I am writing you to ask if you can help spread the word about Globalfamily Day (one day of peace and sharing), celebrated every January 1st by the citizens of the world. It is a day where individuals and families share food with friends (especially the needy), make personal pledges of non-violence, and spread a message of peace and sharing by ringing a bells or beating a drum in hopes of making society and the world a safer place to live.
Globalfamily Day is an official international day of peace and sharing. The day was co-founded by Linda Grover and Congressman John Conyers (chief sponsor of the Martin Luther King holiday). Globalfamily Day has twice received the unanimous support of the U.S. Congress (S. Con. Res. 138, S. Res. 582, H. Con. Res. 317), the UN General Assembly (Resolutions 54/29 and 56/2), thirty-plus sitting heads of state and ambassadors representing more than 2/3 of the worlds population.
We have two brand new resolutions pending in the US Senate and House of Representatives (S. Res. 357 and H. Con. Res. 221) asking all Americans to observe Globalfamily Day on January 1, 2010 and asking President Obama to invite world leaders to celebrate Globalfamiy Day. These resolutions will be introduced in congress this week. We are holding a press conference on Capitol Hill on December 16th. We hope we can get President Obama to support our initiative and get him to use Globalfamily Day as one of his Nobel Laureate projects.
Would you or any of your friends and associates be interested in helping us spread the word about the importance of celebrating a day of peace? If you are interested and available, please let me know how I can reach you by telephone or email. Feel free to call or email me at any time. Thank you so much for your wonderful thoughs. I hope we can continue this conversation. Carpe diem!
Sincerely
Matthew Mullen, National Director
