Chicago's Iranian community is planning a protest for later this week in downtown. They are upset about the controversial elections in Iran between incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his rival Hossein Mousavi. Many in the country believe their vote was switched, not counted after Ahmadinejad claimed victory by a huge margin. Mousavi, who was gaining support by the millions, believes there was fraud and is appealing the otucome. The Iran House of Greater Chicago says it doesn't necessarily care about the outcome, but just wants to make sure everyone's vote was properly accounted for Friday. Many believe a change at power could mean a change in foreign policy, helping ease tension in the Middle East for the United States. Are you paying attention to this election? Are you aware of what these so-called attacks on democracy mean for us? Just because it's nowhere near where you live, doesn't mean it won't have consequences back home. If democracy is truly threatened, it's a fight everyone should be behind.
