“…The US allegation is, obviously, a politically-motivated move and a showcase of its long-standing animosity towards the Iranian nation. The Islamic Republic of Iran categorically and in the strongest terms condemns this shameful allegation by the United States authorities and deplores it as a well-thought evil plot in line with their anti-Iranian policy to divert attention from the current economic and social problems at home and the popular revolutions and protests against United States long supported dictatorial regimes abroad…” — Mr. Mohammad Khazaee, Iranian Ambassador, Permanent Representative

Excerpt from solidarity statement:

On October 15th in Zeidler Park and beyond, Voces will stand with Occupy Milwaukee, Occupy Madison, and others who are also suffering in this economy, to spread the message that Wall Street, banks, and multi-national corporations must be held responsible for record poverty and unemployment.

We demand no cuts or layoffs to the public sector, a massive job creation program on the scale of the New Deal, humane immigration reform, and the saving of families from foreclosures.

And October 2011 Issue of Voces newspaper: http://www.vdlf.org/userimages/pdfs/2011-10-newspaper.pdf
