Don't celebrate the election of an Iranian president approved by the theocracy.

The election was not free, since candidates were limited by the theocratic regime. The new president is not to be celebrated, as he will not give human rights Iranians. However, he might be open to a reasonable settlement on the uranium refining dispute, and the US should be ready to make one.

In order to do this, the US will have to defy the Israeli hawks' lobby, that want conflict between the US and Iran regardless of the pretext.

US citizens: support reinstitution of the Glass Steagall Act to separate banking from investment gambling.

US citizens: call for serious negotiation with Iran about uranium enrichment.

Everyone: urge the mayor of Washington DC to stand firm against Walmart bullying and sign the living wage law.

Any community is better off without a Walmart store. Walmart systematically pushes down wages.
