Are you ready to end 30 years of failed responses to Iran? Retweet 
More sanctions are being imposed on Iran — as if this has never been tried! But sanctions do nothing except harm regular people and move us closer to war. Obama’s sanctions doubled the number of Iranian families living in poverty.
Listen, this isn’t about whether or not Iran is run by good people! Whether you believe Iran is a threat or not, even if you wish to overthrow this theocratic, terrorist-backing regime, you have only one path that is assured of success…
Cultural Engagement causes positive regime change. Tyranny thrives in the dark. Exposure to other cultures unravels the fears and habits totalitarians require.
- Trade and travel increase wealth
- Increased wealth pushes tyrannized populations up the hierarchy of needs
- A little freedom leavens a desire for more
- These cultural factors are “weapons” for regime change.
Trade also fosters peace. Producers don’t kill their customers. Consumers don’t attack their providers. Trade is profitable. Conflict is costly. Our dollars and Euros and Yen act as junior diplomats!
Send your “representatives” a letter right now, before they make another mistake in dealing with Iran.
Demand cultural engagement instead of more schemes which “isolate” our respective peoples. We’ve made sending a letter easy. Use our words, or edit them into a masterpiece of your own.
Before you go…
The Downsize DC Army is continuing to grow. We’ve had some distractions, but our numbers have still increased by 46 so far this week. Welcome to all these new DC Downsizers!
You can help recruit even more people faster by starting a monthly pledge or making a one-time donation. Our current target for new monthly pledges is $101, and the goal for one-time donations is $1,225+ — both by Saturday, August 18.
Thank you for being an ACTIVE DC Downsizer,
