FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 24, 2012 Contact: Nathan Carleton, press@uani.com  Phone: (212) 554-3296         UANI Releases Photos from Today's Demonstration, Announces UANI Truck UANI Truck: "GET OUT OF N.Y.: GET OUT OF THE UN: VISIT UANI.COM" New York, NY - On Monday, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) released photos from its demonstration at the Warwick today, and announced a UANI truck that is now driving around the Warwick. UANI's protests were covered today by CNN. Today's protest featured UANI signs and activities, including an Ahmadinejad punching bag and a wooden Ahmadinejad for pedestrians to take pictures with while wearing an "I'M WITH STUPID" shirt. A UANI truck is driving around the Warwick this week, and will be near the United Nations on Wednesday. The truck contrasts the ideals of the UN with Ahmadinejad's record, and reads: "GET OUT OF N.Y.: GET OUT OF THE UN: VISIT UANI.COM" Said UANI Executive Director, David Ibsen: We thank all of our supporters who joined us today to protest both Ahmadinejad and the Warwick. Our voices were heard, and will continue to be heard all week. Ahmadinejad has created a security headache in this city, and the Warwick should be ashamed of itself for hosting an individual who calls 9/11 a "big lie" and leads a regime that has killed hundreds of American troops and sponsors terrorism worldwide. Recently, UANI announced the launch of a Times Square billboard and bicycle billboards at the Warwick. UANI supporters are also passing out thousands of hand cards outside the Warwick reading "BOYCOTT THE WARWICK." UANI's campaign has been covered by CNN, Associated Press, PIX 11 News, Fox 5 News,CBS 880 Radio, Agence France Presse, 1010 WINS Radio, and the New York Post (here, here, here).

The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran should concern every American and be unacceptable to the community of nations. Since 1979 the Iranian regime, most recently under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's leadership, has demonstrated increasingly threatening behavior and rhetoric toward the US and the West. Iran continues to defy the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Nations in their attempts to monitor its nuclear activities. A number of Arab states have warned that Iran's development of nuclear weapons poses a threat to Middle East stability and could provoke a regional nuclear arms race. In short, the prospect of a nuclear armed Iran is a danger to world peace. United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a non-partisan, broad-based coalition that is united in a commitment to prevent Iran from fulfilling its ambition to become a regional super-power possessing nuclear weapons.  UANI is an issue-based coalition in which each coalition member will have its own interests as well as the collective goal of advancing an Iran free of nuclear weapons. The Objectives of United Against a Nuclear Iran Inform the public about the nature of the Iranian regime, including its desire and intent to possess nuclear weapons, as well as Iran's role as a state sponsor of global terrorism, and a major violator of human rights at home and abroad; Heighten awareness nationally and internationally about the danger that a nuclear armed Iran poses to the region and the world; Mobilize public support, utilize media outreach, and persuade our elected leaders to voice a robust and united American opposition to a nuclear Iran; Lay the groundwork for effective US policies in coordination with European and other allies; Persuade the regime in Tehran to desist from its quest for nuclear weapons, while striving not to punish the Iranian people, and; Promote efforts that focus on vigorous national and international, social, economic, political and diplomatic measures. UANI is led by an advisory board of outstanding national figures representing all sectors of our country.
