We were so impressed with their forthright answers & commitment to helping keep Utah one of the best States in the Union.
Kim was especially attentive & took the time to hear our voices as Muslims who care about America.
Politics belongs to those who show up & if a person refuses to be a part of the process than their voice is lost in the noise.
I want to commend my friend & fellow freedom minded compatriot in the AMRA Abdelrahman Mustapha in being so open in sharing his experiences fighting for the freedoms some of us take for granted.
Abdelrahman is covered in scars from systematic abuse meted out by a corrupt dictator who imprisoned him for daring to question why his homeland of Egypt couldn't exercise their basic God given freedoms such as Freedom of Assembly, expressing political opinion and the ability to vote.
Abdel was placed in a pit with no sunlight & experienced some of the most inhumane treatment known to man for simply wanting to experience freedoms enshrined in our Constitution.
He came to America with a dream of being able to speak to elected officials about his desires & I was honored to be with him as he did so. To see the Human Spirit flourish under Freedom is a beautiful & awe inspiring thing to behold.
As stated, I'm incredibly honored to know Abdel & I hope to see him grow as a leader in Utah politics. In this modern era we can become jaded as to what freedoms means but to be with such a special individual who has sacrificed so much for basic human freedoms humbles me.
I'm in awe of him & I hope I can grow alongside him as we work together as leaders in Utah politics.
May we all remember our God given Rights & honor them in ourselves & others.
We at AMRA dream of a world where we are all free & where we properly care for each other as Human Beings.
Simply put: We believe in Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness.
Thanks again to American's for Prosperity, Representative Coleman & McCay for such a productive day in politics & freedom.
