Knowles brings message to Soldotna

The policies of the Bush administration are rewarding wealth not work, exporting American jobs and burying the next generation in debt, Democratic Party U.S. Senate candidate Tony Knowles told a Soldotna luncheon audience Thursday.

The former Anchorage Assembly member, city mayor and two-term Alaska governor said looking at the critical issues facing Americans and the way politics is being shaped by partisanship led him to seek national office.

A trip to Wasilla he made earlier this year was indicative of voter concerns, he said. There, people talked not only about the local coal bed methane issue and how they felt betrayed by state government, but also raised concerns about education and the USA PATRIOT Act's potential for impact on personal freedom.<snip>

The nation needs serious health care reform, Knowles said, especially with regards to the 42 million to 44 million Americans living with no medical insurance, eight out of 10 of whom are working Americans. One way to change that, he said, would be to give the 45 percent of small business that cannot afford to provide its workers with health care insurance some kind of tax credit if they did. He also said it should be a national goal to insure all children.<snip>

"The issues in this race ‹ jobs, health care, education, Social Security and our personal freedoms ‹ I think the urgency with which people want to deal with those issues in a positive way is why, not only in Alaska but in America, this election is so significant and important in people's minds," he said.

1. I have yet to hear a single Knowles Ad or seen any Knowles gatherings

It is all Murkowski every hour every day for the last several months. In fact her latest is saying Knowles broke election law and shouldn't have any of his ads aired at all. She has asked seven radio and TV stations to stop airing his ads. None of those stations are in Juneau.I guess he thinks Juneau is in the bag for him I don't know.
