Over 16 Thousand Signers. 100% Non-political & Bi-Partisan, 100% No Advertising, 100% Privately Funded, 100% Altruistic,
100% Non-religious, 100% Universal Appeal We Want Your Signature of Intent - The Pen IS Mightier than the Sword
MAKE TIME TO CARE. It only takes a second, and instantly converts your desire into action. It gives you a path of action, that if followed, will make a difference. Don't be the weak link, declare your intentions with us now, and be the difference!
"I was shocked to discover, that never before in the history of diplomacy and politics on Earth, had a document been brought before all nations to be signed, that simply stated we unequivocally desire world peace. I am not suggesting a document that has any specific actions or concessions, but just a simple statement of intention. This seemed to me like a catastrophic failure toward the goal of greater peace. Declaring our intentions for greater goodwill and peace IS the obvious first step toward attaining those goals. Every journey begins with the first step."
"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 that document 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. What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? I would raise awareness and champion the reality that greater goodwill and peace is not only possible, but impossible to stop, for 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. Every life is precious. Let us subdue the ravages of our baser-self, and aspire to the higher calling of exalting joy through compassion, for that is the one true purpose of humanity. Join us now, and become that great calling."
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do."
~ Edward Everett Hale

Why will this succeed?
The reason this will be successful is it has all of the elements something of this nature requires to be accepted:
First, it is SIMPLE The concept and message is simple enough for anyone to easily and instantly understand.
Secondly, it is SAFE It is harmless enough that people, even in positions of power, will not hesitate to acknowledge and participate.
Finally, it is EMPOWERING It is powerful enough to bring attention and awareness, and to effect real change through personal commitment, which will reach the collective mind.
Why a Goodwill Treaty?
First and foremost, a treaty is an agreement or pact between people, nations, or other sovereign bodies defining an agreement, convention, protocol, or arrangement in their mutual interest, and which must be executed in good faith. Many treaties establish terms of peace after a war or conflict. I believe humanity is at conflict and war with itself. Also, it has been proven through numerous psychological studies, that when a person signs their name it has profound weight and meaning effecting the signor. For these reasons we have chosen the format of a treaty. Our treaty is of course not legally binding according to international law. But, we hope for it to be the first privately written treaty to gain international appeal and acceptance.

Bibi McGill, Beyonce's Lead Guitarist, Signs Treaty and Becomes Goodwill Ambassador
“Beyonce, guitarist Bibi McGill, and bassist Divinity Roxx at the American Music Awards”
Bibi McGill is a world famous guitarist, actress, and model. Prior to her current gig rocking the stage as Beyonce's lead guitarist, she was touring with Pink, blazing the stages of London, Spain, Singapore, Germany, and Australia with her high-voltage licks and stage moves. She continued the tour onto high-profile TV shows, including Saturday Night Live, MTV's Total Request Live, the Billboard Music Awards, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Britain's Top of the Pops. She wailed into 2002 with Pink at the one and only Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve. Quickly on the heels of Pink's promo tour, Bibi took to the road once more, this time with "The Mexican Madonna" Paulina Rubio to play the opening slot for the Enrique Iglesias tour. She has scored principal roles in a half-dozen national commercials, including Motorola, Nike, and Heineken to name a few.
Bryant McGill reflects on Bibi's involvement. "When I think of Bibi McGill, at first she seems like a walking contradiction. She appears shocking, edgy, wild and over the top. Her performances are raw, explosive and catapult your senses into the stratosphere. She is bigger than life. She is a living cacophony of fashion, style and art; a motley pop-art, kaleidoscopic soul-diva. And yet, when you speak to Bibi, you do not find any discordance. She is solid, wise and grounded. There is a calmness, confidence and strength in her that can only come from true inner PEACE."
"She reminds me of the lotus bloom that sits on top of the water for all to see; radiant and resplendent to the senses, yet below the water line, unseen, the deep roots descend to a quiet still, and nurturing union with the source. She is in tune. As I think more about Bibi, I realize she is not a contradiction at all; she is simply not afraid to express her true self. Bibi is happy. She has joy and charity in her heart. She has developed the greatest talent anyone can possess; she lives life in humility. She has conquered herself and has emerged from her past experiences to a place where gratitude and love are her only masters. She is now ready to serve."
"Bibi has been in very worldly environments. She works in the highest levels of entertainment. She knows how the world works and has seen, and heard it all. But yet, after all the insanity and illusions the world could throw at her, she never allowed the world to beat her down, and convince her of the lie, that good things are not possible. She refused to become cynical. Cynicism is the only true enemy of peace. She understands that world peace begins with individuals who choose to have inner-peace, and that inner-peace is a choice away for anyone."
"No amount of money or fame was able to change Bibi from knowing that love is the only true healing power, and everything else in life is an illusion. I am so grateful for my friendship with Bibi, and I am blessed to stand with her as we stand together for PEACE. Peace comes in many forms and at many levels. In your relationships, homes, schools, workplace and even your nation, peace is desirable and attainable. 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."

Under the stewardship of Mr. Gardner and his team, the Gardner Law Group is trusted by some of the most prominent individuals and institutions in the world.
Bryant McGill commented, "I am so delighted that Goodwill Ambassador Bibi McGill was joined at the symbolic treaty table by Paul Gardner, Esq., in April of 2008. Paul's simple act of intention reflects what I suspect is his guiding and principle desire for the universal justice he fights for daily. Here is an example of a very 'successful' man, who has not been made cynical by the system; a man who dares to continue believing that good things are still possible in this world. I would like to personally commend Mr. Gardner for having the courage to stand forward and be counted among those who are willing to imbue a simple document with the unlimited power of meaning that can only come from the human heart and will.
It is truth that we do not have to be victimized by the ugliness in the world any longer. I refuse to accept that world. There is a new world waiting for us all, and it is being brought about by people like Paul. What have you done for peace lately? Peace is desirable at all levels, is it not? It is desirable in the world, in our country, in our cities, in our own homes, and even in our inner-selves. Peace is worth considering. Please join our self-expression of simple intention, and show the world your goodwill."

Susaye Greene, Former Supreme, Signs Treaty and becomes Goodwill Ambassador
Creation/Copyright by Susaye Greene
“Susaye and Freddi Poole at a Red Carpet Event”
Susaye's career started at an early age with babyfood commercials. While growing up in New York City as a teenager, she continued to do commercials and attended Professional Children's School. Later, she teamed up with Harry Belafonte and recorded his "Streets I Have Walked" album, and did several T.V. appearances with him. Susaye majored in drama at the High School of Performing Arts, made famous by the hit movie "Fame". While still very young, she travelled with musical genius Ray Charles, as a featured vocalist, and recorded as the original lead singer with New Birth, fronting their first million seller, "Until It's Time For You To Go", which still has a strong r&b and hip hop following today.
Susaye joined Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove, and began a long ongoing writing association with him. Together, they penned many tunes, including "I Can't Help It", which appeared on Michael Jackson's hit album "Off The Wall", which has been covered and sampled numerous times, as De La Sol's hit "Breakadawn", as Portrait's "Here We Go Again" which received a B.M.L Pop award for being one of the most performed songs of the year, and on Mary J.Blige's album, as "Sexy", and "All That I Can Say", as well as the rapper Fabolous" hit "Baby". Susaye co-wrote Deneice William's first million seller "Free", which has been recorded many times, as recently by Atlantic's Debelab Morgan, as "It's Real", by D.J. MIC Geronimo, and by Ice Cube as "The Freshest M.C. In The World" and LiL Kim.
Susaye was the last member of the Supremes, signed to Motown Records, with Mary Wilson and Scherrie Payne, travelling the world, doing live performances, major television shows and press events; she recorded the last two Supreme albums"High Energy" and "Mary Scherrie and Susaye". This group of Supremes became known as the most musical of all combinations of Supremes, scoring their last charted hit "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking." Susaye and Scherrie recorded an album, "Partners" on which they co-produced, arranged and wrote all the songs.
Bryant McGill's comments, "I am filled with deep gratitude that my friend Susaye has joined us, but I am not surprised. Susaye and I share a special connection of the soul. I have seen in Susaye a beautiful and radiant woman, who deeply loves life, and who through her immense heart relishes in the creation of beauty. Susaye has a special dignity and comportment about her person that lets you know you are in the presence of a kind and wise master."
"Susaye Green has been around in this old world, and yet still believes peace is worth considering. She has seen it all, but has not been sullied by the dark cynicism's in the world. She is still like a little child who knows kindness is good. Will you please lay down your cynicisms with me and Susaye, and gently surrender to indomitable powers of faith and compassion? A new world awaits us."
