Now is the time to stand up against violence.

All violence. No longer participate in. Rejected it. Lock up those that want to cause it and isolate them from society.

Our government should start by downsizing the military and bringing all our troops home and closing all foreign bases. Then put our troops to work rebuilding this country and its infrastructure.

At the same time retrain our police to become true peace keepers. Maintain order and stop violent crime as the number one priority.

End the drug war because its just another war that creates violence and violence on our streets has come to an end. Increase drug couseling and drug education but real and honest not just scared straight abstinence only education.

Bring back community end the fear mongering on the news and the lies and mistruths. All the people on this planet that want peace and non-violence far out number those that want war. So reject their wars. Refuse violence! Mankind has been at war since the day we invented the spear. It is time to drop the spear!
