Independent presidential candidate Anisa Abd el Fattah slams the Paul Ryan budget plan. She calls for the poor, middle class, labor and people of all faiths to unite to defeat the plan.
In a press release issued today, Independent Presidential candidate Anisa Abd el Fattah expressed opposition to the Ryan budget plan. Citing the plan's wrong approach to reducing government debt, Abd el Fattah opined, saying “stiff austerity measures are the wrong approach to solving US economic woes.”
“It is simple common sense that any American can understand” she said. “You cannot cut public services and destroy the economic safety nets that protect Americans from abject poverty, while also refusing to create jobs that pay a living wage. To do that means essentially that most of us will be forced into poverty, and there will be nothing to save us, or protect us from becoming penniless, homeless and from starving. That includes our children.” Abd el Fattah said "the Ryan plan budget is a plan to relieve the rich of their responsibility to pay the debt they imposed upon the United States with their wars, and failed economic schemes. They want the poor and middle class to pay. We say no and we won't allow it“

 Calls for 16 rather than 12 years of free public education for American students; says what was considered higher education 100 years ago is basic education in today's global environment.
Today, presidential candidate Anisa Abd el Fattah in response to the ongoing debate on student loan interest rates, said that not only should young people not be burdened with debt in order to get an education, American students should receive 16 and not only 12 years of free public education. “US policy makers are still living in the past and not only do they refuse to acknowledge that we are way behind other countries in respect to educating our young people. What we are asking our students and families to pay for in respect to higher education is a rip off. What our students are being taught in our institutions of higher education, is what students in other parts of the world are being taught for free and as part of their basic education programs. Failure in our elementary schools and high schools means that much of what our colleges and universities are teaching is remedial and below the standard of what is considered in the global educational environment a “higher education.”

Calls upon UN to immediately intervene on behalf of the Palestinian people.
Presidential candidate Anisa Abd el Fattah, in response to Israel's attack on the Palestinian Gaza Strip that began the morning of Saturday March 10 and ended in the early afternoon leaving more than 15 people dead, condemned Israel. She called upon the UN to intervene on behalf of the Palestinian people.
Anisa stated that “since 1948 the people of Palestine have been subjected to some of the worse injustices imaginable, including the deprivation of human rights. The repeated massacres and the persistent ethnic cleansing, which is in fact genocide, have been ongoing for 54 years. It is time for the illegal occupation of Palestine to end and for Israel to be held accountable for its violations of international law and war crimes “
The Gaza Strip, along with the West Bank, which includes Jerusalem have been subjected to escalating Israeli violence since the failure of a peace agreement between Palestine and Israel negotiated in the 1990s known as the Oslo Accords. Even the Bush era peace process failed to bring about a negotiated settlement between Israel and Palestine, mostly due to the unfair advantages granted Israel, the illegal occupier by the international community. The UN, EU and US have refused to demand that Israel abide by the terms of its agreements, and according to Abd el Fattah, “have instead armed Israel with sophisticated weaponry, a license to kill and impunity.”

 US presidential candidate Anisa Abd el Fattah is calling for an immediate US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and an end to the so called war on terrorism. Her call for immediate withdrawal is based upon a series of actions by US military on the ground in Afghanistan, indicating the US Pentagon has either lost interest in the day to day conduct of the so called war in Afghanistan, or the troops are simply no longer under the control of the Pentagon.
“A spate of unfortunate and tragic events that not only cost the lives of innocent civilian Afghan citizens, but also seriously jeopardizes US military personnel, and that violate international law have taken place in Afghanistan” said Abd el Fattah. “The Quran burning incident, the recent massacre of more than 16 Afghan citizens, killed while sleeping, mostly woman and children is a clear indication that the US Pentagon has lost control of this war and apparently have also lost control of the troops on the ground,” she added.
Abd el Fattah stated, “This war has gone on for too long and with no clear or obtainable mission. This is obviously having a very negative effect on our troops, many who are on their third or fourth deployment to Afghanistan. We are asking our soldiers and Marines to do the impossible and it is time for this to end. There is no victory to be had in Afghanistan, only more misery for the Afghan people, our troops and our country. Add to this that we can no longer afford this misadventure . It is costing us too much money and too much US credibility.”

Plan to Release Oil Reserves is a Mistake |

The plan to use US oil reserves to bring down the price of gas in the US is a mistake.[See story: As gasoline prices surge, US eyes oil reserve release-Chu ] It is a mistake for us to begin depleting the oil reserve, using oil that we have stored away in case of a crisis. There is no real crisis or emergency that cannot be resolved in more prudent ways. If we use the oil reserve, we are going to create a supply shortage. First we need to demand that our government stop lying and tell the truth so that the citizenry can help with the challenges facing our country. It is almost impossible to solve problems when the problems are being deliberately created to obtain a certain objective that has not been made public.
The truth is that our government has bought into an agenda, the aim of which is to deconstruct the United States. This is not a discussion of American exceptionalism. It is a discussion about a people who over more than 200 years accomplished a great deal that other countries did not, and used unethical, unsavory and even illegal means to accomplish many of our claimed successes. Now we have a supposedly chosen people who have nearly achieved its desired control of the world using our wealth and our military and it is now demanding that we too come under its absolute control.
