The Department of Peace: The Opportunity to Vote

There has been a large grassroots campaign to create a Department of Peace in the United States, thanks in large part to Dennis Kucinich and Marianne Williamson. This movement is gaining a lot of momentum and the idea really gives me a great sense of joy myself.

If you think that the creation of such a department is worthwhile, you can help make it happen by voicing your opinion to the new administration. Barack Obama's change.org has a campaign entitled, "Ideas for Change in America," which allows you to vote for various ideas that you would like addressed by the next administration.

"Appoint Secretary of Peace in Department of Peace and Non-Violence" is one of the options. Please feel free to sign up and vote for this and/or any of the other ideas that you would like addressed. What a wonderful opportunity for participation.
