He also expressed his support for Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s ten-point plan for the future of Iran.<\/p>\n<p>According to Senator Joseph Lieberman, the regime in Iran is decaying and the Iranian people are courageous in their protests against the regime. He claimed that the U.S. sanctions helped spread the decay, and called for support for the NCRI. The prominent senator said that the NCRI, led by Mrs. Rajavi, is ready to replace the regime, and her ten-point plan is a platform that deserves support.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Bloomfield related the way he got acquainted with the PMOI\/MEK and called for anti-espionage investigations against the regime and its activities in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Ridge told the attendees why he supports the NCRI and PMOI\/MEK, and highlighted the characteristics of the religious fascism ruling Iran. \u201cWe have decided to do whatever we can to publicly support Mrs. Rajavi and the NCRI,\u201d he said \u2014 adding that change will come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;Mohammad Sadat Khansari In a session held at the U.S. Senate John F.
