Our national security and defense agenda is built primarily on an endless preparation for war. Yet shouldn’t we also prepare for peace?

Given the nuclear weapons that exist today, can we afford to only have policies geared toward keeping some people from having them? Shouldn’t we also have policies geared toward creating a world in which no one would ever even think of using them?

In the words of H.G. Wells, “If we don’t end war, war will end us.” It is thoroughly irresponsible of us to NOT discuss how we can create a more peaceful world. In the words of Dennis Kucinich, “We must challenge the belief that war is inevitable.” We must do this and do it now.

Your supporting President Trump's disdain for the traditional American war-industrial complex would help more than your preening virtue signaling -- about a new federal department. "Department of Peace" 🙄 Just adorable!

Not Dennis Kucinich, that’s a quote from Louise Hay. Remember Louise Hay, Marianne? louisehay.com

You should mention the Department of Peace more often. The Department of State certainly isn’t making the grade.

It is a "Human Right" to live in peace. History of military conflict "initiated by" political party. Watching you at the NPC. #CodePink #Warmongers

Is it not we 🇺🇸who have the weapons of mass destruction? Peace is called forth from eternities heralding “love, forgive, give”#WizardsUnite
