THE PETITION

Pete Seeger has been an ambassador for Peace and Social Justice over the course of his lifetime. As a cultural worker his, music, songs, ideals, and heavy performance schedule have worked to engage other people, particularly the youth, in causes to end the Vietnam war, ban nuclear weapons, work for international solidarity, and ecological responsibility. It is time that a cultural worker receives the recognition that this work has great influence and global reach, that music is not only a medium of entertainment but of education, compassion and action. Pete was 91 years old on May 3, 2010, and is still singing. He was nominated by Barbara Lee, Rep. from CA, in 2009, but the nomination must be submitted every year to be considered, we urge you to keep trying to get another nomination as long as Pete is alive."
