Iran Freedom Movement 2007

"This is a critical moment in the history of our homeland.The Iran of old was a nation at peace with its neighbors and respected within the International community. Our economy was among the strongest in the region, and our people were prospering.But twenty-six years ago, a CATASTROPHE descended upon our homeland and reversed decades of progress.Today, Iran has fallen into the abyss of: international isolation, an extremist government, high inflation, huge unemployment, and rampant corruption. The clerical regime brutally suppresses the fundamental human rights within Iran and is the leading exporter of hate and terror beyond its borders.Today, however, the time has come to write a new chapter in the history of our country.Our goal is simple, achievable and straightforward. We envision an Iran: wherein its prosperous economy gives every Iranian an equal chance for hope and opportunity; An Iran where its women fully participate in the political, socio-economic and cultural life of their homeland; An Iran where its press is free from intimidation, harassment, imprisonment and torture; This vision includes a progressive, civil and stable society in which the separation of Religion and State is recognized. Finally, the Iran of tomorrow ought to have a foreign policy based on principles of harmony and mutual respect.To get there however, Iranians seek a political system in which participation in free and fair elections are guaranteed for all freedom-loving individuals and political ideologies.We have called for unity among all groups dedicated to a democratic agenda and outcome to work together for a common cause - the establishment of a democratic and secular government. We intend to lead this movement culminating in a national referendum, beyond this system, and with international supervision, as a means to guarantee freedom and self-determination for the people of Iran.We are confident that momentum is building and we are certain that the world will witness a dramatic political evolution in our homeland. It is our hope that Iranians will benefit from all the moral support the world community of nations can demonstrate for our quest for liberty."We must act accordingly as time is running out....
