Dear President Obama:
I would like you to propose some meaningful gun control legislation, to include limiting the size of clips and quantities of ammunition, as some of the common sense steps in making America safer after the shootings in Aurora, CO, July 20, 2012.
Also, if you could take initiatives to make our mental health services more pro-active to identify and treat at risk persons, I think that would help make America safer.
Additionally, I want to urge you to support the creation of a federal level Department of Peace and Non-Violence. I believe our cultural belief in the myth of redemptive violence is what fuels the unending violence on our streets, in public places, and in our homes. To counter this, I believe, there needs to be a high level priority in all our institutions of self-government to advance the values of non-violence and peacemaking and I hope you agree.
Sincerely,
