The ruling that will keep Alice Kryzan off the Working Families Party line was a difficult one to swallow, but we will move on. Alice Kryzan did issue a statement about yesterday's decision:
"Voting is our most sacred right. Chris Lee and his political cronies have plunged a knife into the heart of our democracy by engaging in voter suppression and denying Western New Yorkers their right to vote for the candidate of their choosing.
Having spent months dodging debates, refusing to take a position on the issues important to Western New Yorkers and hiding behind a million dollar smear campaign, Chris Lee has stooped to a new low. Lee is running a negative and empty campaign, and is now using his family's fortune to undermine the Democratic process.
Elections should be decided by voters. Chris Lee should be ashamed of himself."
The ruling yesterday keeps Jon Powers on the Working Families Party line. He wasted no time in sending an e-mail to his supporters asking them to vote for Alice instead of casting what would be a rather meaningless and pointless vote for him.
As many of you know, I am down in Virginia working with other veterans to get Barack Obama elected President of the United States. I just learned that because of a recent court ruling, my name will appear on the ballot under the Working Families Party even though I am no longer campaigning.
The choice between the two candidates campaigning for the 26th Congressional District is clear for Western New Yorkers. That is why I endorsed Alice Kryzan and am asking you to vote for her on November 4th. Alice understands the issues facing Western New York and will be a strong voice for the community in Washington.
The choice is clear. Republican Chris Lee will be another Tom Reynolds. We don't need another Tom Reynolds. We need new, fresh representation. We need Alice Kryzan.
