Eric's Position on Stem Cell Research
I am absolutely "pro-cure." Stem cell studies are the most promising area of medical research to come along in decades, offering hope to millions who suffer from chronic diseases like Diabetes, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. We need this research to save lives. I recognize that this issue has been highly politicized, with the Administration and some supporters in Congress (Mr. Kuhl included) seeking to exploit this issue for political gain, but believe that we must do all we can to find critical cures. This is too important to let politics get in the way of saving lives.
  • I will vote "YES" on any bill like H.R. 810, which expands federal support for stem cell research in ethical ways, and I will lead the fight to override any veto. Period.

Doing Things vs Pretending
Jan 14 by Eric Massa

Doing Things

What we have all seen in the first week of a Democratically controlled Congress has been truly remarkable.  In one week the new majority has done substantially more to help Americans than the Republican-controlled House accomplished in the previous two... no make that four years. (link)  But there's a catch, and it's serious catch:



It's not veto proof.



And therein lies the rub.  Overwhelmingly Americans favor moving forward with stem cell research.  But we failed to achieve a veto proof majority in the House for that critical legislation.  That means we are at risk of seeing a repeat of last year's first ever Presidential Veto. (link)
