Establishment of the Islamic Republic through the people's consensus

I implore the Exalted and Blessed God for your success, gentlemen. The Islamic Republic was established after garnering the consensus of twenty million people voting in favor, with only 150,000 or 145,000 against, which was because of cheating in some polling precincts, namely in Qum, where one woman forged ballots half an hour before polling began. Moreover, some people coming from Kermanshah reported rigging of balloting. If the rest of the country's people, even those deviated from Islam, know what Islam is and what its agenda is, all of them will turn their attention to it, unless they are lackeys of America and other superpowers. Those elements, which are involved in seditious activities, are ignorant of Islam and, as I understand, they are in connection with America even though their names are (apparently) contrary to their affiliation. Our nation should reject these people and should heed them not, and eventually they will merge with the multitude of (faithful) people.

Constituents Assembly elections

In the upcoming elections for the Constituents Assembly, which is to ratify the Islamic Republic Constitution, you, the youth, along with the men and women, should cast your votes with zeal and passion, in the same way you had done when you voted for the Islamic Republic in your respective cities. Likewise, in every city and province, you should identify and choose qualified individuals who are honest and religious, as they will constitute the Constituents Assembly, which will ratify the Islamic Republic constitution.
May God grant the whole nation good fortune, prosperity, and God willing, we will be able to enforce Islamic programs. Now, the" Islamic Republic" is merely a phrase; its true meaning is yet to be understood. We have to tread the paths toward the implementation of the" contents" of the Islamic Republic. I pray that, God willing, you will succeed in reviving Islam and its edicts. May God bestow success and prosperity upon you.
