PRESS RELEASE April 21, 2005 By: National Organization, Iranian American Republican Council Contact: Mr. Shayan Samii Vice President, communications 310-261-9199 shayansamii@hotmail.com Subject: False claims by National Iranian American Council NIAC For too long, we observed patiently and watched small groups of sympathizersof the tyrants and terror masters in Tehran make their failed attempts to deceive the American people as well as U.S. lawmakers and policy makers in the name of the Iranian American community. NO LONGER! On April 20, 2005 the National Iranian American Council (NIAC)issued a news release entitled "Four out of five Iranian Americans oppose H.R. 282 / S333" The basis for thismisleadingannouncement, whichcame asa surprise to political and community groups in the Iranian American community, are faxes sent by some 500 visitors of NIAC's site, presumably their own sympathizers, after they read that organization's hostile and misleading editorial or so called analysis. NIAC claims to represent the views of all Iranian Americans. A baseless statement which could be used to mislead the legislators and the American public. On the basis of that data, the most NIAC can claim is that four out of five NIAC sympathizers oppose these bills. That would not be a surprise to anyone. It wont be a surprise because simply the position taken by NIAC is almost exactly the same as that announced by the spokesperson of the Foreign Affairs Ministry of the Islamic Republic in Iran. The overwhelming majority of Iranian Americansspoke clearly byshowing up at the polls , by voting for President Bush, and by organizing and attending rallies in major cities across the nation in support of the President and his policy of isolationofIran'stheocracy over policies of appeasement and settlement. Had the NIACs of this world wished to truly represent Iranian American community, they would have listened and adjusted their policies accordingly, but they chose not to because they choose to represent something other than the wishes of the majority of the Iranian Americans. The Iranian American Republican Council is urging all freedom loving Iranian Americans to write directly to their respective members of Congress expressing their support for HR282 (Iran Freedom Support Act) sponsored by Congresswoman Ilena Ros-Lehtinen and S333 in the Senate of the United States sponsored by Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. We also urge all freedom loving Iranian Americans who choose to stand with the oppressed people of Iran to write to NIAC and ask for this organizations immediate and clear retraction from false claims of representing the views of Iranian Americans.
