Create A U.S. Department of Peace - Join the Peace Alliance


Congressman John Conyers meets with a group of MI activists
at our recent conference in D.C.and gets them pumped up!



Participate in an historic citizen lobbying effort to create a U.S. Department of Peace. There is currently a bill before the U.S. House of Representatives (HR 808). This landmark measure will augment our current problem-solving options, providing practical, nonviolent solutions to the problems of domestic and international conflict.

Domestically, the Department of Peace will develop policies and allocate resources to effectively reduce the levels of domestic and gang violence, child abuse, and various other forms of societal discord. Internationally, the Department will advise the President and Congress on the most sophisticated ideas and techniques regarding peace-creation among nations.

3. Morning Stella! Yes, it will be interesting to see how the new bill does.
I was telling Ayesha in another thread that I know some Republicans that are members, so it's attracting people from the whole political spectrum.

2. Kucinich was scoffed at and ridiculed over this idea....
It's still a good idea, imho.

Thanks for posting the link.
