Why America is the land of the future ?

why America is the Land of the Future ? The people party members and myself have been asking this question for a while now, Is America the last land of the future ? If this is true then this issue take us to the heart of our democracy. For thousand of years human beings are in struggle to find most advanced system of democratic government. Indeed we Americans should be proud of our continue process of improvement with small revolutions time to time. Perhaps our laws of freedom have been central to our way of life with the bill of rights. Over the years we have noticed that our political principles have been changing from government of people to Government of corporations. Many Governments have become an instrument of insurance, banking and builders by providing key positions to special interest groups of businessmen. This is major threat not only to our democracy but many countries. A best democracy is the one which is freest from special interest except it people. Politics is not a business, its an obligations. At this time by observing our democracy it looks as major donors of political parties are running America. Last twenty years since the revelation of technology started from President Clinton has given us many opportunities as well control of freedom to telephone and Internet providers with partnership of Adolf Hitler minded government employees to control freedom. It cannot make sense for people of free societies who believe in the essence of liberty which are hiding in human fealty. Over the years we American have seen more laws then any other nation on our planet is threat to liberty. A best democracy should be the servant of people rather then master. The republicans and democrats leadership of America should fallow the rules of Founding Fathers rather then bribes of race and gender to buy their way to power. This policy is dividing and overburdening Jefferson democracy with Hope that cannot be fulfilled. Thus American Constitution is based on domestic tranquility for average American. 2012 Election Republican president runner spent $ 1.3 Billion and Democratic runner $ 1.2 Billion with the total cost of presidential and congressional elections almost 6.5 Billion dollars. The People Party of Connecticut spent total of $ 313 dollars. D.C is well known place around many countries for the city of lobbyists to buy democracy for special interest groups. Our Ethics Committee is unable to monitor impression from human fealty that America is not for sale it's an ideology of future. It's time to divert the ship of our democracy toward the truth and honesty by realizing that every thing that is visible is work of invisible matter for human fealty. Sincerely, God Bless America Written by Ajmal Mehdi A responsible Citizen of State and America.

ENVIROMENTAL CRISES

Environmental Crises Earth that is environmentally stable has a better chance of survival then the planet whose balance is less stable because of weight loss. I hope my reader understands the theory of gravity. In other words life, light, gases and gravity do not have biological organisms to ask them how are they doing. It is our responsibility to educate ourselves for others who depends on us. As we have seen since 1960, space races are increasing and spaceship are getting heavier. At this time, the average spacecraft is about 4.5 million pounds not including cargo. My main concern in this article is how we should protect ourselves from self-destruction by ignoring and creating lower gravitational region. Now imagine a honey hive, a home for honey bees in which they all live together on this planet hive nearby smoke created the environment that they have to move bees will find another place for hive but we would not. As I have mentioned before in my articles, gravity is distributing equal weight on ocean waters and mass of gasses surrounding a shallow body of cultivating system of nature. The pressure of gravity from the Sun with light and heat divides water and gases equally to makes the shape of earth round and colorful. The Sun and our Earth are the only two fusions reactors in our milky way Galaxy. The average speed of the solar wind is about 850,000 miles per hour, once it reaches close to the ozone layer, the speed is reduced and our layer blocks small partials of dust and other chemicals. Dead weight or alive weight is part of this earth for gravity and balance to keep us happy and healthy. Moon is an awesome example and a bigger picture of gravity which is holding it without pillars and ropes. It is time to monitor all space missions and activities to regulate space garbage. I sincerely appreciate technology that has made life easy on earth as long as we keep control from self-destruction. The painful condition that is destroying cultivating system is that am unable to explain in English language due to lack of words and alphabet. In the language of Rabi one can understanding connection that the basic knowledge starts with nature. Sincerely, Ajmal Mehdi The People Party

BASIC MORAL PERFECTIONS

Moral Perfections Human life is based on a certain discipline for moral perfection. Our nature is based on the habits we learn from each others culture, faith and families. It is a loop of pleasure in the conscious that we weave everyday until it becomes so strong that we cannot break it. Bad habits must be broken and good ones acquired to establish human faith and moral virtues. In our language we believe that to gain knowledge one should use ears and eyes more then of the Tongue. I hope my readers understand the simple way of saying that eating less and drinking less will improve temperance. Speak less and avoid trifling conversation. All things have their places and time. Resolve the most urgent issue. Spend money and time to do good to others and yourself. Waste no moment of life. Live innocently and justly. Committing no crime. Adopt moderation. Adopt tranquility. Care for your chastity. Cleanliness of body, cloths and property is the most powerful I grew up in Multan Pakistan were I followed the basic order to enjoy every moment of life. My enjoyment for the twenty four hours of a neutral day started. 1. 5:00 AM Rise, wash and answer the prayer call from local mosque. 2. 6:00 AM Soccer field, walk or game. 3. 7:00 AM Breakfast. 4. 8.00 to 12:00 Work. 5. 12:00 to 1:00 Lunch , nap overlook minor things prayer. 6. 2:00 to 5:00 Work 7. 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Soccer, conversations, poetry, family dinner, television, prayer. 8. 10 pm to 4:00 am Sleep to recover memories and straight. Time went by quick and here I’m in America were we are hostage to money than healthy lifestyle. I grew up in a poor family in Pakistan with basic moral rules of life that respect your elders because they have more credit of prayers and love children because of their innocence. Those are the few rules of life I would like to share if anyone would take advantage of them. Human life is a constant struggle to reach light, one has to sacrifice certain pleasures to gain many virtues. Until this day i wonder behind the curtain of clouds a huge constellation and magnetism of matter and time.The truth is hiding behind a curtain of rumors and lack of knowledge. Spirituality is a journey from human being to be humane mutated for those who are uneducated of the force that guide life in oscillate condition with trust.

The People Party ask citizens and Secretary of the State for institute Change Americas politics in the past have always been about false promises made by the so called "leaders" we thought would bring change. the time has now come for politics to evolve for the better. It is time for individuals who did not have a privileged birth to take part and become leaders, make honest promises and make America a nation that others would look up to. This November 4th is in another chance for American Patriotic Citizens to decide our future of republic America not another Roman empire of fundamentalist who are ignoring moral and family values of our Constitution that is based on domestic tranquility. The people members and myself would like to request all Bristol Citizen to institute Change to set an example for other cities around our union.

We would request assistance from Secretary of the State office to help minor political party members who are independent.

Assalaam un Alaikum

Assalam un Alaikum Dear Brothers and Sisters, INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAYHI RAJIOON "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." (Al-Baqarah 2:156) My mother Syeda Kaneez Batool W/O syed Zaheer ul Islam passed away in- Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raji'oon). Please recite a Surah Al-Fātiĥah سورة الفاتح In The Name Of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful (1) All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.(2) The Beneficent, the Merciful.

It is the eminent brain for batter society and the library of knowledge. It is the sacred water of life that emerges with the seven colors of human diversity to dissolve racism. Human life is spiritual force of affirmations in which mother love the most beautiful museum of humanity. My muses is dedicated to my Mother Syeda Kaneez Batool who's prayer saved my life from many problems I faced after The Patriot Act. She thought me that Rosary keeps mind occupied in the loops of holiness. A great Mother, daughter, wife, grandmother name was BATOOL. Sincerely, Ajmal Mehdi

The Wrestling Match

The Wrestling Match Mr. Ghada and Mr. Haty are wrestler and bodybuilders. They undergo special training for a number of years before they are able to display their strength. A big wrestling match was arranged at the people pavilion. The champion wrestler was Mr. Ghada for the last four years and Mr. Haty who always wins after eight years. Competing against them were several minor wrestlers with same ideologies. A big arena was specially prepared for the match by Regular news media group to show the game. The reporters and their cameras were all around the athletes for the last three months before the match to brainwash the citizens about Mr. Ghada. Each player comes in extremely friendly before the match but after winning, turns untouchable until the next match. The contestants grappled with each other to show adversary on the back by his skill and strength of money. On the last day, champion wrestlers entered the arena by the beat of the drums from the same commentator of Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC to show victory and confidence in Mr. Ghada. The same spectators for years give loud cheers as they shook hands to gain another contract, job and profit from fixed match. Wrestlers were brave and strong as bulls. Mr. Ghada was short build and stocky compare to Mr. Haty who was tall and big. They grappled, they push and pulled each other to as real as possible. Now one lifted the other up and hurled him yards away. But he stood up again on his legs used his skill to throw his adversary on the side. Quick as lightning, he sat on his chest and in the next moment Mr. Ghada won again. Drums were beaten by the patriotic followers of Mr. Ghada. It was a real treat for me to see the wrestling. This wasn't the first time I saw this wrestling match and perhaps this will not be the last as long as referees are not independent and honest. Time goes by quick and here Im worry about my children's future, healthcare cost, insurance,energy, payroll, liabilities, taxes, competition , retirement benefit and worker compensation as long as business as usual continues.

Pine like manor? More like hell lake manor

We believe in freedom of the press and object to media censorship. We believe we have the responsibility to stay informed and the right to have resources for this available without restrictions. Pine like manor?
The Book of RABI explained in detail about Trees and environmental issues of future. More like hell lake manor I moved I to the condos across the street from pine lake about 15 years ago. I bought three units, lived in one and gave up the other two as rental property. Anyone who has been to the pine lake area knows that the place used to be a complete dump. After moving in and becoming president of the association, I cleaned the area up. $30,000 came out of my pocket to have it paved, painted, have lighting installed and have new mailboxes installed. As a nature lover I planted many trees and kept the association as green as possible. Although I was in crushing debt, the way the place looked after all the renovations made it well worth it. Eventually I sold one unit because with two children to support, I needed the money. Little did I know that the people who moved into that unit, would soon make everyone who lived in the condominiums life a living hell. I remained president for 11 years and everything kept running smoothly. After I stepped down and it was turn for someone else to take charge, everything went downhill. The new "management" decided that they wanted the association all to themselves.The patriot Act I was forced to sign while living here was part of Narrow minded American against ethnic Muslim minorities . They started by forcing one family to move out. This family had two great kids and never caused any problems and association still using their name at the Secretary of State business registration. After that unit was foreclosed my family started to be harassed. My kids couldn't play outside because my neighbor enjoyed taking pictures of them playing. When they weren't taking pictures, they were calling the police and DCF because apparently it is wrong for children to rake leaves in the fall or yell when they're having fun. Then one winter, when we got hit with the big blizzard, no one came to plow the parking lot and when I finally called someone to come so I could get to work I got screamed at in the face because even though I was president for 11 years, i have no right to make such decisions. What truly bothers me about the 'management' is that they hate nature. They take whatever chance they can get to rush outside and start chopping down trees. And what's crazy is that there is never a vote or meeting to decide this! Just two years ago, on Easter Sunday, 7 trees were removed. As if when route 72 was being built enough trees weren't cut down. The trees that are removed are perfectly healthy and if anything need to be trimmed. I may not be an environmentalist but anyone with half a brain knows that trees are vital to the planet. I strongly advise anyone to refrain from moving to Pine Lake Manor because if you're like me and value you're dignity, you don't want to live here. The current 'management' sucks and get kicks out of taking pictures of random children, chopping down healthy trees and being harassing others. Sincerely, Ajmal Mehdi

Ideological Principle

The modern direction of development is Americas goal for democracy by eliminating the minorities participation through minor political parties which will produce hate and fear. It is time to echo the true ideological principal of life for Americans by defending freedom from brutal democratic fundamentalist who keep certain ethnic minorities in financial slavery. Humanity is struggling because various kinds of dictatorships in which laws are monopolized for political reasons. The Phenomena of poverty, health, war, global warming, earth, children and racial issues are connected with the current method of dividing wealth, education and health. We The People Party know that our universe does not contain anything that cannot be known, only certain things that are still unknown will be discover in near future. The most important knowledge to know is that we are part of superior matter and changing material. Therefore, We have the responsibility to teach respect for life which is the correct diagnosis of the illness for social system. The festival of American freedom is based on superior matter from our forefathers who sacrificed their lives to gain knowledge of theory and philosophy. Our young generation in schools are unaware of spiritual matter which is the phenomena of material pleasure by racing with machines and toys . The matter is unlimited but material is limited to time . The pain that is contributing for the people party is that the rule of the majority is based on color not knowledge. The people party's method of teaching moral values and humanity can give a realistic purpose of achieving complete fulfillment of internal life for social uplifting of diverse society if given the opportunity to bring change. We the people party members and myself believe that it is time to jog every American conscious to have to show them that there are more political ideologies than those who are in monarchy for two hundred thirty eight years by appointing chief Supreme Court Justices to keep control of Justice system by manipulating laws of the free land. Sincerely, Ajmal Mehdi The people party of Connecticut http://www.thepeopleparty.info

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS FOR MINORITIES

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS FOR MINOR POLITICAL PARTIES AND MINORITIES. Email conversation in between a Editor and Minor Political Party to publish the letter to the Editor but some editors are forced not to publish letters of Citizen who are part of minor political party or minorities.

Sometimes the English language does not contain the words and phrases to express a topic that other languages are able to do so easily. I would just appreciate it if you could publish the original article because I don't think if I was to write this article in a language that expresses it fully, it would be published.

The State of Missouri has very simple filing procedure less then three minutes to run for the house of Representative. The fee is 100 dollars now was 50 in 80,s . Requirement Responsible Citizen of the State and this Country. President Obama Mother was born in Missouri she always promoted Peace. Answer 2. National Democratic Institute is the organization out of Washington DC to educate, upgrade and monitor Elections around the Globe except The United States approved and told by The Republicans and Democratic leadership 20 years ago. They should help here in our country for minor parties and Independent voters Who are hostage to two party system and their primaries. Answer 3. Since we borrowed the voting Machines and counting system from Australia it's needed to be changed voting process and absently ballot can be run for week or more by third party .

THE ENVIRONMENT

The Environment The People parties main concern for the future are environmental issues and health concerns that will arise. We should never forget that we are a part of nature. The 12 plates of rocks underneath our earth that rotate slowly take in and excrete energy. The first layer of the earth, humus, comes from the fossils fuels from trees, animals and cemeteries that have been around for thousands of years. The satellites in the atmosphere have gotten to be so much that they are just left in space affecting the ozone layer. The satellites, the large number of them, cover and block out the suns rays in some areas. In the 21st century, in our language we believe that without humus we would not be able to produce much food to serve humanity. The People Party members and myself sincerely believe that we need to upgrade our energy conception system for each household in the United States so we never lose power. The combustion engines need to be upgraded to save energy and environmental crisis. Road structures and the paving systems should be renovated utilizing magnetic technology that will help produce energy for tires for transportation. We have the knowledge to reduce the energy crisis if given the opportunity to upgrade our lifestyle. Sincerely, Ajmal Mehdi The People Party www.thepeopleparty.info

The People Party: Ajmal Mehdi promotes his party for the minority

The People Party: Ajmal Mehdi promotes his party for the minority Story Tools Email to a friend Print version 27 comment(s) Wednesday, March 12, 2014 4:49 PM EDT By STEVE COLLINS STAFF WRITER BRISTOL — It’s not easy to squeeze a new political party into an electoral system that’s been dominated by two major parties for most of American history. But Ajmal “Lucky” Mehdi, a Center Street convenience store owner, is trying to beat the odds. “America needs independent people, not just two sides,” Mehdi said while standing behind the counter of his small downtown market. Mehdi, who lost a longshot bid for a city registrar’s position in 2012, is still hoping to land a city office where he could promote the interest of the People Party he created more than a decade ago to battle the Patriot Act and fight for ordinary people. Mehdi said the People Party hasn’t been able to gain official recognition despite his efforts. But it appears that he’s probably wrong about that. State law provides that if a petitioning candidate runs for a municipal position and gets more than 1 percent of the vote under a party banner, then it becomes a recognized minor party in that town. In the 2012 race, Mehdi racked up 806 votes from among 21,854 cast in the registrars’ race won by Democrat Mary Rydingsward and Republican Sharon Krawiecki. That amounts to nearly 4 percent of the total vote, enough to lock in official status for Mehdi’s People Party. Mehdi still needs to file party rules with the secretary of state, but that’s a simple process, officials said. The advantage of recognition is that when the next election rolls around, a candidate nominated by that party doesn’t have to gather signatures through what can be a cumbersome petitioning process. Mehdi said people need to have access to minor parties so they can break the logjam created by two major parties that don’t pay enough attention to the “very poor people” who need help. “Other political party members are rich and powerful based on relationship and jobs,” he said. “They don’t have any idea how common American citizens are surviving day by day.” In Connecticut, there are four minor parties with statewide recognition: the Green, Independent, Libertarian and Working Families parties. At the municipal level, though, there are many more across the state, most of them focused on a particular town or city. Mehdi, who filed for bankruptcy recently, said that to advance the democratic system, the city should “arrange a job” for him so he can devote his attention to promoting the People Party and its platform. “I’m not looking for a million dollars. I’m looking for a basic job,” said Mehdi, who has lived in Bristol for two decades. A native of Pakistan, he holds an associate’s degree in patient care technology. Mehdi has worked in a variety of retail and computer-related positions over the years before opening his convenience store, which has signs both inside and outside touting the People Party and its promotion of “freedom, peace and justice.” For more information about his party, see its website at humanfealty.com or its Facebook page.

Give me a break, you want the city government to "create" a position for you to help you finance and push your agenda. No way this should happen. Despite what others have said this is not the American Way. We are not supposed to look to the government for hand outs like this. This is one of the many reasons this country is going down the drain, the mentality of give me give me give me instead of "no, it's okay, I've got this.

I did after what Cool Hand Luke posted, that lawsuit in itself is pretty crazy. It's shocking what this guy is ranting about in petitions and blogs online. Is the B-Press afraid to publish his background out of fear that he'll sue them like he did to the paper in New Haven?

Where exactly did you get your facts that "people from the Middle East want to kill Americans"? Here's a brilliant idea, go pick up a book and actually learn about the middle eastern people rather than being, for the lack of a better word, stupid and believing all the bad stuff you read online. How would you like to be spied on and suspected of being a terrorist even though you are an American citizen? As for this guy and his party, he has a point. America is all about democrats and republicans. Not one other party has been given the opportunity to even run in an election. America is all about freedom yet when someone actually wants to make a change, he is unable to. Where's the freedom in this? People should really stop with the hatred of middle eastern individuals and give them a chance. Last time I checked, us Americans aren't exactly "perfect" either.

However he comes from a politically corrupt Pakistan where politics and patronism go hand in hand. Unfortunately America now more closely resembles his concept of Spoils-based politics. Why does he not just join the DemoNcrats? Or if he were truly motivated by Love of Liberty, the Libertarian party? " Report Abuse Athena wrote on Mar 15, 2014 1:28 PM: " The idea of having a minor party in this city is a great idea. The republican and Democratic Party are the only two people are aware of in this town. If Mr. Mehdi did get the required votes, then he should have gotten the voter registrar job. If 800 or so people find vote for him then that means a part of bristol is in fact in favor of his ideas. America is so far behind compared to countries such as China, India and other various middle eastern countries where the majority of the PHDs living here come from. His idea of opening a branch of a major university in downtown bristol is also understandable. There will be new jobs introduced and downtown will thrive with the new population.
