Open Call For Muslims To Run For Office

CAMBRIDGE, MA—This “open call” for American Muslims to immerse themselves in local politics is the product of twelve months of organizing by startup nonprofit Jetpac Inc., who are leading the drive for an increase in civic education for American Muslim communities across the United States.

Jetpac was founded by Nadeem Mazen, Massachusetts’ first Muslim City Councillor, and Shaun Kennedy, former Deputy Campaign Manager for Mazen’s landslide 2015 Cambridge City Council win. President and Executive Director respectively, their team has already been training American Muslim community leaders, coordinating group workshops, and organizing civic education programs in what they describe as “America’s most politically underrepresented community.” They have trained prospective Muslim Democratic State Committee members, Democratic National Convention delegates, more than fifteen aspiring candidates for office in MA, NY, RI, and CA, as well as first-time campaign staff who have gone on to successfully manage one of MA’s most contested 2016 primaries. Jetpac also organized the first AP course to be taught at local Islamic school Al-Noor Academy. This US Government and Politics class focuses on practical applications of grassroots organizing and the history of civil rights movements.

Mazen’s 2013 campaign—his first foray into local politics—was won by a margin of just six votes. Two years later, in 2015, Mazen won the most votes of any candidate, doubling his 2013 vote totals with a 300% increase in Muslim voter turnout. Mazen’s campaign attributed this success to an updated campaign methodology—one that embraced cutting edge tech and targeted new media outreach as an essential complement to traditional “ground game” tactics. Mazen believes that Jetpac has gone on to “rewrite the playbook for grassroots organizing and organizer training” and are now scaling and publishing that work for the benefit of the entire American Muslim community.

“Jetpac is not interested in what party you want to run for, or for what office—we want to make sure you’re ready to win before you even declare your candidacy,” said Kennedy. As a nonprofit, Jetpac is unable to involve itself in political campaigns and can’t declare support for or against any politician—but, as Kennedy puts it, they “can educate the American Muslim community, and when it comes to civic engagement, it’s 50 years overdue.” For the same reasons, Jetpac’s intensive training program provides a foundation in civic organizing, covering all the basics and skills of grassroots organizing and some “millennial innovations on traditional campaigning,” according to Kennedy. Jetpac has developed proprietary software that allied organizations and communities can license to enhance their digital outreach efforts. Their comprehensive preparation also covers fundraising, new media communication, canvassing, campaign strategy, and—essential to Muslim candidates—combating negative rhetoric.

With tensions rising between Federal and Local Governments around sanctuary city funding, and unprecedented crowds turning out across the country in solidarity with the Muslim population, the time is now. American Muslims are ready to organize and coming forward to run for office. Now, Jetpac is taking off.

Progs hate this country with a passion, and they want to see it collapse. Of course, they are committing suicide by encouraging the muzz to become their overlords. Now, I would never stand in the way of a prog committing suicide. The problem is, though, that their method of suicide (putting muzz in charge of them) could also put me and mine at risk.

“Justice” as defined by Sharia is “Sharia”, being under Sharia Law.

So ... Setpak

[Califreak]

And millions of people will trip all over their own feet to hurry out and vote for them to signal their virtue and prove to the world how inclusive they are.

Ay yay yay.

This Shaun Kennedy will be responsible for his own beheading someday.......dumbass

He fills up his space at the NY Daily News with hateful spew, usually bashing Trump these days. Every single day, another tidal wave of hate speech from this cretin. I have to wonder why the NY Daily News doesn't can this nothing burger hate monger. He certainly is not a gifted writer. His articles are nothing but opinion pieces (his). They contribute nothing to the reader except a profound case of nausea.

WTF happened to this country?

“Jetpac stands for justice, education, and technology.”

Sort of, well, more like this: Sharia justice, educational madrassahs, elimination of all technology after Mohammad.

By all means lets have more musselmen in political offices so they can facilitate transfers of mosque taxes to local jihadis. The faster the mosque goers can get their taxes in the hands of their soldiers the faster they can destroy the US.

“Bye, bye, First Amendment.”

Next - bye, bye Constitution and Hello Sharia.

That’s right. I hope that Trump is of the same opinion as yours. I can’t get over how stupid the bulk of American voters is when it pertains to islam. All they have to do is look what is happening in Europe.

People have been told for generations that Islam is a religion similar to Christianity and that muslims are kind, generous and peaceful. That’s the message most know.

Nightly news and so on are just noise to most - 911 got people’s attention but they forgot because the media stopped reminding them and then there were muslim after muslim speaking taqyyia about how wonderful Islam is and condemning hijackers of Islam.

Previously there was a concerted effort for decades to make the Palestinians some sort of ethnic people who had there land stolen by Jews. That the Palestinians were a made up group, considered scum and cannon fodder by other Arabs, that they are muslims just never made it to many, if any, media stories.

So people still believe, even DJT it seems, in the Peace Process, which is just a euphemism for extermination of Jews. Not many, relatively speaking, actually know anything about muslims customs and Islam.

The only people looking to Europe to see what is happening are vacation goers looking for the best tour. The rest is just so many news stories, ignored.
