VOTE FOR PEACE!

It's a presidential election season and partisan passions run high. Candidates are squaring off, the pundits are in full echo-chamber mode, and everything is perceived in terms of the contest and its drama. But long after this election year is past, the issues that concern antiwar voters will continue to dominate the news.

Whether Antiwar.com, a movement institution with a proven track record, will continue to give you the most up-to-date coverage and pointed analysis on the web, is up to you. It always has been.

We've always depended on the kindness of our readers: your generosity and appreciation of the work we do. Each contribution, no matter how much, is a vote of confidence. We've come to you, time and again, asking for your support, and we're deeply gratified by your past generosity. Now we're asking you again.

Antiwar.com is strictly nonpartisan – and, in a certain sense, anti-partisan. We owe our allegiance, not to any individual candidate or organization, but to the Party of Peace. It is a cause that has few defenders, these days – and even fewer dollars.

You're voting for peace with your contribution, directly and unambiguously. So do it now.


So far, 347 of you have given $19,120 – a good start but a long way to go.
