Minnesota Shootings: A Response
Please send the following fax or email to your Congressional Representatives:
Dear (title, name),
After the tragic school shooting in Minnesota recently, we are reminded once again of the urgent need to establish a United States Department of Peace.
Among other things, the Department of Peace will include a best-practices template for the amelioration of violence among America's youth population. Please visit http://www.ThePeaceAlliance.org/main.htm for a more detailed description of the plans for the Department of Peace.
I hope you will support the bill to establish the Department, when it is re-introduced in legislative session on September 12, 2005 in the House of Representatives.
Sincerely,
Constituent whomever

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Please also send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. We suggest you reference an article written on these tragic shootings.
Dear …,
After the tragic school shooting in Minnesota recently, we are reminded once again of the urgent need to establish a United States Department of Peace. We need to much more seriously address the underlying causes of the problems of violence that we face today.
Among other things, the Department of Peace will include a best-practices template for the amelioration of violence among America's youth population. The Department would implement measurably effective intervention for issues such as, school and gang violence, domestic violence, reduced prison incarceration rates, and international conflicts to name a few issues. You can visit www.ThePeaceAlliance.org for a more detailed description of the plans for the Department of Peace.
The bill will be re-introduced in legislative session on September 12, 2005 in the House of Representatives.
Sincerely,
Constituent whomever
