DESCRIPTION:The Iranian Revolution of 1979 stopped short of establishing a democratic 
 government. But today, after enduring more than three decades of renewed 
 repression, Iranians are protesting once again to complete a mission that 
 was left unfinished.\n\nThirty-one years ago, Iranian people poured into 
 the streets demanding their basic rights and asking for the end of 
 totalitarianism and tyranny. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 stopped short 
 of establishing a democratic government. But today, after enduring more 
 than three decades of renewed repression, Iranians are protesting once 
 again to complete a mission that was left unfinished.\n\nNewer tyrants, and 
 more blood-thirsty murderers, have taken charge of Iranian government, and 
 are ruining the old and proud country. The Iranian people, men and women, 
 young and old, are challenging the regime in order to reclaim their country 
 and their freedom. The struggle has forced our people, young and old, to 
 stand up against a brutal force, losing hundreds of lives in quest of 
 democracy.\n\nTheir demands are simple. They have sacrificed their lives in 
 order to gain what they had longed for decades: basic human rights, 
 independence, freedom, and a democratic government. From the grounds of 
 Iranian universities, to the rooftops and balconies of Iranian homes, 
 people’s cries of freedom are shaking the foundations of the theocratic 
 establishment. Their call for “freedom” is spreading all over the 
 country like a rapid fire. They are shouting that time of petite dictators 
 is over, and that they prefer secular governments to tyrannical ones.\n\nWe 
 are inviting you to join us in a rally on February 6, 2010 to declare our 
 unity and our support for these brave people and their struggles. We are 
 not going to watch silently as our brothers and sisters lose their life and 
 endure imprisonment, torture, rape, and violent death, just for peacefully 
 asking for their basic constitutional, civil, and human rights. We are here 
 to let the world know about the brutality of this atrocious and 
 illegitimate government, and to reflect of the voices of people’s demands 
 for freedom and peace to the whole world. Let us hope that our tears, 
 blood, and cries would win over the tyranny and help bring it down.\n
