Anisa Abd el Fattah is running for President of the United States. But you should also be aware that this is not just a campaign for the presidency.  This is a rebellion, an American uprising, or what we call a Peaceful Intifada!

The campaign is calling an ASSEMBLY.  Our objective is to use Anisa's presidential campaign as a platform to launch a real movement to change America.   We don't just want the President's office, we want to use the president's office as a staging ground for our uprising against the elite and shadow powers that are destroying our country.  Where the Occupy movement ends, we begin !  Where the Presidential election ends, we begin.  We don't want an imperial presidency in the United States..  We want people power, not presidential power !   Down with the King, up with  a constitution of, for, and by the people!.   

In this movement every vote is a protest against the establishment control of the election process! Your vote is more than just a vote for a candidate.  Your vote is a commitment to join us, presidential election or not. Bring your resources and dedication, and help us create a real rebellion.    It's not going to be done with one candidate for president.  It's going to be done with our collective political will, which is a power that cannot be defeated!  

Upon reviewing the United Progressive's platform, I realize that it accurately portrays my own principled positions on the issues, and I endorse the platform."  She has almost fully incorporated our platform into her own campaign platform. 

Her campaign, called the Anisa Rebellion, promises to be lively and follows the same ideological view of United Progressives in standing up to compromise.  Her version of non-profit universal health care is that it should not be government funded.  "We've got enough things to pay for.  The oil companies with their billions in profits every quarter ought to be paying for it."   As an Independent, her main focus, she says will be on blocking NDAA and it's provisions for indefinite detention.  She seems completely undaunted by concerns about her belief in Islam.  People will criticize me, but I'm glad to have an opportunity to speak out." As a woman, a black, and a Muslim she carries the torch for three classes of human and civil rights and will undoubtedly attract a wide following among people who feel that they are among the disenfranchised.
