'Iran Liberty Walk' sets 209-mile route
WorldNetDaily ^ | April 29, 2004 | WorldNetDaily

Organizers of the "Iran Liberty Walk" to promote peaceful, democratic change in Tehran announced today the 209-mile route that will take hundreds of Americans, including lawmakers, through towns and cities between Philadelphia and the nation's capital.

The two-week event, led by Jerome Corsi, founder of the Iran Freedom Foundation, will begin May 16 at the Liberty Bell and culminate with a large demonstration on the Capitol Mall.

Corsi, author of the newly released "Atomic Iran," said reports from the walk will be broadcast to Iran via radio, television and the Internet, including live interviews with participants such as Rep. Peter King, R-Iowa.

Along with sending a signal for peaceful change, the IFF is calling for civil disobedience from Iranian citizens.

Corsi and the IFF urge Iranians to flood the streets June 17, the date of the presidential vote, and vote "no" in the "sham elections the mullahs are planning."

Along the way, Corsi plans to talk to Americans at churches, town halls, schools and other civic centers about life in Iran.

With many Iranians able to follow the event through foreign broadcasts, he hopes to provide them with "some background about the real America, not the fiction trumped up by the Islamic Republic's propaganda machine."

Corsi many native Iranians from across the nation will participate.

"The purpose is to show solidarity with the Iranian people, the vast majority of whom -- as many as 90 percent or higher -- want the regime out," he said.

The event will be filmed by Timothy Watkins, producer of the documentary film "In the Face of Evil," which recounts the courage of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II and their resolve to stand up to communism.

The planned route is as follows:

STAGE ONE: Philadelphia to Lancaster, Pa. (76 miles)

STAGE TWO: Lancaster, Pa., to York, Pa. (28 miles)

STAGE THREE: York, Pa., to Baltimore, Md. (62 miles)

STAGE FOUR: Baltimore, Md., to Washington, D.C. (43 miles)

Will not be able to participate in the whole march, but will be there to start off from Liberty Bell. I'll bring shoes, and if you are willing to barter a copy of Atomic Iran, I'll exchange it for a copy of my book. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Keep pushing to free Iran. We must keep trying to get the world to see how vital a free Iran is. These Oppressive Regimes must be taken down - for Human Rights and religious, personal freedoms to thrive. Azadi Iran.
