U.S. Congress - Rep. Eleanor Norton, District of Columbia (D)

Re: H.R. 5056
It is important to have diplomatic relations with Iran but the persecution of the Bahá’ís needs to addressed up front and resolved. Iran is practicing segregation or apartheid but unlike most forms of segregation or apartheid the Bahá’ís don’t just have unequal rights they don’t have any rights at all.

Here is a quote from the attached linked article.

“While the Baha’i faith, founded on notions of equality and humanitarianism, originated in what would become the Islamic Republic of Iran, members of the religious community have faced persecution since the republic’s establishment under the Islamic constitution of 1979.
According to the Iranian government, the Baha’i population represents a political sect, not a religious community, and is consequently regarded as apostate. Although the rights of certain minority groups, such as Christians and Zoroastrians, are explicitly protected under the constitution of the Islamic republic, the Baha’i population, estimated by the U.S. Department of State to be approximately 300,000-350,000 of the majority Muslim population, enjoys no rights.
The unprotected status of the Bahá’ís facilitates discrimination without justification within the Iranian legal system. Courts in Iran have denied Bahá’ís the right of redress or protection against assault, killings, or other forms of persecution. These courts have established that Iranian citizens who kill or injure Bahá’ís are not liable for damages because their victims are “unprotected infidels”

You sounded more racist than what you accused Ferro of.

Sounded like you are a snake oil saleperson!

It is obvious from your tone that you have a personal stake in the selection of Barak Obama as the nominee.

The fact that you accepted an invitation to speak on the day that a contoversial remark was made is proof positive that you regard race as THE important factor in this selection process.

If you let the chips fall where they ‘may’, you might have not looked like an idiot.

get a job, quit living off the govmint,shoot,i did it, aint hard. born poor white trash and never got a grant or loan from govmint. put myself thru school working part time and part time school. didnt need hud or food stamps or wic or my auntie, then again i stayed out of jail and did not breed. this freed up my time for studies and the ladies. got a job makin 75k annually and got out of the urban, toxic, poisonous, ghetto into the country. point is-i am not a brain surgeon nor a liberal and if i can do it then anybody can so quit bitchin.

what are you doing about H.R.2811?

Because It is overly simplistic and politically driven. It is poorly thought out and sacrifices good science for political expediency. The negative economic impact for my family and business would be significant. Please oppose HR2811. Thank you for your consideration. and if it passes then i lose my job,, and if i lose my job then how am i to feed my family,,, think about all the people you will be putting out of jobs,,, and it just wont be here in the us its self but all over the world…. think about it please dont let this pass..

thank you and god bless
