Activists Lobby Congress to Create US Department of Peace

After three days of intensive workshops and presentations from leading peace-building and conflict-resolution experts, The Peace Alliance wrapped up its national 2007 conference by sending more than 600 citizens representing 47 states to lobby more than 250 members of Congress on Capitol Hill earlier this week to create a US Department of Peace. The visits included meetings with 12 US Senators, four Democrats and eight Republicans.

Jeez, let me guess who the eight Rinos are.

BTW, one of the co-sponsors of this effort is Keith Ellison (D- MN).
