Dear Influencer,
In every state, city, and town, from all backgrounds, races, religions, genders, education, and income levels, people all over the United States are living with an ever-growing epidemic: The impact of Gun Violence. Directly and indirectly, this epidemic is harmful to the health, happiness, and well-being of both children and adults.
I am asking you to add your name to the Resolution to Reduce Gun Violence & Improve the Health & Well-being of the country by adding Planned Acts of Kindness into schools for children four years and up.
As you will see in the Resolution, the benefits to society from people engaging in Planned Acts of Kindness activities include lower rates of violence, less mental illness, less substance abuse, less crime, safer communities, less government expenditures, more productive members of society, greater tax revenue; and, of course, fewer suicides, injuries, and murders.
Please join us as we launch this transformative behavioral initiative that can change the trajectory of families, neighborhoods, cities, states, our country, and even the world.

Resolution to Lower Gun Violence & Improve
Health, Happiness & Wellbeing through Planned Acts of Kindness
The U.S. is Suffering from a Gun Violence Epidemic & Planned Acts of Kindness is the Vaccine. People in the United States are living with an epidemic: The impact of Gun Violence. Directly and indirectly, Gun Violence is harmful to the health, happiness, and well-being of children and adults.
WHEREAS the past several years have seen the frequency of Gun Violence across America rise from 269 Mass Shootings in 2014 to 690 in 2021. Gun-related injuries increased from 22,779 in 2014 to 40,602 in 2021. Gun deaths rose from 12,418 in 2014 to 45,098 in 2021. Every new year is poised to exceed the highest numbers yet in all Gun Violence categories.
WHEREAS the consequences of Gun Violence aren’t restricted to those directly connected to the violence, they negatively impact the emotional growth and development of children, and the mental health of youth and adults of all ages.
WHEREAS the problem isn’t guns per se, the problem is our failure to value life and properly socialize our youth and adults that have led to the breakdown of civility and kindness throughout all segments of society. The solution isn’t just raising the age when — or limiting what — people can purchase.
WHEREAS to cure the problem we must take a systemized and scalable approach to make civility and kindness integral ingredients to people’s daily routines. Having a delivery and support system that provides, recognizes, and rewards children and adults on their performance of specific Planned Acts of Kindness and skill-building volunteer activities is requisite to its success.
WHEREAS having these Planned Acts of Kindness programs in place fosters collaboration between individuals and institutions to achieve optimal benefits — exactly what is necessary according to the Children’s Welfare League of America (CWLA).
WHEREAS the benefits to people engaging in Planned Acts of Kindness activities include greater well-being, better relationships, and stronger community ties —exactly what’s needed for people to live happier, healthier lives. Engaging in Planned Acts of Kindness and being a member of the PAK community will reduce participants’ feelings of isolation, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Participation in the programs and support system will help insulate and protect people of all ages from the anti-social behaviors of others while at the same time lowering the number of people engaging in these behaviors, and Gun Violence, in the first place.
WHEREAS the benefits to society from people engaging in Planned Acts of Kindness activities include lower rates of violence, less mental illness, less substance abuse, less crime, safer communities, less government expenditures, more productive members of society, greater tax revenue; and, of course, fewer suicides, injuries, and murders.
RESOLVED, that the Not-for-Profit Organization, Planned Acts of Kindness (PAK):
1. has spent years in the development of kindness and civility-based “Quality of Life” programs that work for the betterment of kids, people, and the planet;
2. has multiple programs, books, courses, events, and initiatives that, because of the diversity of people, are needed to engage, inspire, and transform behavior in children as young as four years old through adults of all ages, genders, nationalities, races, religions, education, and income;
3. calls upon individuals including students, parents, employees, the unemployed, and the retired to incorporate Planned Acts of Kindness programs and activities into their lifestyle and encourages people of all ages to take a proactive role in participating in these transformative programs as they strive for greater Quality of Life for themselves, their families, their communities, our country, our global neighbors, and the future of the planet;
4. calls upon governments, companies, faith-based organizations, non-profits, and schools of all sizes to incorporate Planned Acts of Kindness programs and activities into work/life balance, health, and wellness, and Corporate Social Responsibility offerings for employees, contractors, families as well as stakeholders and shareholders.
WHEREAS our goal is to have tens of millions of children in schools, and hundreds of millions of people around the world engaging daily in Planned Acts of Kindness programs and activities and positively transforming the Quality of Life for billions of people on the planet.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that I am adding my name to this Resolution in support of the 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Planned Acts of Kindness, and its “Quality of Life” Mission as evidenced through its civility and kindness programs and initiatives.
Resolution to Lower Number of People Exhibiting Criminal Behavior & Going to Prison through the Institution of Planned Acts of Kindness
Collaboration Impact Area: The U.S. Prison System
Dear Influencer,
Did You Know that the United States is #1 in the World in Prison Population? We have 2.2 Million People in Prison. The two most populace countries in the world, China & India — COMBINED — have the same number of people in prison, BUT they have 10X the Population! This is definitely not something you want to be #1 in the world.
What is even more staggering is the annual cost to society: $1.2 Trillion. TRILLION, not Billion. Medicare & Medicaid help over 154 million people with their health care. The Cost: $1.4 Trillion. So, the cost to help 154 million annually is 1.4 Trillion dollars versus the cost to incarcerate 2.2 million is 1.2 trillion dollars. Any way you look at this it’s not a good ratio.
It gets worse when you put it in perspective:
- The average weekly amount a cost-cutting couple spends on groceries: $120
- Less than 43% of American Adults have this much in savings: $1,200
- 87% of American Households earn less than $120,000
- 92% of Americans have Less Net Worth than $1,200,000
- 1% of the Annual Prison Cost? $1,200,000,000 (1.2 Billion)
- What the number 1.2 Trillion looks like: $1,200,000,000,000.
Another way to look at it is this: Every person in the prison system costs society $545,454.54 annually. That’s over half a billion dollars. Remember, 87% of all American’s households earn less than $120,000 annually. That’s 4.5Xs less than the people in prison cost us.
Your Net Worth is what you’ve accumulated in wealth over your lifetime. Over 90% of all Americans have less than 1.2 million. That’s only 2.2Xs greater than our annual prison cost.
So, tell me truthfully, does this tick you off?
Well, one goal of our goal organization is to give People from all Backgrounds & Ages Essential, Engaging & Transformative Quality of Life Programs, Books, Courses, Events & Initiatives So They Have the Socialization, Skills & Support
SO THEY DON’T EVEN CONSIDER DOING THE THINGS THAT WILL LAND THEM IN PRISON IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Please add your name to the Resolution and play it forward. This is too important an issue for us to ignore if we are truly interested in obtaining better Quality of Life for people.
With best regards,

Resolution to Lower Number of People Exhibiting Criminal Behavior & Going to Prison
through the Institution of Planned Acts of Kindness
The United States is #1 in the world in prison population per capita with almost 2.2 million people incarcerated. The number of prisoners in China and India combined equals our own, but their population is almost 10 times greater than the United States.
WHEREAS the cost of 2.2 million prisoners to our society is 1.2 Trillion dollars annually. Medicare and Medicaid combined help over 154 million Americans with health care and the annual taxpayer cost is $1.4 Trillion. Thus, the annual cost per prisoner is $545,454.54, and this money is desperately needed elsewhere. For every 100,000 reduction in our prison population, we save taxpayers and society 54.5 Billion dollars annually.
WHEREAS one of the goals of the Non-Profit Organization, Planned Acts of Kindness, is to give people from all backgrounds and ages essential, engaging, and transformative “Quality of Life” programs, books, courses, events, and initiatives so they have the socialization, skills, and support so they don’t even consider doing the things that will land them in prison in the first place!
WHEREAS to cure the problem we must make civility and kindness integral ingredients to people’s daily routines. The benefits to people engaging in Planned Acts of Kindness activities include greater well-being, better relationships, and stronger community ties —exactly what’s needed for people to live happier, healthier lives. The benefits to society from people engaging in Planned Acts of Kindness activities include lower rates of violence, less mental illness, less substance abuse, less crime, and fewer murders.
WHEREAS, having the programs in place will help insulate and protect people of all ages from the anti-social behaviors of others while at the same time lowering the number of people engaging in these behaviors in the first place. People engaging in Planned Acts of Kindness and being a member of the PAK community will reduce participants’ feelings of isolation, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Engaging people in Planned Acts of Kindness and being a member of the PAK community will lower gun violence.

Dear Influencer,
The world is in crisis and there is no question that this generation of children will contend with the most difficult issues this country has ever faced. The window of planned and impactful actions is closing quickly. As options to avoid impending and ongoing disasters get fewer and fewer, more and more people and countries will be driven to take whatever means are at their disposal to ensure their survival. Indeed, this decade will end up determining the Quality of Life for billions of people.
The Time for Division Is Over:
To push back on social, economic, and health inequalities as well as the Tipping Point issues of climate change, pollution, pandemics, and war we must stop the fractional approach we use to solving these global issues. The time for division is over.
As described in the following Resolution, we must come together under one system that provides us with the best path forward to achieve these lifesaving results. In short, we must collaborate to succeed. We must collaborate to survive.
To better outreach, engage, educate, and inspire individuals and institutions to collaborate on these issues, we are requesting your sponsorship of a Resolution to proclaim “2024 The Year of One Planet One People.”
We have already received confirmation of support from numerous influencers and institutions across the country who support the program.
Adding your signature and showing your support is a wonderful opportunity for you to demonstrate your commitment to Social Responsibility by empowering and transforming the lives of millions and the legacies of our children.
Groundbreaking Transformative Programs:
We have many groundbreaking programs and initiatives that work for “the Betterment of Kids, People, and the Country.”
For example, our “Education for Quality of Life” program adds kindness and civility through Planned Acts of Kindness into schools and faith-based organizations for children as young as four years old. The E-QL program works to prevent the development of mental illness, antisocial behavior, loneliness, anxiety, depression, suicide, substance abuse, violence, gun use, and crime by creating a support system based on developing quality relationships and stronger ties to local, national, and global communities — the two key ingredients to obtaining a happier, healthier life.
Our programs are recommended by organizations including U.N. NGOs, Google, Simon Property Group, the Peace Corps, and the book is endorsed by Jack Canfield, author of the best-selling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books who will be promoting it to his million-plus followers.
The Next Step:
In addition to adding your support signature to our One Planet One People Resolution, please reach out to our organization about how we can collaborate on bringing these important programs to benefit people in your community.
Thank you for your time and attention — It’s very much needed and appreciated.
