Based on questionnaire responses, along with voting records, and public positions, we will compile Peace Voter Guides that will be on the CFPA website, distributed by organizations and individuals, and run as signature ads in newspapers. CFPA has begun offering Candidate Briefings on our issues to major party candidates in the 7 th and 8 th districts, key swing areas in the Philadelphia suburbs. On May 22, we held a Briefing with George Badey, a candidate in the 7th district.
