Pacifist Posse

Leaving aside whether the office of the vice president is or is not a part of the executive branch, the effort to establish a Department of Peace in the US government’s executive branch doesn’t seem to be going far or moving rapidly. Too bad. However, it’s not for lack of trying on some folks’ parts. For example, the Peace Alliance is conducting a campaign to promote the idea. It includes an effort to identify people in each congressional district to serve as team leaders, clips of celebrities supporting the initiative, and (of course) raise funds. Check it.
