We Are Not Waiting Anymore
I didn’t plan to write this tonight.
Two weeks ago, this was supposed to be live.
But delays forced patience. Banks. Compliance. Structure.
And looking back, that delay mattered.
Because this wasn’t something to rush.
This had to be real.
Tonight, it is.
The John Adams Initiative PAC is officially live.
The infrastructure is built.
The first project, We Are Cyrus, is live and already capturing momentum.
But this didn’t start with paperwork.
It started at CPAC.
What I Saw at CPAC
Most people saw a conference.
I saw something else.
I saw thousands of Iranian Americans show up, not quietly, not passively, but with presence.
Yes, many came to hear Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
But that’s not the story people are missing.
The real story is what happened around that moment.
The support.
The respect.
The alignment.
Everyday Americans at CPAC didn’t just tolerate the Iranian freedom movement.
They embraced it.
They understood it.
Because deep down, they recognize something:
The fight for freedom is not theoretical.
Some of us have lived the alternative.
I’ve Lived It
I was born into a Bahá’í family in Iran.
I know what it means to be a religious minority under a regime that doesn’t tolerate difference.
I know what happens when ideology replaces freedom.
I came to this country, and I served it.
As an infantryman in the United States Army.
And today, I follow Christ.
I believe in truth, in responsibility, and in standing firm when it matters.
So when I saw what was happening at CPAC, I didn’t just see a moment.
I saw a responsibility.
The Pattern Is Clear
What destroyed Iran was not random.
It was a fusion of ideologies that promised justice and delivered control.
Marxism wrapped in religion.
Power disguised as morality.
And today, elements of that same thinking are creeping into the United States.
Different language. Same outcome.
More control. Less freedom.
More division. Less truth.
Some people can’t see it yet.
But those of us who have lived it don’t have the luxury of ignoring it.
That’s Why This Exists
The John Adams Initiative PAC was built for one reason:
To act early, not late.
To be visionary, not reactive.
John Adams didn’t wait for America to be overtaken.
He built what was needed before it was obvious to everyone else.
That’s the mindset we’re bringing forward.
Where We Are Cyrus Fits In
We Are Cyrus is the first phase.
It’s not the entire mission.
It’s the beginning of activation.
It’s about bringing together Iranian Americans and allies who understand what’s at stake.
People who:
- value freedom because they’ve seen its absence
- believe in America’s Constitution
- are ready to organize, not just observe
And yes, it’s about showing up.
Not once.
Not for a moment.
But consistently.
At CPAC.
In communities.
And ultimately, in November.
This Is Bigger Than One Group
This didn’t start as a broad movement.
It started with a very specific community that has lived through something most Americans haven’t.
But this is not limited to Iranian Americans.
This belongs to anyone who understands a simple truth:
Freedom is not guaranteed.
And if you wait until it’s obvious, it’s already too late.
The Moment We’re In
President Trump didn’t just speak about the Iranian people.
He acted.
From taking out Qasem Soleimani to standing firmly against the Islamic Republic, he showed something most leaders avoid:
Clarity.
Strength.
Willingness to confront what others ignore.
And now, there’s a moment in front of us.
Not to watch.
To respond.
What Happens Next
We are organizing.
We are building.
We are multiplying.
And we are preparing to show up in November.
Not as individuals.
But as a force.
The Line Is Simple
This is happening.
The only question is whether you’re part of it.
