Dear John xxxxxx,

Is it any wonder that as America has waged violence throughout the world, violence has overtaken our own nation?

This is the question I asked this summer in the Peace Speech I gave at St. Anselm University in New Hampshire.  To an overflowing auditorium, I invoked again the call for peace that my uncle President John F. Kennedy issued 60 years ago, in his landmark speech at American University.

Today, my campaign releases the third episode in the series of documentary shorts about my campaign called Running on Truth. This short film illuminates the spirit of my speech, which is about the power and necessity of making the United States a peaceful nation. I’m proud to announce Episode 3: “Peace for All Time.” I hope you will take some time to watch the episode.

By waging endless wars abroad, we have neglected our own wellbeing, and we have brought the violence home.  Gun violence, domestic violence, deteriorating mental and physical health… these are the wages of war.  They are inseparable from the violence we inflict abroad.  

What will be the wages of peace? We will begin to discover that in my Presidency. It will be a profound turnaround of our country, toward health, moral vitality, and prosperity for all.

Peace starts within. It comes from seeing that within each of us which is brave and generous and idealistic. It comes first by believing the radical idea that peace is possible. When we take the first critical steps toward peace, America will become, once again, a true world leader, and we will restore our moral authority around the world.

In service,

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
