Is War a Critical Issue with You? [View all]

It seems to be a fringe issue yet it should be front and center.

We need to end our wars.

Bernie agrees. Let's get Hillary to agree. If she wins the primary, I could vote for her in good conscience.

Otherwise, I will vote for the Democrat nominee but in protest if it is Hillary.

I'm anti-war and most of America is as well.

Our elected official should abide by our desire for peace.

Does anyone here disagree?
