News in brief

VWP President Jim Stark resigns

After six years of work, Vote World Parliament President Jim Stark has
resigned. He will remain on the Board of VWP as Founder, and he will
do whatever he can to assist those who will assume the leadership of
the NGO. Here is Jim’s resignation, issued on June 29, 2010:

For personal, financial and health reasons, I am now stepping aside
from the presidency of Vote World Parliament. I still believe strongly
in the concept of a global referendum on the creation of a democratic
world parliament, and I hope to see the day when such an effort is
succeeding. In the meantime, Ted Stalets (currently vice president)
and Bob French (currently CEO) have agreed to serve as Co-Presidents.
And if there are others who wish to play some more prominent
leadership role in VWP, they need only announce their intentions, and
I know Ted and Bob will welcome their offers. I thank all members of
the Executive Committee, all members of the NGO and all those who
voted “yes” for their support. I will always treasure the memories I
have of getting this NGO off the drawing board and into action. I
personally regret there wasn’t more success during my time as
President. However, I have enormous respect and affection for both Ted
and Bob, and hopefully this new leadership team will improve our NGO’s
performance and prospects.



Message from Ted Stalets, now VWP Co-President

Our initiative’s biggest challenge is to continue to secure more and
more votes at the VoteWorldParliament.org website. This is a task we
all share, and it deserves our constant support with ideas and efforts
to achieve our goal of hundreds of thousands, and then millions of
votes in the global referendum. We seek a grassroots effort for the
referendum to goes viral. We seek peace. We seek equality. We seek a
harmonious relationship with Mother Earth. We seek to reform or
replace the current structure of the United Nations with a truly
democratic organization.

We know in our hearts that democracy is the best political system
available to address all our supranational threats, challenges and
opportunities. Cognizant of the important principles of equality,
transparency and subsidiarity, we have the perfect roadmap in Rescue
Plan for Planet Earth. Now is a good time to pull that book off the
shelf and give it a re-read. Need another copy? You can order it at
http://voteworldparliament.org/about/books.

Bob, Jim and I pledge to always stay true to the VWP mission as
outlined in Jim’s book. Visit the book’s website at http://RescuePlanforPlanetEarth.com
and you’ll see the website title as “The World’s Most Necessary Book.”
Let’s all make our everyday life and purpose commensurate with this
bold statement.



Message from Bob French, now VWP Co-President

My thanks to Jim Stark for his passionate pursuit of global harmony
via democratic global governance. It is obvious to me that global
order is long overdue. Nation-states must devote most if not all of
their resources to ensure the wellbeing of the constituents they
serve. Our challenge is to mobilize civil society to address those
planetary issues not being addressed satisfactorily by nation-states
for the benefit of future generations. Rising beyond our national and
cultural differences to pursue what is best for humanity is the
challenge we in VWP accept. Please join Ted and myself to build a
consensus amongst mundialists on a “Rescue Plan” for planet earth. We
are looking for ideas from all participants as how best to unite our
efforts to move forward in a timely manner to serve all humanity
through democratic leadership. Let’s show that a global referendum
will allow us to rise above our differences to do what is needed to
ensure a healthy, sustainable life for future generations.
