A bit of technical difficulties...

Sorry, the site was down for a few hours. I don't know whether somebody hacked in or whether some mischief was going on. Anyway, here are a few updates:

Kirsten Gillibrand voted for the anti-surge resolution and recently spoke with peace activists (http://www.fox23news.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=88453198-e8cc-414f-8669-ce46a3496e6a)
Meanwhile, almost all Upstate Republicans were against the recent anti-surge resolution, including McHugh, Kuhl, and Reynolds. Jim Walsh was the only Upstate Republican representative to cross over and vote for the resolution, and I (as well as many others) think this is only due to Walsh's increasing vulnerability representing a district which has been trending increasinly Democratic in recent years.

North Country Public Radio has a broadcast of John McHugh's "explanation" on why he continues to stand behind Bush on the war. (http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/archive.php?id=8717)
A new forum has been introduced by staffers of Congressman Arcuri where residents of New York's 24th District may express their concerns to the newly elected Representative (http://ny24thers.proboards101.com/)
