I urge you to at least scan Marianne Williamson's powerful article entitled "Waging Peace" - published November 16 in the Boston Globe - then peruse the links connected to my own specific comments about it - below:
==============================
There are several practical ways to support all the good things that could come of out this (besides a bunch of us peace promoters getting up to speed about the hopes and intentions of the co-sponsors of House Resolution 3760 and Senate 1756 -- and here's a good place to go to do that: http://www.thepeacealliance.org/content/view/12/67
We need to ask more of our Congressmen/women to become co-sponsors! http://tinyurl.com/y4vept (So far only two Senators in the whole country - what is wrong with this picture?)
You can take action here if you want to be supportive as a local volunteer: http://www.webdataresources.com/peacealliance
And don't miss this additional list of excellent ways to offer tangible support to the emergence of a Department of Peace: http://www.thepeacealliance.org/content/view/86/113
Surely a lot more students could be involved from the various Peace Clubs on campuses across the country as this picks up steam! http://www.thepeacealliance.org/content/view/197/166
Grace and Peace,
Clair
Reflections, thoughts off-the-beaten-path and (in)digestion of current events by a hospital chaplain from Indiana (where we're called Hoosiers) who moved to Australia in June 2008. Taking faith seriously, trying to make a real difference in the lives of people, and seeking to maintain a "balanced" perspective by clowning around on a unicycle and twisting animal balloons as my alter ego: "Clair de L'uni" are some of my favourite ways to journey through life. Grandfatherhood is also exhilarating!
