Dewey, otherwise known by his whole name as George-Luis Dewey, ran for District 2 U.S. Representative (Congress) as a Green party member running as a Write-In Candidate in New Mexico in the 2002 General Election. He publishes an internet e-magazine of Integral and Sustainable Political Values called www.libertysteward.com. Although it was his first political endeavor he was the only candidate in the General Election from New Mexico to fill out and answer all the questions in the Project Vote Smart's Candidate Survey during that election cycle. George-Luis Dewey was born in Lima, Peru in South American of American parents on February 13, 1947. He graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Area Studies and Public Affairs in 1969.

He was an activist and campus leader against the War in Vietnam and was instrumental in organizing a large march in Orlando, Florida as well as authoring a petition to then President Lyndon Johnson and the United Nations for the Individuals Against the Crime of Silence. He was also right in the front lines of the March on the Pentagon in Washington DC in 1968. As a civil rights advocate. a pacifist and conscientious objector he took a moral stand early on against the military industrial complex and it's manipulation of the public trust to foment and conduct wars outside the purview of Congressional authority.

The Dewey family first came to the North American continent in 1633 on his father's side and 1641 on his mother's side of the family and as such he has a strong sense of his heritage and the priveledge and honor of being an American citizen committed to the principles of freedom and democracy as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These core values of our great republic and the appreciation of our freedoms and liberties gleaned from over twenty years as an expatriate in Latin America are the drivers behind his political and intellectual endeavors. He has been an active Green Party member in Socorro County New Mexico and currently resides near the little village of Veguita in the lower Rio Grande area.
