An Egyptian family sit on a motorbike under a banner with Arabic writing that reads,"go down participate and say yes for Egypt's constitution and no for terrorism," as they watch a march to mark the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad in cairo, Egypt, Monday, Jan. 13, 2014. In a climate of fear and intimidation, Egyptians are being asked to vote this week on a vision of the nation's future sponsored by the powerful military. But in an increasingly fraught and paranoid society, campaigning for the two-day vote widely viewed as a referendum on the likely presidential run Egypt's top general has been less than free.
