;''[Uploaded soon - Outlook presentation - why elections are the only way a small group can change American Foreign policy. How to pressure American politicians to vote for peace through blue state elections]''<br />
<br />
Because the only way to change American foreign policy is through elections, the '''only''' focus of an American peace organizations and individual advocates should be around the next congressional election. <br />
<br />
====If you are a peace organization ====<br />
The National Rifle Association is the most powerful lobbying organization in the United States. The NRA focuses on one issue, and one issue only. They will support any candidate, no matter what the party, if that candidate supports gun rights. <br />
An effective American peace organization should focus '''only''' on American international foreign policy. This organization should embrace '''any''' viable candidate that supports peace, even if that candidate has domestic policies that members do not traditionally support.<br />
<br />
The peace organizations should focus on only one Blue/Purple State Congressional race. Focus the entire budget of a peace organization on one congressional race in which the pro-war democrat candidate in a tight race. This will be the first step in a marketing campaign for the peace organization. An election victory that the peace organization can show to donors, volunteers, the media and most importantly, future candidates that an anti-war platform is important to the electorate and change is possible.<br />
<br />
====If you are an individual in America====<br />

;In a congressional election:<br />
Does the Republican candidates for Congress (including the Tea Party) support peace more than the Democratic member? <br />
<br />
Actively pressure your [https://web.archive.org/web/20160405170811/http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ blue state democrat congressman] to make a firm statement in support of peace. Meet with your congressional candidate. Tell them if they do not actively support a pro-peace campaign, you will fervently support their Republican opponent.<br />
