Dear President Bush,
 
  We wish to extend our most sincere and humble thanks for the words you spoke in celebration and support of freedom for all people. Indeed, words ringing out clearly as the liberty bell itself when as a witness described, "It rang as if it meant something."
 
  Be assured that the reverberations of the ringing clarity of your words have been heard in our country, and be assured they mean something. Something extraordinary, for there’s an increase of hope in the eyes of Iranians everywhere, that they may finally be supported in their efforts to shrug off the oppressive theocratic chains which have bound the people for so long. Chains, which have silenced the voice of the people in utterance, and stilled them with overwhelming force. Chains, denying us a better future for our children, and our children's children for over a generation in this process.
 

  Sir, our constant public support for yourself, your wise choice of Dr. Rice as Colin Powell's successor as Secretary of State, your correct international vision, and your policies, past reflected in our many previous letters and public statements, has been consistently well founded, just as millions of Iranians inside and outside Iran were correct in supporting you and placing their hopes in your re-election.
 
  We remember the Gdansk shipyards, and the moment of remembrance at the late President Ronald Reagan's funeral services by Lech Walesa, the leader of the Polish uprising (and former President of Poland), being a profound moment of thanks given by a free people. We are not yet a free people, but our thanks for America's support for our legitimate aspirations is comparable even so today, and from the heart as well.
 
  Let their be no doubt in anyone's mind that the Islamic Republic regime cannot be reformed in whole or in part, nor be caused to abandon its blind nuclear ambition by appeasement or economic incentive.
The only way our people can regain our honor and the world it's trust for an Iran that seeks to provide a safer future for all people is by providing us, the people of Iran, with the support for our legitimate aspirations of liberty and the tools necessary to take back the land that Cyrus the Great brought Democracy to over 2500 years ago.
  Honor demands that we do this of our own accord, without foreign military intervention, but with the proper tools of law provided by this elected body of free men and women which is the US Congress, in overwhelming support for the “Iran Freedom Support Act” as well as your noble foreign policy, and with the tools provided by the international community through your very able Secretary of State's diplomatic efforts, we will ultimately succeed in becoming a free, secular, and prosperous Democracy.
 
  Mr. President, as you have so wisely stated, each problem has its own solution, and one of our letters to you (Jan. 27,2005 *)  we proposed ways in which the international community- in a unified voice through the UN Security Council, can act to stand with the Iranian people in our hour of need.
  The state of the internal parameters existing today inside Iran, are such that they are ripe for Democratic revolution, and unique in the region for the total abandonment of any wish to retain a theocratic political structure. Indeed over fifteen years worth of dark theocratic tyranny followed by eight years of failed sham "reforms" and continued tyranny is enough to reveal the only viable solution being a complete and total separation of religion and state, and a completely changed political structure.
 
  The proposed solutions we may implement together via dialogue between our two peoples and between the various secular opposition groups in an international roundtable setting, resulting in the international coordination of our efforts and actions through the auspices of the UN, in the face of a common enemy, hinge on a unified moral stance within the community of nations to halt any and all support for the Islamic Republic regime, it's terrorist allies, and its economic and political base.

  We believe it would be criminally negligent for any nation to support the continuance and aspirations of the Islamic Republic regime one day longer.

  We hope you will take our message to Europe (and the world) with you on your upcoming trip, and urge them to stand with us, and for democracy, or risk losing face for standing against us and having continued economic ties with the Islamic Republic regime. We also look forward to your meeting with various trusted secular opposition leaders to discuss solutions and issues of mutual concern in the near future.
 
  We also wish to offer our sincere thanks to those others besides yourself who have for so long stood by our side, including Sen. Sam Brownback, Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. Rick Santorum, Sen. George Allen, Sen. Richard G. Lugar, Sen. Chuck Hagel, and the former Secretary of State, Colin Powell who have worked with you and the US Congress to aid our people in the devastation of the Bam earthquake, and helped shine that bright glaring light of the truth regarding the terrorism and atrocities committed by the Islamic Republic regime.

 
  Sir, for in this struggle against terrorism we are engaged in, the leaders of the Islamic Republic regime are the terrorists in our people's midst, sponsoring it abroad, conducting it at home, and staining the honor of our nation with the blood of our citizens as well as the blood of the innocent throughout the entire region.
  Indeed, bold agendas often require bold steps to achieve them, as well as bold ideas and brave hearts to promote their success. Those that stand in the way, or nay-say the self evident truth of your correct vision for Democracy have yet to reckon with, and badly underestimated the resolve of the our people and indeed, the resolve of yourself, and those nations that place Democratic values above that of their own short-term economic gains. Those that doubt must be convinced that only by a free and Secular-Democratic Iran, may their long-term economic relationship with our nation become stable, and free from questionable ethics.
 

  Mr. President, on behalf of the “Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran” (SMCCDI), the “Iranian Alliance Organization” (IAO) and the good people of our nation who have striven so long for freedom, from the heart we wish again here to extend our most sincere and humble thanks and gratitude for your kind words of support and the support of the US Congress in our long road to liberty. We know that you mean what you say, and that America will back those words up in tangible measure.

  Know this then to all who read this, that as America stands with the people of Iran, the Iranian people shall stand with America in the struggle against terrorism and tyranny.
