Yes... Wikipedia is wonderful, and someone who edited the page for
Kathy Kelly mentions:<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Nomination by 1976 Nobel laureate Mairead Maguire for the 2002 Nobel
Peace Prize.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Kelly#cite_note-30"><span>[</span>31<span>]</span></a></sup><br>
The citation is to a newsletter of the Society of American
Archivists (cheers for archivists!),<br>
reporting that Marquette University had in 2007 acquired the
records of Voices in the Wilderness.<br>
The mention that Kelly had been nominated by Maguire, and by
two other (unnamed) people,<br>
is said to have appeared in Kelly's personal papers.<br>
<br>
The wikipedia page also refers to a 2003 Yahoo.com news article,<br>
<a
href="http://www.stopcapitalpunishment.org/coverage/151.html">http://www.stopcapitalpunishment.org/coverage/151.html</a><br>
which describes the conditions for nomination, mentions that the
nominators<br>
don't have to remain silent even though the committee does, and
mentions<br>
Kelly's name as an "unconfirmed" nominee.<br>
<br>
Presumably a skeptic could go to Marquette and find the original.<br>
<br>
But, why? Do you want Kathy Kelly's birth certificate, too?
Haven't we better things to question than this?<br>
<br>
<br>
Here's one. Today Democracy Now interviewed a Norwegian man in
Minneapolis whose granddaughter survived Anders Brevik's attack.
Asked what he thought of Breivik, of the trial, etc., he had a
lovely meta-response. He pointed out that media descriptions of
Breivik focused on his psychology, when he did and didn't weep, and
so on.<br>
<br>
But, said the man, he saw another parallel which "made him unpopular
in Norway": that the same state of mind that led Breivik, the mass
murderer, to kill Muslims in Norway, also led the Norwegian
government to kill civilians in Afghanistan under the NATO
occupation.<br>
<br>
That's the kind of parallel that Kelly would see, too. But how many
times have you heard such a connection made with respect to this
tragedy? I haven't. Amy Goodman didn't seem to have, either -- it
put her off her stride.<br>
<a href="http://www.stopcapitalpunishment.org/coverage/151.html"></a><br>
I think that's a 'way better question.<br>

<pre wrap="">Roger,
That is an interesting question. I have often seen the claim that
so-and-so has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Besides the Nobel Committee, I suppose the people who nominate a
person would know.
So, I went looking to see who can nominate people and I found this
interesting bit of information:
Qualified Nominators
The right to submit proposals for the Nobel Peace Prize shall, by
statute, be enjoyed by:
1. Members of national assemblies and governments of states;
2. Members of international courts;
3. University rectors; professors of social sciences, history,
philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes
and foreign policy institutes;
4. Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
5. Board members of organizations who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
6. Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee;
(proposals by members of the Committee to be submitted no later than
at the first meeting of the Committee after February 1) and
7. Former advisers appointed by the Norwegian Nobel Institute.
The Nobel Peace Prize may also be awarded to institutions and associations.
It does not answer your question, but at least we know who besides the
committee might know -- if they nominated someone.

<pre wrap="">and how do you know that this woman has been nominated for the Nobel Peace
Prize - this can not be verified since the nominations are sealed for 50
years. That kind of means that anyone can make this claim and no one can
ever prove or disprove it. Does anyone reading this have a) copy of the
nominations and b) proof of receipt by the Nobel Committee?
