Muhammad Ali Hasan files in SD-8

From ToTheRight.

October 11, 2007 (Eagle County) — Eagle County resident and political news commentator Muhammad Ali Hasan has filed as a candidate for Colorado State Senate District 8 with the Secretary of State. While a final decision on a run for the seat is not expected until January, Hasan has decided to move forward in the process to adhere to state campaign laws and to allow for more liberty in exploring his options.

“I have a deep respect for campaign laws,” Hasan said. “Since there is no provision for exploratory committees is Colorado, filing shows everyone I am serious about thoroughly evaluating a possible run. I plan to use the next few months to have conversations with residents and local party leadership before making my final decision.”

Hasan has an extensive background in political commentating for national news networks and as a political activist. Locally, Hasan was a founding member of the Eagle County Young Republicans, served as their first president, and currently serves on the Eagle County Republicans Finance Committee. Hasan holds a Masters degree and is a former public school teacher to extremely low-income, urban students.

Senate District 8, currently represented by term limited Republican Jack Taylor, includes all of Eagle, Jackson, Moffat, Rio Blanco and Routt counties, as well as parts of Garfield county. Hasan said he believes he could bring new energy, ideas and a commitment to be an advocate for the issues that matter most in Senate District 8.


Hasan’s high energy and interest in local issues is appealing, said business owner Rick Spencer of Routt County. The two met on several occasions as Hasan traveled the district, and Spencer said Hasan “leaves an impression.”

“He is highly energetic and he seems very curious,” Spencer said. “He gets very involved in things and is really working hard to get in step with what is going on here and what matters to our counties.”

Jeannie Ford Artez of Glenwood Springs said she is also impressed by Hasan’s energy and eagerness.

“Though I haven’t decided who to endorse yet, personally I think he is a terrific young man who is very bright,” Artez said. “I have very much enjoyed meeting with him and I look forward to seeing what he is going to do.”

This kid cant even find someone to endorse him for his press release? He is a political joke

John Galt said...

I disagree, just a press release that wasn't thought out fully.

From what I have seen of him, thus far, he has shown to be be very articulate and willing to take constructive criticism. If he can show that he will stand up for conservative ideals both on the campaign trail and once he is elected then he will earn my support.

Notice how White staffers are trolling the internet attacking Hasan for frivolous things. Makes me think White is worried about losing to a 26 year old.

he should be worried, if it ends up w/ just White and Hasan in the primary then Hasan will have some major firepower behind him w/ the conservative groups in CO. assuming he is smart enough to ask for their help.

Wow. I went to college with this guy. The notion that he could hold public office is horrifying. Mr. Hasan, is merely an egomaniac. In his lesser moments, he is an egomaniac willing sacrifice the good of others for his own self promotion.
I work on Capitol Hill, and I know well the scum that inhabits public office. Mr. Hasan is far worse than that scum.

I also went to College with Ali Hasan, and I would have to rectify what was said previously. The problem with the former commment is that this person is indeed surrounded by Washington scum, and assumes Hasan will do the same. I know for a fact that Hasan is committed to change, is extremely innovative, and I am excited for this District. I wish he was running in my district! I think his committment to personal liberties, conservative ideals, and to helping others (his past dedication as a public school teacher), is not only demonstrative of of the great leader and change he can bring to the district, but also the important the great politician this kid has the ability to become. If I were White, I would be shaking in those Gucci shoes!

Mr. Hasan is what America needs at this moment, he is charming, smart, educated, young and willing to accede all limits to help community and US nation. He is a breath of fresh breeze, and seems extremely down to earth. I saw him on tv and I was impress by him. He has incredible knowledge of politics. He representation of America is based of the ideology which our forefathers left behind. America land of the FREE

Letter to the editor:
Ali... AKA Muhammad ALI Hasan, and the web he weaves...
LOL It is not the first time he has done these things, I am sure will not be the last. I have insight to Mr. Hasan's "Really bad behavior" Much like Allison's Miller's story, The Westword article and many points, in life Ali lacks respect for anything at the end of the day, including his faith and his parents, much less
"We the People." It is all a game he simply wants to win at any cost. The Westword story was telling of a spoiled little rich boy, and the womanizing pompous guy "who wants to be king." It was for me, a true and eye opening insight on Mr. Hasan's real side in the quotes alone, and of his disregard for anyone else but himself. But who's fault is it? We perpetuated it to a degree when we do not put our foot down.
Opera had an amazing saying someone told her "When people show you their real self believe them the first time." Money and politics often cloud our judgment. But it is not the only factor with Ali. He is a charmer to both men and women. He knows what to say and how to say it to keep you on his side. and if that doesn't work, he equally knows how to harass you, or whip out the American Express card.

I have known Ali both personally and intimately. Ali, is all about the "me, myself, and I," his master of mental manipulation. His ego ... in the end will be his biggest telling enemy. He is a liability to which ever party he speaks to.

First let me tell you of when I spent some personal time with Mr. Hasan. He told me his conquest for politics was driven by his parents or better known as "His closest Advisors" on his team. They are more like the puppet masters with the deep pockets. I have come to know from reading Westword's profile article and the time I have spent dealing with Hasan himself. I was festinated by Mr. Hasan as a declared devout Muslim, and being Jewish, for him to say to me his "passion was for world peace, bringing all people together, unity." ... I was suckered right in for more. He gave me a breakdown of his ambition in Colorado. The Senate now, the Governors office in 2010. A wide open space with his name on it. How could you not be charmed by all that passion for good? He asked me to work on an idea I gave him for marketing his movie and turning it into a feature by "Talk Backs" with religious leaders and public" he said "lets do it, how much, I will write the check."
A creative, handsome, leader who wanted to save the world through, (as he put it) rose colored glasses! What more could we want. He pitched his "involvement" and "I've been there first hand" in the poor areas when teaching as "Understanding the poor and struggling," he gave examples of his many businesses, along with what he called a development holding company with money just sitting there, he had no time to get to yet ... and the scientific side of his accomplishments. I thought the messiah had come in this 27 year old.
But over weeks and now months the truth has shown itself many times over.

Lets look at some facts:

Mr. Hasan kept a "girlfriend" in both Los Angeles, and Colorado, all while courting other liaisons. He had gotten one pregnant, and disclosed to a friend "They had to have a miscarriage" of course that was after saying if their relationship didn't work out he could always just pay childsupport, also after the statement he would not tell his mother because the pregnancy may not last being it was just the first month he wanted to see how it played out.

Mr. Hasan discloses in a heartbeat proudly of his "Heart being broken" as he did recently in Los Angeles at a film festival but following it up with "don't feel too bad, I cheated. My fiance left and went into an arranged marriage after we tried to work it out." That girl was probably the smartest of us all. One thing Mr. Hasan seems to be ... relentless when he wants something, he loves the hunt and he loves the kill. The truth is with women he has no respect, he wants us all to be his "dirty little sluts." At that same festival he introduced his lead actress with a story. "You all wanna hear how I casted her?" as we all said no. he continued "I casted her in my first project because I thought she was hot" continuing again "Luckily I found out later she could act too." I repped this actress at the time. The implications alone appalled me. I had to send him a letter explaining the sexual harassment nature he had displayed in those public statements that humiliated that actress," in rebellious emails his "your not the boss of me" type replies, and consequent exchanges of me putting him on notice if not stopped, I would be forced to go to the media and school the film was made, and, to express his public stories and behavior and their effects to enforce the rights that were clearly in violation. He then turned to the actress much like Miller and harassed her, through phone calls at 3 AM, text, and emails till she caved and wrote the waiver he demanded. I was sickened. But Mr. Hasan often gets his way, as Hasan has the weight of his intentions of taking this film to feature that also plays on the actress.

At that same LA film fest, Mr. Hasan tired to let us know many things during this talkback on the film. In the same presentation Hasan disclosed he was close to getting kicked out of that film school several times because of his slacking and screwing up.. Mr. Hasan tried to explain to the group his Muslin heritage which he said held Christian, and Jewish roots to his "Mostly" Sufi Muslim following. But it was the political turn that was a manipulative eye opener when Mr. Hasan in what was likely a room full of young liberals said, "Yea I am running as a republican in Colorado for the house," when telling us the democratic party was trying to say his film glorified Suicide bombing. Then suggesting he had a liberal outlook. He totally sidestepped his party in my eyes in that moment for personal gain at a film festival ... wow.
He stood up and introduced himself as "An award winning director" the next night at the awards portioned where he lost in the directors category, and shouted out love to his LA girlfriend, while Miller was back in Colorado. This is just the tip of the iceberg called HASAN the want to be Governor of Colorado, and president of the USA.
The family is politically savvy because they can afford to be. But can our country afford it's consequences and be romanced by it?
Hasan's record of boasting? ... I did the math. He is 27 he has not yet sustained success in any area of his life. 2 years on this 2 on that. But no real life experience to grasp all of America. He has never had to want for anything except women and power. And that he turned into a movie. Funny his most success is in the world of womanizing, and conquests. Trust that behind closed door Hasan gets even more interesting! His email laughably says it all on his view of himself: hasandaddymac@mac.com

The moral ... there is more to this story, and there is proof ... I fully support Ms. Miller and her move to stand up for what is right. Protect her family, against Hasan. "The boy who would be king"
Maybe it is time we protect this country. When I first met Hasan, I told him "Don't expect me to be walking shrouded behind you anytime soon" ... I guess he took it as a challenge. So now I ask WHO, and HOW is the real Hasan ... will we ever really know? He claims right in his directors reel on "Rabia" he is an _sshole, I say now "will the real Muhammad ALI Hasan please stand up?"

Like Opera said "When someone shows you their REAL self..."

If you would like email samples of that man ... hit me up. It's hours of amusement!

it is truly sad that Ali, like his sister, has to stoop to writing favorable posts about himself (see above a couple posts).

opera?

or Oprah?

Someone should ask Ali and the hasan family what they did to his family after his grandmother died, if this guy talks about love so much he didn't love his relatives, it is sad, and what they did was out of greed!!!!

Seriously, some of these comments are so ridiculous.

Don't believe anything Constance says above. Regarding comments about Alison Miller, Miller asked for a restraining order against Hasan, which was later withdrawn and vacated. As the website below talks about, Miller was likely trying to smear Hasan:

Hasan did great in the HD56 race and is very beloved here in Eagle County.
