LOS ANGELES -- Green Party congressional candidate Byron De Lear has been asked by organizers to present on "Peace and Sustainability" at the upcoming World Peace Forum taking place in Vancouver, Canada, June 23 through June 28, 2006. The World Peace Forum will be attended by government leaders, social philosophers, and peace activists from around the globe.
Byron De Lear, candidate for Congress in California's 28th District of the San Fernando Valley, commented on his upcoming appearance. "It is imperative that we apply our collective genius towards meeting the global environmental and intercultural challenges facing humanity. Today, every living system on our planet is in decline. One of things I will offer to the World Peace Forum is the political 'solution-set' to this imminent crisis: the 10 Key values of the Green Party."
The De Lear for Congress peace campaign <http://www.delearforcongress.org>
has garnered support and endorsements from several well-respected international humanitarians and activists. Alanna Hartzok, co-director of the Earth Rights Institute, proclaimed, "Recent meetings with Green Party elected officials in Australia renewed my hope that we can build a world that works for everyone.
"The Green Party is so much more than a political party; it is a global network of the best and the brightest of the emerging new leaders of the planet. Byron De Lear is one of those leaders. He has my whole-hearted support for the success of his campaign for Congress,"
Mrs. Hartzok added.
Peter Camejo, California Green gubernatorial candidate, in his letter of endorsement for De Lear, lauded the Ten Key value solution set. "As Green Party candidates we are bound by 10 Key Values which serve to forward an agenda that promotes and preserves the human rights and dignities of all the people of our state, of our nation, and our world," said Mr.
Camejo.
International renowned environmentalist Dr. David Suzuki, founder of the David Suzuki Foundation and host of PBS The Nature of Things, added, "We have the tyranny of a minority and no diversity. I congratulate you on running for the Greens and hope you can raise important issues that will be ignored by the major parties, and I hope you can even raise enough support to win."
Also appearing at the World Peace Forum are Hans Blix, Cindy Sheehan and Dennis Kucinich.
