Fact: Being a Muslim Encompasses all faiths.

"How are you Muslim, but accepting jahiliyyah as a lifestyle?"

it's essential first to understand the term jahiliyyah.

Jahiliyyah is an Arabic word that translates to "ignorance" or "the state of ignorance."

In the Islamic context, it specifically refers to the period before the revelation of the Quran, when people lived without the guidance of Islam.

This era is often characterized by practices and beliefs that go against Islamic teachings.

So, the question is asking how someone can claim to be Muslim—following the teachings of Islam—while simultaneously living in a way that aligns with ignorance or un-Islamic practices.

It challenges the idea of maintaining a Muslim identity while accepting or engaging in behaviors and beliefs that are contrary to the principles of Islam.

The question is meant to provoke thought about the consistency between one's faith and actions, encouraging a reflection on whether one's lifestyle truly reflects Islamic values or if it is influenced by un-Islamic traditions and habits.

Message to the SOAR Lateral Program, et al:

Excessive Fines Imposed by the Water Authority:

The Greater Johnstown Water Authority has imposed high fines on consumers, further exacerbating the financial strain on residents.

For example, late fees, reconnection fees, and penalties for non-compliance with the SOAR Lateral Program can amount to hundreds of dollars, a significant burden for low-income families.

According to recent fee schedules published by the Water Authority, the fines include:

Non-Compliance Surcharge: $75.00

Late Payment Fee: $50 for each late payment.

Reconnection Fee: $150 for re-establishing service after disconnection.

Non-Compliance Penalty: $500 for failing to comply with the lateral program requirements.

My Political Platform:

Imagine a bird soaring high in the sky, representing the American descendants of slavery (ADOS) also known as, Negro, African American, and Colored People, Blacks.

This bird has two wings, each crucial for maintaining its balance and direction: the left wing symbolizes the Democratic Party, and the right-wing represents the Republican Party.

Without one wing, the bird cannot fly; it will spiral downwards, losing its ability to navigate and progress.

Just as the bird relies on both wings to achieve lift and sustain flight, ADOS must engage with both political parties to be politically relevant in the United States.

The left-wing, with its focus on social justice and progressive reforms, provides the bird with the power to push forward, advocating for equality and systemic change.

The right-wing, emphasizing economic freedom and conservative values, offers the strength to maintain stability and traditional foundations.

Only by working in concert, with each wing contributing its unique force, can the bird ascend to new heights.

In the same way, ADOS needs to interact with and influence both political spectrums, ensuring that their voices are heard and their needs are addressed from all angles.

This balanced engagement empowers the community to soar, navigate political landscapes, and achieve meaningful progress in their fight for justice and equality.

Now you know!

In politics, electing candidates is like choosing a mirror that reflects your values and priorities.

Just as we instinctively look for our image first in a photograph, we seek candidates who most closely represent our beliefs, needs, and aspirations, ensuring they will act in ways that benefit us and our communities.

Who speaks up for you concerning potential candidates?

Political Action Committees, or PACs, are like groups of people who help choose leaders who will do good things for us.

Imagine you and your friends picking someone to be in charge of your playtime.

PACs help to pick grown-ups who will make rules and decisions that make life better for everyone, just like how you want the best person in charge of your games.

The NAACP Branch 2266 in Johnstown, PA, has actively engaged in various community activities, such as hosting the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration and organizing "Day of Action" events aimed at community engagement and advocacy.

However, there are no specific records indicating when the last Political Action Committee (PAC) event was held by this branch.

For more detailed and current information, you can contact the branch directly or visit https://pastatenaacp.org/j-k/

In Cambria County, including Johnstown, Pennsylvania, identifying candidates who have done specific work for the African American community requires a closer look at their actions and policies.

Frank Burns:
As a long-serving state legislator, Frank Burns has worked on several initiatives for economic development and job creation, which indirectly benefit the African American community.

His advocacy for tax breaks for working families and his efforts to keep businesses open during the pandemic are examples of his work that can support economic stability for all residents, including African Americans​ (DLCC)​. However, specific initiatives targeting the African American community in Johnstown were not highlighted in available sources. https://dlcc.org/candidates/frank-burns/

Thomas C. Chernisky:

Serving multiple terms as a Cambria County Commissioner, Chernisky has been involved in various community and economic development projects.

His role in community health and safety initiatives, as well as his involvement with the Cambria County Drug Coalition, shows his commitment to addressing issues that disproportionately affect African American communities, such as substance abuse and public health​ (Cambria County, PA)​.

While his contributions are significant, there are no specific records of targeted programs exclusively for African Americans in Johnstown.

Amy Bradley:

While Amy Bradley's professional background and her role as a candidate show community involvement, there is no specific evidence or record of her addressing issues uniquely affecting the African American community in Johnstown​ (Vote | WPSU)​. https://vote.wpsu.org/candidates/383/
