Washington, DC - The National Iranian American Council welcomes today’s introduction of the Stand with the Iranian People Act in the House of Representatives, and applauds the bill’s sponsors Representatives Keith Ellison (D-MN) and William Delahunt (D-MA). As policy makers evaluate how best to resolve the nuclear issue and change the Iranian government’s behavior, it is imperative that the Iranian people not get lost in the debate.
Also introduced today was H.R. 4301, the Iranian Digital Empowerment Act, by Representatives Jim Moran (D-VA), Bill Delahunt (D-MA), and Bob Inglis (R-SC). This vital legislation will ensure that the Iranian people are not denied access to necessary tools for bypassing government spying efforts and communicating with each other and the outside world as they continue to make their voices heard.

Dear NIAC staff
by Patriot on Tue Dec 15, 2009 09:12 AM PSTI have brought this up before and I do it here again. You seem to care enough about Iranian.com to have registered again and to now routinely post your news items and blogs. Won't you consider joining the discussions directly, instead of letting some site users with poor reputations to be your defenders on every single item related to NIAC? I feel it is not in NIAC's best interest to seem to be 'represented' by some of the most disliked and distrusted members of Iranian.com. Come out and do your own bidding. You do have more supporters than it seems.
For all it's worth, I think when users who are considered IRI and Ahmadinejad supporters on Iranian.com come to support NIAC, the unfair allegations against NIAC are perpetuated.
