Any ideas on how the NFOA could "participate"??    ;D

Well, It's just a thought, but if they are going to have the youth of Omaha "lay down any weapons" I say we need a representative there to "pick up any weapons" that may be of value and use.  ;)  >:D 8)

A "Community Pledge for Peace"    ???     :laugh:

I'm sure this will work just as well as all the rest of these efforts.

This will have about as much effect as candlelight vigils do.  A way for people to feel like they're doing something for a cause without actually doing anything.

Reminds me of this:

"Tell (family members) it's time to put down the guns." Oh man, why didn't I think of that?  :o
