How do I have someone tweet a specific phrase from my blog?

I work for a nonprofit and I’m trying to set up something where a visitor can automatically tweet a specific phrase from our blog. For example

"One in two men will get cancer in their lifetime" Tweet this fact now.

Anyone know of any widgets or other ways to do this?

You probably don’t need anything more than this:

"http://twitter.com/home?status=One in two men will get cancer in their lifetime. See thisblog.org for details"

Print your text – heck, you could put it in a graphic – anchor that URL to it, slap a Twitter button on it and label it "Tweet this." If the user isn’t logged in, Twitter will ask him to sign in.
