TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
Dear Sir,
I'm a young engineer that live in the sixth most populous city of Iran. As you know, We Iranian are a peaceful nation that always want to have greatest relationship with other nations. Even after the Islamic revolution and many sanctions, We two nations are still friends together. many Iranian-Americans live in United states and they travel with American families to Iran every year. And when we meet each other in public places, We realize that we are better friends and have deeper friendship. As Brandon Stanton have mentioned once: "Americans are especially loved. This was noted in every travel account that I read, and I can confirm the fact. You will be smiled at, waved at, and invited to meals."
In recent days, We have heard about H.R.158 and Visa Waiver program. It's really annoying that United States Congress have exerted limitations for Iranian. The main question is why Iranian should be named in this bill? The people who have never shared that extremist ideology and who have never had anything to do with this or any other act of terrorism in the United States. And to prove that, Who's better than you and your words! As you have said it for Nowruz celebration: "Here in the United States our own communities have been enhanced by the contributions of Iranian Americans. We know that you are a great civilization, and your accomplishments have earned the respect of the United States and the world." We Iranian people just want peace for United States and as I mentioned, never did anything wrong against it. So, I ask you respectfully to reconsider about H.R.158. We Iranian and Iranian-Americans have a nice memory about nuclear deal from your government, So let's have another nice one from you and your government.
I hope that have a better world with peaceful relations together.
Respectfully,
Javad Abbasi
Shiraz, Iran

This is an absolute disrespect to the iranian community currently living or planning to reside in the US.. This has to stop for the sake of humanity ..!
this act is pure nonesense, there have been no Iranian terrorists in north america in the past decade!
I am an artist , I have UK visa and living abroad for over 6 years, You are punishing me and millions of Iranian ordinary people just for where we were bourn ! Please stop this ....
I came here to this country not to be treated as second hand human being. HR-158 is the latest act to ruine all the belives in democracy and freedom and provide me kind of feeling being treadet as such
Please review again. My family are all in Iran . It is not fair to get visa every year to visit them . Iranian are not terrorists. They never participated in terrorist attack in USA or even Europe. We moved here to get th get rid of discrimination . Please do not do anything that makes us as second citizens in here too. why we should punish for something that we never done?
Waiver as Iranian american
I fully support this effort.

The goal is to make more allies, especially in the region, where people are bombarded by anti-American slogans. This is a very unwise signal to send. We need unity and peace not devision and discrimination.
