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.
