  1. It should be called Iranian American lobbiest for the Islamic republic of Iran.
    I bet Ahmadinejad if keeping his fingers crossed for Obama to be the President. It is very unfortunate.

  2. Personally, I think Obama and McCain are pretty much same thing. Obama is just smarter and knows how to play with words. Ahmadinjad was exactly like Obama before he got elected. That’s why you can never tell if a presidential candidate says the truth or has the ability of doing what he has promised during his campaign.

    That’s why, it’s better not to support Obama that much. Because, in future you may regret your support for him.

    Obama might be a better president for Americans, but for Iranian, they’re both the same.

    Go Ron Paul!!!

  3. Its easy to label people as “lobbyists” and “agents” of such and such without any proof. What’s hard for some people to understand is that maybe these people simply share the values of Democratic party and they also happened to be Iranian. I for example, do not like nor care for Iranian government. I care about American government and I found Democratic Party to be a better fit for it. In other word, Democratic Party’s stands on issues are closer to my PERSONAL values. Now Mr. Khorram wants to accuse me of being a Lobbyist or an agent of some medieval Theocracy over 10000 miles away, Ok, but that’s just ignorant.
    It would be better for people like you (Mr. Khorram) to create your own Iranian-American for Republican Party and get involved. I guarantee that It is much more rewarding than accusing people of being lobbyists or agents of a foreign regime.

  4. Why the name Iranican?

    Dear Barry,

    Thank you for watching our report and leaving your comment on the website. The name Iranican, is a play of words: Iranian + American. We chose this name because our goal is to reach out to the new generation of Iranians growing up here in America, to bring them closer to Iran and Iranian culture while keeping them informed about issues that concern us as a community within this country. All of this wrapped in an entertaining media shell and delivered over the internet where this generation is mostly connected to.

    Hope you have enjoyed our taste of video coverage and report. We look forward to hear more from you and keep you as a supportive audience.

  5. It is just GREAT to see Iranian Americans participating in politics !
    As a grandmother this year, I feel very strongly, that all Iranians
    who are living in the United States & should participate and contribute
    to society.

    I am disappointed at a few who are negative and say our vote will
    not count. This Election it became obvious that each vote counts.
    Hope for more and more participation in the future.
    Copngratulations to those who took part in this historical
    Election 2008.

  6. hi!
    great job!
    how can I share your videos on my Facebook page? I bet thousands of Iranians will be proud of what you are doing out there.

  7. I mean if u makes it possible to share your videos on FB by just clicking a sign down here (just like what YouTube is already doing) it would accelerate, spreading of what you are doing.
    again great job!
    thank you is not enough!

  8. Saeed Jan,

    Thank you for your kind words. Not all of our videos are available on YouTube since when they came out YouTube still did not support HD videos. This one however is available in lower quality should you want to share it elsewhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZQ46BhXS8c
    Thank you again for your support,
