Petition To Nominate Michael Jackson For 2010 Nobel Peace Prize

Michael Jackson touch so many lives from 1yr olds to 80yr olds. He fought to heal humanity, and wanted to make this world more peaceful.  In his honor I believe he is a perfect candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.  It’s the right thing to do, especially being that the media is using modern day crucifixion by  tearing  his character down, and not cover the humane things he did for those in need.

Hello

i loved MJ's music.

But even without the other issues that would be raised, Michael does not merit this reward.

I nominated Judge Young, the Massachusett's Federal Judge that defied the power structure and came down on the side of absolute right in the bulger-flemmi murder case that the FBI tried to cover up.

All our real heros should be measured against that standard.

Respectfully,

Don Mashak

Excuse me, But Michael Jackson WAS a hero. If anyone deserves this award it's MICHAEL JACKSON. All he wanted was to HEAL THE WORLD. He had the biggest heart and the most beautiful personality. He got treated like crap by everyone because of the molestation charges. The charges ruined his life. They were false. And the kid just recently admitted to lying. Heck, the kid was asked to describe MJ's penis. He said it was "discolored and circumsized" when it was not discolored and it was uncircumsized. What does this tell you? Not to mention, this is coming from the guy who donated billions of dollars to charity, visited hospitals more than often to see children with cancer and take pictures or sign autographs, he only wanted to heal the world. If anyone deserves this, its michael jackson. Not

He made a huge change in this world. He was nominated as the most charitable celebrity, therefore, I think he deserves the prize, all he wanted to do was make a change...and he did. He was such a caring, giving, and amazing person. R.I.P. Michael Jackson!♥

Who the hack is judge Young? Never ever heard of him...

MJ 4ever!

 I love MJ. He was the best man in the entire world.

Spre deosebire de celelalte vedete, el a incercat intradevar sa schimbe lumea, dar nu a fost bagat in seama niciodata, chiar merita acest premiu, el este singurul care il merita.

A fost un artist complet! a fost un om bun si nu o fost niciodata apreciat asa cum merita.

I respect Michael because he, above all else , showed his love for ALL mankind, no matter their color. He wanted peace and happiness for all.  Thank you Michael for all that you did. Rest in peace in your angel wings. You will never be forgotten and will be loved forever

Michael Jackson will forever be remembered as king of pop and a great humanitarian. I can remember being very young and seeing my older sister doing the moonwalk and since then i have been a fan of MJ. You know that an artist is great when he as hits after hits and you know that someone has a good soul when they not only speak about making the world a better place but they put their words to action and Michael Jackson did it all and some.I nominate MJ for this award because he is truely a hero and he as touched the hearts of many through his songs because i really believe that there isn't a person out there who would listen to the lyrics of "man in the mirror"and don't feel like making themself better and on top of that he brought people from all different races and culture together.

My earliest memory of Michael Jackson was when I was four or five, and saw the video for "will you be there" at the end of "Free Willy" since then, I've loved his music, it wasn't until recently, however, that I realised how wonderful of a human being he was. I nominate Michael Jackson for this award, because I think that out of all of us, he deserves it the most, he helped millions - if not billions -  of people, through his charitys, through his music, through himself. He created a place for children to go and have the childhood he never had, he spent a year searching for a liver - or something, I'm not sure what exactly - to save a kid's life, and he brought millions of people together, so yes, he deserves this Award in my opinion...love y'MJ.

LOVEE MJJ 4EVER!!! YOU ALWAYS IN MY HEART! KING OF POP 4 EVER!! YOU ARE MY HERO!! OYU ARE MY ANGEL!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

  It is a fact, as per The Guiness Book of World Records, that Michael Jackson made more $ charitable contributions than any other artist/parformer in history. Not to mention he danced & sang his words of compassion, astoundingly. Meanwhile, throughout his career, he visited countless children in hospitals & orphages, raiseed millions to fight famine in Africa, visited our Veterans & so much more. Peoples need to free their hypocracy and doubts by facing the facts about looming allegations. Meanwhile, our government need honor it's own justice system regarding this issue. Also, how he died does not change all he did and what he stood for and this should not mar his this nomination. Michael, true humanitarian, deserves respect.  May his integrity be uplifted and his spirit enlightened . . . . . . .

There are so many People that should bekome this award...Michael Jackson is one of them!!!!

And I nominate Him .For every tear he has dropt because of Children...Love you MJ ,wish you were here   <3

Interesting Petition. I think it should be taken into consideration.

His impact was and still is remarkable and with Songs and videos such as "they do not care about us" or his environment Videos he certainly made a greater impact then the UN or David Suzuki could. Even Al Gore would like to have MJ his power to move people and get a message across. Maybe they should have teamed up and should have been less arrogant or snobbish and their message would have been heard sooner.

I think MJ should be considered for the Noble Peace Prize and this seriously.
