In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Perpetuation of the movement
I would like to thank you, the zealous youth «1» women and the army of Imam of the Time, may God's peace be upon him. I implore the Exalted and Blessed God for your prosperity. The women had a great share in this movement. Our young brethren had a great share in this movement and helped achieve its victory and sever foreign interests. However, we have reached only half of the way and should not think ourselves victorious. The though of victory can bring lethargy and we have gone only half of the way. Together we should all advance the cause of this movement and should not let it die down and lethargy overcome us. I fear that if, God forbid, differences creep into the ranks of the various strata of the people, we will revert to the previous situation. I am afraid that the (Shah's) henchmen will once again prevail over us. I fear that our resources will be plundered again and our human resources withheld from blossoming.
An affirmative vote for the Islamic republic
You, the youth and the Iranian nation, should safeguard your unity. Have reliance on the Qur'an and the Exalted and Blessed God. Advance forward armed with this reliance on the Exalted and Blessed God and the unity of expression. Tomorrow is the referendum day; it is a day when your destiny will be determined; it is a day when either Islam or unbelief will triumph. It is the day when a" yes" means Islam and a" no" means anti-Islam. It is the day when a" yes" will determine your prosperous destiny and a" no" will take you back to the starting point. Vote" yes." I will vote affirmatively. I will vote" yes" for Islamic republic from the bottom of my heart. I am asking you, brothers and sisters, to vote" yes." Go and cast the" yes" ballot into the box. Your prosperity lies in this" yes" vote through which your country will become independent. Through this affirmative vote, you will be free. God forbid, if you grow lethargic and lazy regarding this affair and desist from voting, I am afraid you will be met with defeat and the pre-Revolution situation will return. We are all duty-bound to go and vote. Do not sit at home tomorrow. Go out of your homes tomorrow. The Iranian nation should come out of their homes, go to polling precincts and cast their votes. I will vote in the affirmative and I ask you to vote" yes" too. May God grant you health, prosperity, and victory and establish an Islamic republic in Iran.
