Bryant McGill Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
February 09, 2009
Bryant McGill, the Founder and Goodwill Ambassador at Large for the Goodwill Treaty for World Peace has been Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. A group of deans at major universities, college chancellors, professors, university department heads, state legislators, and Emmy Award winners have come together to lay the groundwork, culminating in the official nomination for a man who has dedicated his life and dreams to a vision of greater peace and harmony in the world.
“This nomination is dedicate to all lovers of peace, who dare to have the unmitigated audacity to stand up to the sickness of cynicism, and defiantly believe that a more beautiful world is possible. I would also like to put the nomination in context. Over 200 people a year are nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and being a nominee is not an official status or title, and unless you win I am not sure a nomination means very much. It can be very easy to receive a nomination, and there are so many other people doing wonderful things who deserve the recognition. But even considering everything, I am grateful for the nomination. It was a wonderful gesture.”
McGill, whose Ambassadorship was recently officially recognized by the United States Congress, and the State of Connecticut’s Capitol through three senators and numerous legislators said:
I would especially like to thank the following:
- My friends and supporters
- Arizona State University, and the University of South Alabama
- Tom Danheiser and Emmy award Winner, George Noory
- The distinguished Philip Rubin Scholar, Dr. Gregory Cotter
- And all those who have participated in this surprising gesture.
“I am calling out for help to all good spirited people in the world, who have faith that through love, the world can be transformed into a sanctuary of abundance for all. Vast regions of the world are now literal human slaughter houses, where deserving, bright-hopeful eyes, now stare blankly toward the last hiding places deep within. Each of these worthy souls have been robbed by poverty, fear and grotesque apathy. They exist as former humans, who should be delightfully moving through the sacrosanct journey of life with dignity, but are instead reduced to mere vessels of pain; they exist each relentless moment as vessels of pure misery.
Cynicism is the only true enemy of progress. We may not be able to change the world overnight, and I have no fantasies of creating a utopia, but trust with me, through faith in possibility, that we can make some difference, and no matter how slight that difference is, it will be a resounding triumph for humanity! We are now taking our message before the kings and common citizens of the world, where we will open our hearts and implore their deepest consideration, and they will be changed. As Victor Hugo wrote, ‘There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.’ The time has come. We can, will and ARE creating a ripple, that will traverse the globe, carrying with it a message of hope through oneness.
Please lay down your cynicism, and believe like little children in the transformative power of love. Give peace a chance by daring to believe all things are possible when you follow your heart. Sign the treaty today, and join us in making a binding contract with the universe for a better world tomorrow. Your oath IS POWER. Your declaration is the first step in a seemingly impossible journey. Every life is precious. Let us subdue the ravages of the baser-self, and aspire to the higher calling of exalting joy through compassion, for that is the one true purpose of humanity. Please, join us now, and become that great calling.”
