RAN PLEDGE OF RESISTANCE. Sign onto the Iran Pledge of Resistance at http://www.iranpledge.org/2012/03/26/sign-the-pledge/. The pledge says:
If the United States applies increased sanctions, invades, bombs, sends combat troops or drones, or otherwise significantly escalates its intervention in Iran or the region directly or through support of its allies, I pledge to join with others to engage in acts of legal protest and/or nonviolent civil disobedience to prevent or halt the death and destruction which U.S. military actions would cause to the people of Iran, the Middle East, our communities at home, and the planet itself. Please forward the pledge on to others.
