Nationwide Protests; NYC Hotel Bans Ahmadinejad

Jewlicious has signed up to be a participating organzation for the NYC protest organized by the Stand for Freedom in Iran Coalition.

Protests are planned in major cities against the Iranian dictators. Perhaps this is the year we can get him locked up for taking American hostages in Tehran.

NY hotel refuses to host Ahmadinejad

Helmsley Properties management cancels event scheduled to host Iranian president after being approached by United Against a Nuclear Iran organization. ‘Neither the Iranian Mission nor President Ahmadinejad is welcome at any Helmsley facility,’ says hotel spokesman
