A List of Peace Candidates
Just one week remains before midterm elections on Tuesday, November 7, and an increasing number of close races will determine the balance of power in the House and the Senate.

War is the key issue. The occupation of Iraq could continue for decades with escalating debt, more lives lost, and impaired national security. Meanwhile any provocation may lead to a U.S. attack on Iran, one that is likely to ignite a regional or even broader war.

Tell lawmakers you want peace.

More than 120,000 voters have signed the VotersForPeace Pledge to withhold support from war candidates. Here's how you can use the Pledge to influence lawmakers.

1. If you haven't already done so, sign the VotersForPeace Pledge

2. Gather 10 additional VotersForPeace Pledges and ask each of them to gather 10 additional VotersForPeace Pledges

3. Call your Senators and Representative about your commitment as a Peace voter. Tell them you signed the Pledge.

4. Use the Pledges gathered in your congressional district to pressure candidates. Numbers are available at www.VotersForPeace.org/ .

5. Last but not least, vote for a peace candidate on Tuesday, November 7.

It's not always easy to identify a peace candidate. Some candidates avoid talking about the war issue, aware of public discontent and wary of revealing a pro-war stance. Some candidates are changing their position at the last minute in an effort to win votes.

Take every opportunity to ask candidates tough questions about Iraq and Iran, and check voting records and public statements before deciding how to cast your vote. The link below may help you identify peace candidates.

Your actions today can deliver a clear message to lawmakers and change the course of history.

Start by telling your family, your friends, and your co-workers about your decision to be one of the VotersForPeace, and keep telling others until we elect peace candidates on Election Day.

Sincerely,
