Are these tos in right places so that the sentence is meaningful? The sentence talks about some people we need to persuade to live our life peacefully.
And yes, look we have some judges to persuade to too, to live life peacefully ahead.

I think you need to replace persuade with talk to, to achieve the effect you want.– Peter ShorCommented Apr 22, 2015 at 21:06

1You just persuade someone, you don't persuade to. You would only use to if it were followed by an infinitive, e.g. persuade someone to go home.– BarmarCommented Apr 22, 2015 at 21:35

Your answer was helpful, but I loved the repetition of those 'tos' in the sentence ,while reading it. And so I was asking if the sentence was grammatically correct.– JourneyCommented Apr 23, 2015 at 9:43
