Time running out for tough questions to Dems

Nov 28, 2007

Dear Friend,

How would a new Democratic president go about reversing the disastrous national security policies of George W. Bush? Despite a recent war of words between Clinton and Obama, how far apart do they really stand on dealing with Iran? Do any Democratic presidential candidates support building a new generation of nuclear weapons?

If you still have questions on where the presidential candidates stand on major national security issues, the time to find answers is quickly running out. The Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire primary are less than six weeks away - January 3 and January 8, respectively.

This August, Council for a Livable World received responses to seven critical national security questions from six Democratic presidential candidates. Click here to read their full responses.

The Council couldn't continue to seek strong commitments on our issues without the generous support of people like you. Please consider contributing $25, $50, $100 or more to help Council for a Livable World keep these issues on the forefront of every candidate's agenda.

Council for a Livable World invited all declared Democratic and Republican presidential candidates to answer the questions.

Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Obama, and Richardson responded to questions on nuclear weapons, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, Iraq, space weapons, and negotiating with Iran and North Korea - crucial issues that should be prominent in the presidential campaigns this year.

Democrats Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, along with all of the Republican candidates, did not respond to the Council's questionnaire.

A well-informed voter is a responsible voter; we should all know exactly how the candidates plan to address these important national security issues. Click here to contribute $50, $75, or $200 to spread the word on where presidential candidates stand on the issues.

Sincerely,

John Isaacs and Guy Stevens
