Script for "Department of Peace"

AGING HIPPIE: Welcome to the Department of Peace.

(Text on screen: PeaceVan.com)

Sure, it looks like a van. But with Congressman Mark Udall's help, it could really happen.

(Text on screen: Udall Peace Dept: $8 billion. 2001 HR 2459, 2003 HR 1673)

Udall wanted to spend billions on a Department of Peace and a peace academy.

(2003 HR 3789 CQ #562, HR 3289 CQ #601)

So, Udall voted against funding for our troops. Cha-ching! Come on, let's go inside Udall's Peace Department.

(Hippie slides open van door, smoke pours out, and hippie quickly closes it)
