A MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAN

Dear ones in the occupied great land of Iran,

I know how you have suffered under the brutal regime of the Islamic Republic. I know
how the great name of Iran has been dragged down low by uneducated mullahs until it
has become synonymous with terror, rape, hatred, and barbarity. In what civilized
country in the world today would judges condemn a woman to death by stoning because
her ex-husband has accused her of adultery? The actions of this regime are a stain upon
the conscience of humanity.

Dear ones, I come from a country that believes that each human being is endowed by his
Creator with certain unalienable rights, the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right
to pursue his or her dreams of happiness, without government getting in the way.
Where are those liberties today in this Islamic Republic?

I believe in a faith whose God so loved the world he gave his only-begotten son his best
beloved of all time to save the human race from its depravity, from its sins. Do you see
any of that love today in this Islamic Republic?

Dear ones, I am running to become a member of the United States Congress. This is a
position of some power in my country. If I am elected, I will use these powers to make
your sufferings known to the leaders and to the people in my country. I will raise my
voice in support of freedom. I will urge my colleagues and my government to provide
powerful new resources to the people of Iran, to help you break the yoke of this
dictatorship. I will ride with you in the wagons along the bumpy road to freedom, I will
march with you across the mountains, across the fertile valleys and the Salt Desert until
you arrive at your goal, which is to tear down this brutal regime brick by brick and
unleash the power, the beauty, and the love of the Iranian genius.

Dear ones, I want you to know why I believe these things. It's not because I have fallen
in love with Iran, although I have great admiration for the history and the culture of your
great land. It is because I believe a free Iran is in the best interest of my country, America,
- and indeed, in the interests of free people throughout the world.

All of the threats and saber-rattling we hear from the leaders of the Islamic Republic are
first and foremost aimed at you, the brave people of Iran, with the goal of keeping you
hostage.

Our problem in the West is not with Iran; it is with the Islamic Republic. This is why, if elected to Congress I will support your efforts to achieve your freedom in every way that I can.

As we approach the 33rd anniversary of the darkness that has swept over your land, I pray
for light. I pray for your strength. I pray for freedom. I will work to ensure that those
prayers become a reality.

Long live Iran! Down with the Islamic Republic!
