Expressing support for the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran

Condemns the regime's terrorism and human rights abuses, cites support for the ten-point plan of Maryam Rajavi, leader of the MEK-linked National Council of Resistance of Iran, and says Iranians 'rejected monarchic dictatorship'.

Bill sponsorship. The text endorses the ten-point plan of Maryam Rajavi, who leads the political arm of the MEK, one exile group, and declares on behalf of Iranians which system they reject. Standing with a free people means letting Iranians choose their own government in a free vote, not choosing it for them. So signing it counts against.
