> 98 Challengers and 115 Incumbents Oppose War $
> 
> Ninety-eight congressional candidates and 35 national organizations are opposing any more funding for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
> 
> The 98 candidates are from 29 states and Washington, D.C., and include 33 Greens, 24 Libertarians, 22 Democrats, 6 Independent Greens, 5 Independents, 4 Peace and Freedom Party Members, 2 Republicans, 1 Socialist, and 1 West Virginia Green.  
> 
> Eighty-five are candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, and 13 for the Senate.   
> 
> Members of the Coalition Against War Spending do not all agree with each other on many topics, including their reasons for opposing war spending.  But they all back this short statement: 
> 
> "The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost Americans over $1 trillion in direct costs, and over $3 trillion altogether.  At a time when our national debt exceeds $13 trillion, we can no longer afford these wars.  It's time for Congress to reject any funding except to bring all our troops safely home."
> 
> The 98 candidates listed at http://caws.us are all challengers.  Some have won and some have already lost primaries.
> 
> Incumbents can be judged better by their actions than their statements.  As documented at http://defundwar.org 115 of them have demonstrated a willingness not to bankrupt our nation to fund illegal wars.
