Here’s my 50-words-or-less statement:

“It is clear to the rest of the world that the recent events in the wake of the Iranian election show the burgeoning desire for democracy and freedom. Disputed and fraudulent elections are the antithesis of democracy, and is not conducive to the concept of freedom. We, as Americans, need to continue to lead by example so that the injustices of these regimes do not have their way in silencing the vocal opposition.”
