| Listen Up Government of Iran: My Mom Has A Message For You! |
|
|
 People who live more than eight decades have usually acquired some wisdom - simple wisdom that comes from personal experience.My mom Patti is no exception. She turns 81 in a few weeks. Although her memory isn’t what it used to be, her heart knows what’s right, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind. She and I had a conversation about Iran tonight. I asked her a few questions. Her thoughtful answers made a whole lot of sense. Here’s what she said: Related links: Amnesty International My Mom Thinks It's Unfair. What Do You Think?

Heartfelt message that I'm afraid will fall on deaf ears. Not everyone who walks on two is human. Still, it's good to be reminded of how it can feel to be one. So, please thank your mom for all of us.

Many voices speaking together eventually create a roar. Each voice plays a part. Never give up hope of being heard

The frightening thought ~ the government in Iran do not care about human life and will not think twice about shooting everyone who defies them, similar to China shooting the students.
May God bless and keep them safe as they go into this protest. report abuse
