UANI Applauds California Insurance Commissioner Poizner's Divestment Efforts

 
New York, NY - "United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) applauds California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner for his effort to encourage insurance companies in California to divest from holdings in international corporations that support Iran's petroleum, nuclear, defense, and banking sectors.  UANI calls on all companies to cease doing business in Iran and supports divestment of corporations that persist in their dealings with Iran.  In launching this initiative Commissioner Poizner not only demonstrates his understanding of the dangers posed by a nuclear-armed Iran, but also takes meaningful action to address the problem in a way that can bring about a change in Iran's behavior.  We commend Commissioner Poizner for his decision to implement this divestment initiative and call on all public leaders to use their good offices to apply financial pressure toward Iran."  - Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, President, United Against Nuclear Iran
