The MPG party, active in promoting international sanctions against the current anti-Iranian clerical dictatorship in Iran, strongly believes that weakening the financial capabilities of the IRI is a key factor in leveling the field in favor of the democratic movement of the Iranian people. On the other hand, we need to remind the oppressed people of Iran that without a capable, strong and unified struggle for a secular and democratic alternative to the existing regime, in time, the IRI will overcome its difficulties and recover from its weakening and isolated position once again. Sanctions alone will not solve our problems. We should not give more time to the regime; we should use the current trend of international isolation to get rid of this murdering entity once and for all.

Key Senate Committee Passes Anderson’s bill to divest California from Iran
Unanimous Vote by Senate Judiciary Committee
Sacramento, CA – Last night, the California State Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed (5-0) Assemblyman Joel Anderson’s (R-El Cajon) Assembly Bill 221 to divest California’s public retirement funds from billions of dollars invested in key businesses that invest in Iran.
“Once again, I am excited that my colleagues in the State Senate have shown strong bi-partisan support and leadership for this legislation, which will end California taxpayer’s investment in key foreign companies that invest in the Islamic Republic of Iran,” said Anderson. The legislation has 34 bipartisan coauthors.
AB 221, which was unanimously approved by the California State Assembly 75-0 two weeks ago, next goes to the Senate Appropriations committee prior to being voted on by the full Senate.
This historic legislation is the first of its kind in America, and 10 other states have followed California’s lead.
Assemblyman Anderson’s legislation has garnered national and international media coverage. He’s been covered in over 200 articles in 13 countries for this historic legislation. Media outlets include the Time Magazine, New York Times, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, CNBC and CNN Headline News.
well. Anyone with little knowledge and common sence knows that 70 milion Iranians are in a big prision and their captures are the Islamist who in fact was supported by previous US admin in order to fight communism.
Thir ignoranse are pretty much similar to the person who made this graphics and those who repost it.
In the graphics there are no indication who the cockroaches are. It seems like they are representing the Iranians as the hole is placed on Iran.
If I were you I would pay more attention to details like that.
Might be good for Cali’s date and pistachio growers.
What is interesting is that 2/3 of the Iranians are under 30 and a lot of them are very westernized or want to be westernized. So it sounds like maybe the country is being run by an elderly minority?
No the country is run by Islamic theocracy!
Yu are right about the Iranians view on democracy and the west.
According to a poll majority of Iranians are aginst the regime and pro democratic.
