This overly simplistic response to the Department of Peace proposal indicates to me that you have not fully considered the need for reform in our government to place greater emphasis on nonviolence in resolving conflict issues, both domestically and internationally. The current legislation - H.R. 808 - contains many practical approaches based proven programs. I encourage literate people to read the legislation to get an idea of the positive impact this department will have on the lives of all Americans.

That said, if the Department of Peace is not something you can support, jwelborn3434, what alternative methods would you propose for reducing violence? Keep in mind that current approaches are not working.
