Congress Slashes and Reallocates Funding for Iran Pro Democracy Efforts

House Appropriations Committee of the US Congress: Press Release

Promotion of Democracy in Iran — The committee did not fund the $75 million requested by the Administration for the promotion of democracy in Iran because it was poorly justified. Instead, $56 million was provided through proven, existing programs that will have an immediate, positive impact on the fostering of democratic ideals in Iran.

We are concerned about the status of the Senate Bill 333. There appears to be no movement on the bill. Call your Senators and ask them to support the bill. We need action on it soon.
