MAJOR NEWS REGARDING U.S. DEPARTMENT OF PEACE – A Call To Action – Senate Interest & Three New House Co-Sponsors! [Message from Matthew Albracht at Peace Alliance]

Some major news from the campaign front. Our [Peace Alliance & DoP] time together in D.C. lobbying our representatives is paying off in off in a big way. At a meeting with our youth leaders in D.C., Senator Mark Dayton from Minnesota agreed to help us "move this forward" on behalf of our children. This is a HUGE milestone in our campaign and for the future of this legislation to have a member of the Senate to express such interest. We need your support today to help us keep up this momentum with Senator Dayton.

Call Senator Dayton's office today at 202-224-3244 and thank him for his interest and support on behalf of our children. [Duchess Note – I called the Senator’s office at 4:50pm EST.]

We are inviting our children to call their Senators and Representative to ask them to support a Dept of Peace. Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at: (202) 224-3121. You can find your representatives at: www.vote-smart.org The new bill number in the House of Representatives is HB 3760.

On the House side, the week is not even over and we already have three new co-sponsors and much interest from others. This is great news! Congratulations to all for you hard work at our conference (and for those of you who called your Representatives from home!) What a remarkable time we had together. It's just the beginning of a new chapter in this historic work together.
