"VotersForPeace is educating, organizing and activating voters to end
the occupation of Iraq and prevent future wars of aggression. Our
mission is to mobilize anti-war voters into a visible and effective
political force that cannot be ignored. We provide voters with the
information and tools they need to be effective advocates; this
includes educating their friends and family on the occupation, writing
letters to the media, or becoming active in their region's
Congressional elections."
This coalition is 'real' because it acts like a true single-issue
coalition and does not drag in questions of 'economic justice',
funding for Katrina victims, or a mishmash of other causes that seem
expressly designed to turn libertarians away from peace coalitions
(though I doubt their organizers see it that way, to be fair).
There's a simple pledge:

"I will only vote for or support federal candidates who publicly
commit to a speedy end to the Iraq war, and to preventing future 'wars
of aggression'."
But along with this, I am sensing an early derailment to any
enthusiastic run again David Price for congress. He seems better than
most on the Iraq war - though I do note he seems to support the
occupation of Afghanistan. Maybe I should consider a more thoroughly
pro-war incumbent.
