Family Security Matters » Publications » Empowering Iranians to Dislodge the Mullahs: "After the fraudulent June 12, 2009, Presidential elections in Iran, Iranians poured into the streets by the millions, chanting 'Where is my vote?' The thunderous protests were the birth pangs of the Green Movement. That was six months ago and the movement has rapidly evolved into a massive force aiming to sweep aside the current regime. Street slogans have changed from “where is my vote?” to “death to the dictator,” in direct reference to Ahmadinejad and the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

Longstanding slogans, vilifying the U.S. and Israel, have been drowned out by slogans against the supporters of the Islamic regime, such as Russia and China. The brutal Ahmadinejad-Khamenei gang has its back against the wall. Every major Iranian city, its universities and many workplaces are festooned with graffiti against the leaders of the regime. The supreme leader, previously presumed above the law of the land, is now loudly proclaimed by the masses as a murderer who has lost the legitimacy of his office. In fact, the very office of the Supreme Guide and the Islamic Republic is soundly rejected by the masses clamoring for an Iranian Republic to replace the Islamic Republic."
