ON JULY 4, 1776

... a date that should ring a bell for everyone, the Second Continental Congress recognized the achievement of peace as one of the highest duties of the newly-formed USA.

That's from Finding #1 of Article #1 of the current DoP bill. I quoted that in my mass mailing, and added my own remark for the emphasis I believe the bill intended:

"DUTY! What does that mean to you?"

Of course, I was referring to the current bill. The time frame of spring 2001 has a very special significance to me.

"Blue in a Red State"

since 1792

The DoP idea has been around since 1792! It just didn't have a modern evangelist until 2001. See http://www.thepeacealliance.org/background/rush.htm.

I edited the press release for the Peace Wants a Piece of the Pie event and got it out to two newspapers (Post&Courier - mainstream; Skirt! - alternative) and six radio stations. The "City Paper" only comes out every two weeks, and they just released one. I googled "Charleston, SC media" to get my leads, and my criterion was that they have email contact information without joining anything. Not too scientific!
