“Jon Powers, an Iraq war veteran from Clarence, Erie County, and a Democratic candidate in the 26th District, was accused of not being committed to the pro-choice cause and being opposed to same-sex marriage, based on an honor bestowed on him by a Catholic organization.

Powers’ honor by the Hibernians is ‘a serious problem’ for the candidate, said Linda Stephens, political action committee chairwoman for Rochester NOW, a chapter of the National Organization for Women.”

Sounds like a clear cut case of religious discrimination to me. Anyone from the DOR care to step up and defend this man and our Catholic faith against these bigots?
