Protesting is hard work.

but also lessons from the past. as the writer states, 'i do not believe that this is a revolution, however. people have seen what that brings.'

Have your kids sign it, add their school picture, and post it on your refrigerator door (hence, the name).

Or send it to anyone you wish, anywhere.

Salon needs to do more on Iran. I find myself skipping Salon these days and going to the Huffington Post.

Because Obama is really 'cotton' with the the big boy Muslims of Iran who want to drop bombs on Israel and us....No one who deserves America's help is going to get any.

I forgot that Europe is a Muslim block now. THey gave their culture all away.
