Subject: 3-3-21 proposed new annual Presidential Medal of Honor for Crime-Prevention

March 3, 2021

Dear Very Honorable United States President Joe Biden in Washington, D.C.,

I am writing you today on behalf of my public-safety-minded and still-one-approved-member (myself, only) Honor Society, the politely-non-Christian "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion" with very stringent membership-eligibility requirements.

Mr. President, I urge you to please establish a new Presidential tradition in the USA in which the Chief of State publicly awards a special Presidential Medal of Honor each year to the American citizen or visitor to the United States or non-profit organization anywhere in the world that or who contributed significantly toward crime prevention in the United States during the previous most recent applicable 12-month period or multi-year period.

This type of annual awards tradition can help to promulgate the message to the entire world, and throughout our entire nation, that the United States of America is very determined to significantly reduce the incidence of violent crime and other types of criminal activities anywhere and everywhere in this peace-loving nation.

To underscore your own profound awareness about the crucial importance of addressing underlying contributors to criminal activities in the Unites States, I also urge you to consider including in the scope of possible accomplishments that might qualify a person for the proposed new "Presidential Medal of Honor for Crime Prevention Award":

---success at helping Americans resolve their inter-personal conflicts or other conflicts with others in a non-violent and law-abiding and honorable manner.

---promotion of abstinence from sarcasm or abrasiveness or mental cruelty or slander or libel in communications with or about others.

---promotion of respectfulness toward the privacy rights of others.

--reduction in the illicit-drug-addiction rate in a city or county or state or multi-state region of the nation.

--reduction in the incidence of binge drinking of alcohol.

---reduction in the incidence of alcohol consumption by minors.

---reduction in the high-school dropout rate by American youths.

---promotion of consistency at defensive driving and etiquette on the American roadways.

---reduction in the vehicular accident rate on roadways, it being a certainty that reduced incidence of vehicular accidents helps to prevent "road-rage" and accompanying criminal activities.

--abatement of noise-pollution levels in American cities and towns, it being alarmingly apparent that excessive and annoying continuous noise pollution in a city or town can play a role in increased irritability and distractedness by residents and visitors, along with an accompanying increase in noise-pollution-rage-related bodily-injury crimes and one-vehicle accidents as well as "road-rage" crimes.

---a dramatic reduction in the percentage of residents of a city or town who own guns.

---a dramatic reduction in the verbalization of profanity in a city or town or county or region or state or nationwide.

----promotion of living conditions in which as many residents of a city or town can achieve a full eight or seven hours of healthful and revitalizing sleep every night inside their bolt-locked private residence.

I also urge you, Mr. President, to please consider asking the federal government to officially sponsor a very creative and innovative new official Crime Prevention-theme website that invites questions and comments from persons of all ages and backgrounds throughout the United States, and from visitors to the United States or prospective visitors to the USA.

Congratulations again on your very diligent and very incisive style as our new Chief of State! I want to wish you continued great success throughout the entirety of your first term as President in your very influential leadership role for our entire nation and world!

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, founder and only current approved member of the Honor Society "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion".
