Below is part of the founding statement of the Iraq Freedom Congress. It seems to be more oriented toward the views of average Iraqis and not that of exiles that return only to find their niche in the power structure.

*

IFC is a broad organisation committed to establishing a free, secular and non-ethnic government in Iraq – a government based on direct sovereignty of people of Iraq, and committed to guarantying their right to freely and consciously determine the system of governance in Iraq.
*

IFC is independent, democratic, non-religious and non-ethnic.
*

IFC has been formed to encounter the civil abyss in Iraq. Presently, the fabric of the civil society in Iraq has been torn apart under the US occupation and the domination of the Islamic, tribal and political gangsters. People of Iraq have been caught between the two poles of world terrorism of our time- the US state terrorism and the political Islam – forcing their mental and physical well-being to the verge of destruction.
*

IFC strives to establish the sovereignty of people of Iraq. The only way out of this abyss is to mobilise people to take the country, to whatever extent possible, out of the sphere of control of both the US occupiers and the Islamic currents, and establish their sovereignty.
*

IFC mobilises and organises people within its local and district organisations to establish the control and sovereignty of the people at every level and to any extent possible. IFC safeguards this sovereignty against any aggression. The sovereignty of the people in this context is the implementation of the demands stated in the manifesto of IFC as legislations.
*

Individuals as well as organisations (including political parties, trade unions, people’s councils, associations and institutions) who share the aims and objectives of IFC may join IFC, as stated in the IFC’s constitution, provided their programmes and policies do not breach that of IFC.
*

IFC’s operations and organisation are not restricted to Iraq. IFC endeavours to gain the support of all free-minded individuals, progressive organisations and institutions worldwide, whom share its aims.
*

IFC calls on all humanitarians to join its ranks.
