QUOTES

"As a nation, this is the moment to start seriously investing our time, energy and resources into proven methods of reducing violence, both within our nation as well as internationally. The cost of violence to our culture and our children is simply not sustainable. I have learned that in the United States, youth homicide rates are more than 10 times that of other leading industrialized nations, this is just one example of the challenges we face. Is this really a legacy we want to leave our children? There is a better way.

Please join me in getting involved in this landmark peace effort. We have a strong plan of action this year at The Peace Alliance for moving this initiative forward. Click on our "Act Now" link below to contact your member of congress, and the "Get Involved" link to find out how you can support your local campaign efforts. Together, we can make a U.S. Department of Peace into a reality, and leave a gift of peace for generations to come."

For me, expression is the key to fulfillment. Because of the work of The Art of Elysium, many children have the opportunity to express their deepest feelings. Through art, they are able to manifest their dreams.
