June 19th, 2009 - Washington, DC - Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) today took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to speak on behalf of the Iranian people during debate on a Resolution in support of the Iranian people, which passed the House overwhelmingly. Following, please find Congressman Diaz-Balart’s remarks:
“The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the so-called supreme leader, is the ruthless dictator of Iran. Ahmadinejad is his puppet. In this farcical election Khamenei overstepped, blatantly. The others in the dictatorship who aspired to the puppet presidency are upset. The Iranian people are utilizing this moment of division in the dictatorship to heroically express their opposition to the dictatorship.
The issue is not one of who is entitled to be the puppet president in the Iranian dictatorship. The issue is that the Iranian people are entitled to an end to the dictatorship and to live in self-determination and freedom and democracy.
The president of the United States has been silent and confused. The Congress of the United States clearly stands with the Iranian people, and they will prevail.”
