A Message From Dennis Kucinich - May 21, 2012
Dear Friend,
As we begin a transition for our movement to work from outside Congress, it is worth remembering that the cause of peace does not depend upon any of us having a certificate of election.
Indeed, in the past week, the House approved the "National Defense Authorization Act" which authorizes a continuation of War in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen and preparation for war against Iran. Additionally, arms reductions agreements with Russia were set back. Maybe Washington is ready to spend endless blood and treasure on endless war, but I do not believe Main Street is.
We need to instill in our fellow citizens the capacity to challenge our government to stop wasting lives and money on the foolish policy of permanent war for permanent peace.
We must use our nation's resources to build our lives at home.
The idea of a Department of Peace is to demonstrate that Americans have the ability and the desire to develop a capacity for peace-building at home and abroad.
Sunday's Washington Post article misses the point. Peace-building isn't about just one of us -- one leader or member of Congress. It's about every one of us. What do you think? Let's plan on continuing to work together to build new structures of peace. Please send me your comments and share this email on Facebook and Twitter to help us continue to grow this movement for peace.
Sincerely,
Dennis
In his commentary on President Obama's State of the Union address on January 24, 2012, Ashtar called on all lightworkers to write to the President and to Dennis Kucinich in support of the establishment of a Department of Peace. US Representative Kucinich introduced a bill in Congress in 2001 laying out the provisions of this Department. Now is the time to write in support of this because the President is taking action on what the people want, rather than what the corporations want. He is asking for input from the people and will act on issues that have enough support from the people.
Several of our Ashtar Family members have already sent us wonderful letters they have sent to the President. Please be inspired by them and compose your own letters and emails to the White House and to Dennis Kucinich and any groups which have already been promoting this idea whose time has come, such as The Peace Alliance and Americans for Department of Peace. For your convenience, we include links below. The Wikipedia article has a full history of the movement in this country including all the provisions of Dennis Kucinich's bill.
Once you have sent your letters, we will be happy to post them for others to be inspired. Please send a copy to Fran ashtarwebmaster@msn.com Don't miss the first letters below the links.
DEAR REP. KUCINICH:
IT IS TIME FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF PEACE, NESARA, AND FULL DISCLOSURE TO BE FULLY IMPLEMENTED AND DECLARED. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN MANY TIMES BEFORE, AND WE ARE EXTREMELY TIRED OF THE FAT CATS HAVING IT ALL.
I THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR STAND ON ISSUES, SO REFRESHING AND BEAUTIFUL. YES, TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PEACE NOW!! NESARA NOW!! FULL DISCLOSURE NOW!! END THE SUFFERING OF THE MANY NOW!! I WORK AT WAL-MART, SO I KNOW FIRST HAND HOW IT IS. CORPORATIONS TREATING US LIKE SLAVES, AND KEEPING THE BIG MONEY FOR THEMSELVES. GIVE WE THE PEOPLE OUR FREEDOM, PROSPERITY, AND OUR DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO US.
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU, DEBBIE THOMPSON, FLORIDA
"So glad I was on last night's call after President Obama's speech, and glad to hear that things are being set up for disclosure and for NESARA's announcement. I have been waiting since 1993 for NESARA !
"Another reason I'm glad I was on the call was to hear the request to write President Obama about establishing a Dept. of Peace. Below is a copy of what I sent to the President on the WhiteHouse.gov comment:
January 25, 2012
Dear President Obama,
Thank you for taking the leadership role in your speech last night and leading us into a hopeful future for America!
To add to that HOPE, I want you to establish a DEPT. of PEACE. I'm from Ohio and Dennis Kucinich would be a good person to head this Dept. Another major player would be Marianne Williamson, author of Save America book. She has been promoting a Dept. of Peace for many years.
Another contact would be American Friends Service Committee, 1501 Cherry St., Philadelphia, PA 19102. I received a statement from them this year requesting you to fund ONE MINUTE for PEACE.
I was alarmed when I saw how much they showed of our country's budget being spent on military: $1,107,446,000,000 !!!!! What a great country we could have if this kind of money was invested in our real future: the lives and education of our children!
I was a 1st grade teacher and I know that what you said about teachers making a difference is SO true! We need an educational system that supports teachers, too, as well as children. I didn't get the support I deserved and needed. The administration told me to "cool it" because I was doing "too good of a job" and making other teachers upset. Good teachers like me should be rewarded and supported.
Thank you for bringing our troops home! Bullying in our schools and war outside our borders both need to stop. It is TIME for PEACE. It is time to THRIVE, not just survive.
It's time for everyone's basic needs to be met, and this can be done by announcing NESARA. It is time for a new government and a supporting economy through NESARA.
It's also time to disclose the truth about the benevolent Beings and their ships who are here sharing our Earth & skies.
2012 is the year for BIG changes in America and in the world. My motto for this year is "OUT with the OLD, and IN with the NEW !!!"
I AM here to support you in establishing a DEPT. of PEACE, in announcing NESARA and disclosure. I truly appreciate you, your family, and those who stand with you. My loving support, President Obama, and my gratitude,
Sincerely, D. W., OH
A Sample Letter to Send to Your Email List:
"I am urging everyone to at least send in an e-mail to www.whitehouse.gov asking President Obama to create a new official office entitled: Department of Peace. This could be served by x-military officials and those coming back from the "for profit" wars ( which are deliberately created ) and those that know how devastating wars are on both humanity and this planet. A recent survey stated that 85% of the people in this world would get along just fine if someone wasn't out there creating wars for greed and control.
"A Department of Peace will send a strong message to our future and younger generations that war is just not allowed anymore on planet Earth. It's time for Peace and it's time we had a Department of Peace !!
"Lets get this campaign started !! One e-mail to President Obama could fire this project up !!
"Thank you and May God Bless you and may God Bless the United Sates of America.
( now that sounds pretty presidential doesn't it, hey maybe I'll throw my hat in the ring )"
