FREE IRAN: The 1st Annual 'BLOG-IRAN!' Challenge!

If you are a blogger who supports the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom, then you've come to the right place. To participate in this challenge, which will run from June 5th - July 9th (18tir), all you need is a blog and the desire to unite with thousands of other bloggers from around the world, who all believe in the Iranian people's right to be free from the tyrannical hell that is currently imposed upon them.

Your objective, as a blogger, is to try and recruit as many fellow bloggers as you can, to join the 'BLOG-IRAN' Coalition. If you aren't currently a member of 'BLOG-IRAN', don't worry, you can join the coalition right now, and begin competing in this challenge immediately.

Recruit your friends, family or even your noisy nextdoor neighbors! As long as they blog and they support the Iranian people in their struggle, then they meet the requirements for 'BLOG-IRAN' membership and can begin competing in the challenge.

Every time a blogger you've referred joins the 'BLOG-IRAN' Coalition, you get 1 point. Throughout the challenge you will be able to view the current scores set by yourself and other bloggers. On July 9th, the competition will end, and the top 10 bloggers who have tallied the most recruits, and have recruited at least 5 bloggers, will receive 'GotAMullah' Coffee Mugs, 'Free Iran' Bumper Stickers and will be permanently placed at the top of the 'United Blogs Directory'!

On July 9th (18th of Tir), 1999, Islamic regime authorities in Iran stormed on Iranian students who were demonstrating for freedom. The mullah's mercenaries attacked and killed students in their dormitories, arrested and tortured thousands, and forced many Iranians to make false confessions, many of which were televised.

18 tir is now seen as a remembrance for all those Iranians who have been murdered by the Mullah's regime, as well as a moment of truth, year after year, when Iranians stand against a regime they despise. Unfortunately news regarding the Iranian people's struggle rarely makes the nightly news, and because of this, their cries and screams go unheard, and eventually, their courageous uprisings are snuffed out by the brute force of a regime that has speant years refining techniques for staying in power.

Due to the vital importance of freedom's victory in the Middle East, especially considering the willingness of 70 million Iranians to stand against a fanatical regime, we the people, as bloggers, as activists and as human beings, must vow to never again permit the voices of freedom to go unheard. If you believe that defending the Iranian people and supporting their will to be free is an important and just cause, then join the BLOG-IRAN Coalition, an unite in defense of liberty!

We are only one month away from 18tir, and if we all work together to spread awareness about this most vital issue, one that undoubtedly affects the security, stability, and evolution of mankind, then let us stand together with the Iranian people, and let the world witness the strength and influence of the blogging activist!
