protect political and religious rights in Egypt.

Today, 10/9/11, the Egyptian Army brutally attacked a peaceful protest in Cairo, Egypt, killing at least 24 civilians and injuring at least 300. In one case, a military tank ran over a protester's head, smashing it to pieces. Under the rule of Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), 12,000 Egyptians were sentenced to military court since last January. During Mubarak's rule, only 500 Egyptians were sentenced by military court. More churches were burned and the perpetrators un-sentenced under this military rule. Every year, the US government gives $1.3 billion to SCAF. US tax dollars are being used to fund a ruling army that is killing and oppressing the citizens of its own country. Use your influence and stand with the Egyptian people, not their oppressive military government.
