Iranian Threat Campaign
The foundation's Iranian Threat Campaign called upon the Free World to defend itself against the escalating danger to democracy, freedom, and human rights posed by the "radical regime" ruling Iran.
The foundation says that this campaign raised global awareness of the threat from Iran and its terrorist proxies through more than 300 broadcast interviews of foundation staff in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East; nearly 100 newspaper and policy journal articles written by foundation staff; briefings to scores of policymakers in Washington and European capitals; 20 foundation publications; and polls the foundation released.
On college campuses, it sponsored speaking tours for Iranian dissident student leaders. In cooperation with the foundation's Arab and Muslim Speakers Bureau and FDD Undergraduate and Academic fellows at, among other schools, Harvard University, Stanford University, and the University of Chicago, these Iranian student leaders spoke to students and faculty about the alleged threat Iran's mullahs pose to democracy and human rights.

Famous quotes containing the words threat and/or campaign:
“The sickness of our times for me has been just this damn thing that everything has been getting smaller and smaller and less and less important, that the romantic spirit has dried up, that there is no shame today.... We’re all getting so mean and small and petty and ridiculous, and we all live under the threat of extermination.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
