Department of Peace
"There is currently a bill before both houses of Congress to establish a United States Department of PEACE, this historic measure will augment our current problem solving modalities; providing practical, nonviolent solutions to the problems of domestic and international conflict.
"The legislation will pass from bill to law under one condition; that a wave of citizens interested rise up from the American people and make itself heard in the halls of Congress." [from The Peace Alliance broacher]
You can read more about this extraordinary bill at: www.thepeacealliance.org
