Did you know that well over 55% of our country's federal budget dollars goes towards Defense?
Of that 3-4% for Diplomacy (State Dept.) and that's been cut
and only .5% towards Development (rebuilding efforts after a country has been attacked)
Surely Peace can have a Piece of the Pie!
 
~We the People say, it's time to invest in the science of conflict resolution and peace-building in a serious and sophisticated way.

~We the People say,"The establishment of the U.S.Department of Peace is an idea whose time has come!"

~We the People say,"Peace Wants a Piece of the Pie!"
      We are doing this for our children and our children's children



In the spirit of peace and cooperation,
Happy Mother's Day!
