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," Mr. 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.
