Hi, everyone. Due to unpredictable personal events that also kept me from updating last night also affected my plans. I was no able to attend the protest today, and I'm very disappointed I could not stand with all of you and support you, I really would have loved to be there, I'm sorry.
I can't believe it's already been a year since the day so many of you realized you've been cheated. It's more than a slap to the face, I know. It's more of a stab in the back. All of you in Iran should have gotten the candidate you voted for. No one's vote should ever be stolen, I can't imagine how anyone could sink so low. And they sank lower when they began attacking you for simply wanting a fair election.
For me, it was one small moment of curiosity that lead me to supporting all of you however I could. Those of you in Iran have truly inspired me, and I'm very happy to have been supporting you, even if I'm probably not as helpful as I'd like to be. A year later, you're all just as strong as you were a year ago. Don't ever give up this fight. Too many lives have been lost, and many more are being placed in the most unspeakable conditions in prison. This regime has had its way far too long, and it's time for them to go. Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, and all of those involved in violating your rights will face justice someday for the atrocities being committed in their name.
I will continue to hope and support all of you. Stay strong, stay peaceful and be safe! V
