Homa Pourasgari

Here are a few organizations among many that Homa Pourasgari supports:

Pen American Center – defender of freedom of expression and an international literary organization. They publicize banned books, defend authors' rights and promote public literary programs. Homa  believes this is a great organization because they stand up for writers all over the world who risk their lives and speak the truth. It is interesting to note that in September 2004, several groups along with Pen and Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian human rights activist, filed a law suit against the U.S treasury department in Federal court in New York. The Treasury Department’s office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) was prohibiting American publishers to publish new works of authors from countries such as Iran, Cuba and Sudan due to trade embargo. Publishing houses were warned that they could be fined $1 million and individual violators faced up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Read more… 

Center for Food Safety and Organic Consumers Association  – Homa joined these organization because she wanted to stay informed about genetically modified foods and cloned meats. Unfortunately, the USDA and FDA no longer represent the needs of the American population. More than 150,000 Americans asked for food labeling on cloned meat but the FDA has so far refused. Americans want genetically modified foods labeled and yet GMO sugar will soon hit the American Supermarkets without labels. If you want to find out more about what you are eating and the harmful effects of GMOs, cloned meats and the Bovine growth hormone in milk, you may want to consider joining these two organizations.

Campaign For Liberty – Started by Ron Paul, the campaign’s purpose is to protect the American constitution. Americans are losing their government to Powerful special interest groups represented by unscrupulous lobbyists. If you are tired of the War in Iraq, the torture of prisoners, wire tapping, high oil prices, the collapse of the U.S. economy, the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, off shore drilling, the high cost of health insurance and drugs, the housing crisis, the hunger crisis, the increase in food prices, unemployment and the disappearance of the U.S. constitution, you may want to read Ron Paul’s book: The Revolution : A manifesto or listen to what he has to say and then consider joining his campaign.
