Progressive Blog is Sour on Jon Powers; Gives Thumbs Up to Alice Kryzan

Here's what the blog "Progressive Democrats WNY"  has to say about Jon Powers and Alice Kryzan who are running for the Congressional seat being vacated by Tom Reynolds:   

"As a point of interest this Blog will not endorse nor support Jon Powers in the upcoming primary campaign.  In response to questions he indicated that he does not support the basic progressive concept of National Health Care choosing the Republican theme of affordable health care - how does one achieve that in a free market economy where the number of physicians, health care plans, technologies, and medications has not driven costs down but up. The tradition progressive position of a national health policy was only supported by Alice Krysan.

Mr. Powers has also come out in favor of what could be a prolonged stay in Iraq and possible conflict with Iran. Both Alice Krysan and Jack Davis disagreed with him on this area.

Looking to the local economy, all three candidates advocated pursuit of a Green Economy and development of a locally based green production production program.
I have been a frequent attendee at local alternative energy, green industry, and green technology programs sponsored through out the area.  Alice Krysan has usually been in attendance while Mr. Powers and Davis have not.

I believe that Ms. Krysan is better suited to be the candidate more than willing to lead the community in changing a firmly entrenched conservative mindset to doing business, government activity, and political leadership that has held the area back over the years."
