It gave me chills just while reading it. Have confidence in yourself and keep writing, It's a self-expression, and you need to let it out in writing. Writing is an art and you have that talent. I'm sending a copy to all my friends. Peace be with you. Are you kidding me Fiaa, This is a beautiful poem. It gave me chills just while reading it.

Nothing happens overnight and it's a struggle to see humanity abused of thier rights and imprisoned, executed, rape , or tortured just because they want thier vote counted. It saddens me to see so much pain and deat of the innocent people. Remember, we all were created by the same being. Im so proud of you unscannable.

It makes me proud that many Iranians or Iranian-American or other nationalities to refrence our constitution. That's why here, In America, we don't play around with our constitution because we take that very seriously and will die for our constitution, never to be amended. Trust me, that constitution is what makes my country great. I hope one day, people that seek freedom, enjoy the same rights that i do. Keep the good work going. Peace As a proud, patriotic American.

That's why all you see on the news lately is Mical Jackson and i for one am sick of hearing the same thing over and over. There are innocent people being executed in Iran for nothing. Well don't give up and try to get as many people involve as possible. Happy fourth of July. Angie,

My God please make it stop. What good is power or money when your people are cannon fodder. Today I celebrate my countrys indipendence. But we aren't free. Americans are grilling hotdogs all over right now but there are so many countries out there that are doing horrible things for a few diamonds or some oil. Yeah I want to be rich and live a life of luxuray...but at the cost of what? Sophia I hope it works out ok. You're beautiful! My prayers are with all those that are being oppressed.

I think we should continue to hold campaigns for the oppressed on a global scale. Not necessarily balloons, and of course not necessarily green. Even when the people of Iran inevitably win their freedom, the world will still not be free of oppression. I’m not sure we should stop there, even if it is (hopefully!) over.

But sure, it's a good idea in case this drags on. Hopefully by Labor Day this will be over and the people of Iran will have their freedom! But sure, it’s a good idea in case this drags on.

Bastille day is next on July 14th. Do elaborate on your ideas though, balloons won't always be relevant or practical! Incidentally, we've started using the hashtag #gbcamp for all Green Balloon Campaign, please join us in that (was #gbc but it's populated by at least 2 or 3 other groups) :-) I think we may try continuing the Green Balloon Campaign on future days of revolution.

Perhaps do something a bit different than balloons, but something that will be noticeable by the media. Plus this gives us almost 2 months to plan. I would suggest repeating this on Labor Day in US.
