Ask Vice President Joe Biden to support the Department of Peace

The Issue

In his days as a Senator, Joe Biden championed and supported legislation to reduce violence, including the Violence Against Women act and a bill to establish a U.S. Academy of Peace. He recently spoke out against the latest events of deadly violence in the U.S., including the tragedy in Binghamton, N.Y. "We've got to figure out a way to deal with this senseless, senseless violence", said Vice President Biden. Let's remind him of his past support of legislation to reduce violence and ask for his leadership in moving the Department of Peace idea forward.
