Remember Asmaa Mahfouz (http://bit.ly/r4iaEv)?
She's the young woman who had been protesting against Mubarak since 2008, and on Jan 18th (a week before the Egyptian revolution) made a video that went viral and pulled thousands of young men & women to the streets. The rest was history.

She's been in trouble with Egypt's ruling interim military government, whom she accused repeatedly of working to undermine the revolution and delay handing over power to a civilian government. They brought her up on charges before a military court, but later dropped the charges after massive public outcry.
Since the revolution, there has been a continuous smear campaign against her, to the point that many are afraid for her life. About a week ago she was attacked in public by an unnamed assailant.
Asmaa will be in Virginia for 3 days starting tomorrow. I'd really appreciate if someone could arrange some coverage or events for her while she's in town. A nice Ron Paul primer would be nice, would love to get her on with the message!
