Peace Action Maine, the state’s largest peace organization, has just released their 2008 Peace Voter Guide. The 2008 Peace Voter Guide features 1st Congressional District and Senatorial Candidates’ responses to thirty-three questions relating to peace, militarism and foreign policy issues. The Peace Voter Guide may be accessed online at Peace Action Maine’s website: www.peaceactionme.org.

Topics covered in the Peace Voter Guide include, but aren’t limited to, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. arms sales and military aid, human rights and civil liberties and nuclear proliferation.

In an election season that features many contenders who self-identify as “progressive” or “anti-war” candidates, the Peace Voter Guide sheds light on the often neglected nuances of such descriptions.
