“I’m here to tell you we do exist.”

February 5, 2012

At a recent Republican presidential primary debate, Palestinian American Abraham Hassan said the following to the Republican candidates:

“I’m here to tell you we do exist.”

Abraham Hassan

Hassan is a self-described Palestinian American Republican from  Jacksonville, Florida.  During the debate, he asked the following question:

“How would a Republican Administration help bring peace to Palestine and Israel, when most candidates barely recognize Palestine or its people?”

Former Governor Mitt Romney and Speaker Newt Gingrich both responded with one-sided answers that laid all the blame at the feet of Palestinian leaders.

But the first step is to ask the right question — and we applaud Mr. Hassan for doing so.


The Struggle for Freedom

Have you seen this video?

Compiled by “another Egyptian who’s had enough,” it chronicles the struggles of Egyptian democracy activists against the dictatorship that wants them silenced.

After 30 years of repression, Egyptians are expressing hope, defiance, and fear as they protest in the streets.

Will our own US government finally drop the dictator who has held the Egyptian people down?

In Egypt: The dictator strikes back.

February 2, 2011

In this English language video from Al Jazeera, an emotional woman speaks from the front lines of democracy in Egypt.  Pro-government thugs have begun attacking the protesters.

“We keep on receiving people that are beaten up — people that are drowned in their blood.”

The time has come for President Obama to clearly declare an end to US support for Egypt’s dictator.  With so many Egyptians protesting in the streets, the US must finally join them in their struggle to be free.

Please urge President Obama to formally end all support for Hosni Mubarak.  Click here.
