist.
In any case, we need someone who will help to overturn the freedom robbing, unconstitutional garbage being forced upon us by the Obamanites.

ironglow · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2010, 12:10:28 PM »

Latest info I have is that Cathy will not try for congress right now, so she is endorsing Tom Reed, present mayor of Corning in his run to replace Massa, since they share most of the same values. Among other things, Tom is big on the 2nd amendment.

DANNY-L · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2010, 12:40:34 PM »

What they say and what they do are 2 different subjects. That's how they get in there,but you never know until they do what they said or it's to late they're already there.

Ironglow: I firmly believe that before we can effectively deal with the obama administration we have to rid ourselves of the crooks in albany-that will send a message to all the d-rats that their time has come. I firmly believe we need to rid ourselves of the nyc influenced albany incumbents and establish a new government by simply voting out every single incumbent in office, and that does not mean electing one incumbent to another office like kwomo to the governor's throne. Following that action we simply need to divest upstate of the burden of nyc-let it seek independent statehood, special district or free-port status. if obama rode his horse to town on the 'change' ticket, then let's give him the change he never expected. Let us give him nyc and let him bear the burden of their dysfunctional existence.

DANNY-L · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2010, 11:00:54 AM »

As long as they have no interest in whats there now I'm all for it,but we need to weed out the entire garden as a whole which in NY is impossible.
Ironglow your right I dont know her,its just hard to trust anyone in politics but anyone that gets elected in there has to be better than we got now,by a long shot.

Guys;
I look at it this way; I think it is the liberals who are pushing the idea of "let's throw them all out". As it is, it looks like the liberals are about to face some heavy losses nationwide. If they can convince us to "throw them all out"..those who vote our way as well as all others, then the liberals stand at least a 50/50 chance of keeping some power.
Right now, the mood across the country is to throw out the big spenders, the big taxers and the big government types who want to take our rights, esp 1st & 2nd amendments away. If we fall for their "throw them all out" game...we're playing right into their hands.
An intelligent voter looks at the record of each candidate, and votes for the one who votes for limited taxes, limited government and our personal freedoms, esp 1st & 2nd amendments.
Don't let the liberals win by default...check on the voting record of each candidate. That's easy to do nationally; just click onto
> www.ontheissues.com < ..not hard at all; and there must be a similar site for state officers, surely for your local state senators & legislators.

Don't fall for slogans; do your homework..& pass it on !

Utilizing this website you can ascertain just what youir state candidates are for or against and how they voted. Obviously, to throw out a candidate whoi votes correctly every or almost every time would be stupid on any voter's part !

I do not have a problem with throwing them all out. I do not believe this is a 'liberal' push. I do not believe the liberals have enough power, money or numbers to make anything like that happen and I seriously doubt they could have thought that one up - they aren't that smart, they are just loud mouthed complainers who want everyone else to pay for their agenda.

If we limit political representatives to two terms it will/should have the same effect as time limited public service - nobody gets the chance to 'homestead' on the taxpayers dole and nobody develops enough 'power' to run roughshod over a bunch or other incumbents. In addition, shorter term 'representatives' do not lose the perspective of who put them into office and whom they 'owe' - such as, their constituents, not the 'party'.

If we tell them all - no more global warming nonsense, no more gun restrictions, no more bailouts, no more buy-backs, no more this, no more that, and let them know that if they do not carry our wishes forward they will be out of a job in the next 2, 4 or whatever # of years, they are going to have to seriously think about returning to their former means of employment to put bread in the toaster - not like shumers, klintons and obamas who never held down a steady job that wasn't paid for out of the taxpayers pocket. that's why we should vote them all out of office.

Mikey;
I especially agree with your last paragraph, and I am in favor of term limits..but all must be limited by law, not just our guys. That's what the T Party is all about and why I favor them.
I believe the "progressives" are behind the "throw them all out" idea..and they have no intention of throwing theirs out. They are just hoping we will fall for their new spin campaign.
