To: The United States Senate

United States Department of Peace

I would like to see some of my tax dollars go towards fostering peace and nonviolence in America. I urge Congress to establish a Dept. of Peace to help Americans become more non violent, tolerant and humane.

Why is this important?

So many of our tax dollars go towards military spending, The Dept. of Defense, towards Education, The Dept. of Education, etc.; I would like to see some of my taxes go towards a Dept. of Peace. There are so many NGO's working for peace – breaking the cycle of domestic violence, aiding battered women, etc. I would like Congress to create a government agency dedicated to fostering peace in this country.
