Let’s PAVU this Violence!

I believe in PAVU because I believe in our country, our community, and in human beings. PAVU is an idea whose time has come. If we all pitch in and circle wagons around this violence, we will ambition a cure to this disease that only exists because PAVU doesn’t exist. It’s time to end violence! So let’s inject PAVU into the vein of America and cure this violence that is plaguing our world. Now there is only one question to ask: DO YOU PAVU?

PAVU Ethical Integrity Statement: PAVU is not a ponzi scheme, a scam, or any kind of fraud. Anyone who wants to believe otherwise can “go kiss a frog!” We are just a bunch of people who want to better ourselves, then in turn help our world. This PAVU ethical integrity statement is meant to quell any paralysis or doubts that might arise from the common belief that “all convicts want to defraud society from behind the wall.” Though I cannot navigate this ugly away from this truth, except to say: “The proof of the taste is in the pudding.” Watch us, hear us, and understand us. We truly do want to rehab ourselves, then help our world.

The catalyst of this PAVU ideology lies in manacle of the handcuffing of two principles. The first is “This prison rehab stinks!!” There is no “wow factor” to it!! Governor Gavin Newsom is always saying “They get out so angry.” This is why. Prison rehab is too hard to get into, too many be-like-a-monk requirements, too many draconian knee on neck punishments. It should not be this hard to rehab one’s self. And why do we have to be street sweepers, toilet cleaners, and burger flippers? Why can’t we be scientists, engineers, and kick ass social workers doing real work in the community? Yeah, wow into rehab!!

The second principle is we plan to end this senseless violence in our community — not just put a dent in it, but end it! God bless the professionals, but they don’t have a clue on how to stop it. WE do!! It is us who are doing it; it will take us to stop it. Can’t say it won’t work. Look at Chico and Detroit using ex-gang members to stop the violence in their communities. We are that idea on steroids all across the country.

So, the apex of this PAVU Ethical Integrity Statement is to dialogue a prognosis of hope to those who might want to help us with this PAVU journey down a path, to help us help ourselves, then assist this marble we live on. Help us inject this PAVU cure into the vein of America and watch it cure some of America’s greatest social ills. There is only one question left to ask: Do you PAVU?
