She added that Mubarak and his sons had ultimate sovereignty, but now that he is no longer in power, women - like Kamel - can contribute to the government. During her presentation, Kamel played four videos, one of which depicted a young woman who said the army sexually assaulted her in prison under the guise of a "virginity test," though the army denied the existence of these tests. Another video showed a December 2011 women's protest march against military brutality. "Egyptian women would face the difficulties with courage and bravery," Kamel said. She added that while the rise of Islamist and conservative parties - which have won a large share of votes in Tunisia and Egypt - is problematic, it did not signal the end of the revolution. "The revolutionaries seek only a free Egypt," she said. Following a standing ovation after her speech, Kamel held a 40-minute question-and-answer session with attendees. Kamel said a focus of her cam- paign is to promote the strength of women and her political goals, adding that a female president will be symbolic of revolutionary change in Egypt. "When the revolution is victo- rious, there will be a female presi- dent," she said. Kamel also said she supports religious freedom for all people. Kamel, who does not wear a headscarf, said wearing a head covering must remain one's choice. Ahmed Nada, a 16-year-old Egyptian student who attends Skyline High School inAnnArbor, said he was in Tahrir Square dur- ing the protests, and told Kamel that at the time he thought the "revolution had already died." Kamel disagreed with the sen- timent and in an interview with The Michigan Daily interview fol- lowing the speech she expressed sadness at the aggressiveness of Egyptian students. She said the youth in Egypt are shaped by the atmosphere of the revolution and are constantly critical. "The youth wants to break everything," Kamel said. However, she differentiated between Egyptian students and those at the University, who she said were very courteous. "Your students give the energy of this city (Ann Arbor)," Kamel said. Kamel stressed that the foun- dation of the revolution stems from the younger generation while adults "merely support it." "When the youth sacrifice, the adults try to steal it," Kamel said. Business and LSA senior Ahmad Soliman, president of the Egyptian Student Association, said he thought coming to see Kamel's speech was worthwhile. "Talks like this give us a chance to understand some of the nuance of what is going on," Soliman said.

The forum also included two University students - LSA freshman Pavitra Abraham, a campus organizer for the Obama campaign in Ann Arbor, and Business junior Taqee Vernon, the spokesman for the Black Student Union - Matt Kerry, a student at the University's Dear- born campus, also participated. The three students shared per- sonal stories about why they decided to support Obama. Penn said he decided to join the Obama campaign primar- ily because he was bothered the handling of national affairs by former President George W. Bush, noting examples of how faulty policy negatively impact- ed his friends. Specifically, Penn said Bush's lack of priorities were exempli- fied by one friend of his who couldn't afford eyeglasses due to financial strife, while anoth- er friend of his was offered a $90,000 contract to work for the organization formerly known as Halliburton, a defense contrac- tor, in Iraq. "I thought it was absolutely crazy that my friends had to make a decision in the world's richest, most powerful coun- try, to make a decision between a minimum wage job and 90-grand for driving a truck through a warzone for a private company, or eyeglasses or text- books," Penn said. "To me, that seemed nuts." Penn said he learned about what youth voters cared about by working as Obama's youth liaison. "I realized that most young people, regardless of their politi- cal affiliations, agreed on quite a lot," Penn said. He added that it is impor- tant Obama is re-elected so that he can continue to strengthen achievements made during his first term. "It was a distinct honor to serve the president as he dou- bled the Pell Grant, created the American Opportunity Tax Credit, repealing 'don't ask, don't tell,' ending the war in Iraq - taking care of bin Laden wasn't so bad - and making sure that 2.5 million young Ameri- cans could stay on their parent's health-insurance plan," Penn said. In an interview with the Daily after the event, Penn said though he understands that though citi- zens may be cynical about the political climate in America, Obama is a better choice com- pared to the current field of Republican challengers, During the panel, Dingell lauded the importance of col- lege students in comprising the American workforce of the future. "You're only 25 percent of the population, but you're 100 per- cent of our future," Dingell said. Dingell criticized Republi- can presidential candidate Rick Santorum for recent comments in opposition to Obama's prior- ity on increasing college afford- ability. "(Santorum) said President Obama was a snob for wanting everyone to go to college," Ding- ell said. "Well I was of that gen- eration that fought in World War II, and we came back and they gave us an education to thank us for what we did for our coun- try. It was great for us, but it was even better for the country." Kerry, who accepted a job as a field manager for the Obama campaign, became paralyzed from a dive into shallow water several years ago. Kerry spoke about how his family ran into financial issues following his accident, noting that he is grate- ful for Obama's work toward passing the Affordable Care Act. "I no longer have to worry about my pre-existing condition in the future. I can't be dropped from plan for my condition," Kerry said. "Even more than that, tens of millions of young Americans will have insurance now."
