The enclosed petition urges you to revoke your decision to host President Ahmadinejad and his delegation.
Your decision to host the Ahmadinejad delegation has profoundly shocked and disappointed a significant number of people in this country. This shameful decision legitimizes a dictatorial terrorist regime, and damages the Hilton brand worldwide. It undermines the international community's attempt to stand up against President Ahmadinejad's regime, and validates its systematic violation of human rights and illegal pursuit of a nuclear program. Your continued silence about these issues indicates cowardice, complicity, or lack of awareness that you will be hosting today's greatest "pariah" nation. Time will show that Hilton Hotels, the parent company Blackstone Group, and the Franchisee, Procaccianti Group, were all on the wrong side of history. Shame on you for hosting a regime with the blood of so many--Iranians, Americans, NATO troops, Middle Easterners and others--on its hands.
We urge you to revoke your misguided, abhorrent decision.
