Dear Karin,

On September 14th, 2005, the long awaited U.S. Department of Peace 
legislation will be introduced in the House of Representatives. The 
Department of Peace will research, articulate and facilitate 
nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflict, while 
also employing proven and effective strategies for reducing violence 
both domestically and internationally. It is an important piece of 
legislation that will, if enacted, go a long way towards changing how 
our government approaches conflict internally and externally.

However, we need your support to help make the Department of Peace a 
reality. We only have two days before this bill is reintroduced. It's 
urgent that you contact your representative in the House and urge her 
or him to support of this bill today!

What the Department of Peace will do:

-- Teach violence prevention and mediation to America's school children

-- Support our military with complementary approaches to ending violence

-- Create and administer a U.S. Peace Academy.

We need your help to show our elected officials that there is a broad 
and growing movement to support the creation of a Dept. of Peace. We 
must make it clear that we the people want our government to invest 
in the structures and systems necessary to promote a culture of 
nonviolence.

Support the Department of Peace by contacting your representative
