Invest in Infrastructure for Peaceful Means

Take action today to urge Congressional appropriators to invest in critical conflict prevention and civilian protection in The President’s FY 2012 international affairs budget accounts.“…by helping prevent and mitigate deadly conflict in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, and by educating the US public on peacebuilding and conflict resolution…will help the U.S. save lives and treasure in the long- run by preventing wars rather than fighting them.”  -- from the letter to congress that the Peace Alliance, www.thepeacealliance.org, has produced. Go to the democracy in action site and type in your zip code to view the whole letter and to see contact information for your congressmen, then send it to them. You can title it, add your own thoughts to it, and then sign your name. 

Help to build the infrastructure that supports the use of peaceful means and prevents war!
