Washington Times: Targeting the repressive methods of what one senator called a "cruel regime," the U.S. Senate has authorized up to $50 million to help Iranians evade their government's attempts to censor the Internet and to pressure foreign corporations not to help Iran clamp down on communication.

Our people need help
by Rebecca on Tue Jul 28, 2009 09:12 AM PDTIt doesn't matter who is sponsoring this bill and who is caring for whom. The mullah regime certainly doesn't care about the people either.
Right now, Iranians need any help they can get. We shouldn't let this brutal mullahs win!
Thank you, Senator McCain!

And as I had said then, look who's "sponsoring" the VOICE bill! Lieberman, a notorious Israel-firster and the "bomb, bomb Iran" crazy ass McCain. If you think these characters care about the Iranian people, I have a ski chalet with a view of the snow covered mountains north of Baghdad to sell you.
