The NAAP was originally formed three years prior with international cooperation (primarily from the U.K. through Opus Breeze). It was formed with a key interest of acting as a unified voice representative of America and its’ people. We were recognized by the State of California on March 30, 2005 and certified as a 501(c)(3) by the IRS on May 12, 2005. Established and quickly gaining momentum, The NAAP’s chief priorities are two-fold: 1) to promote those companies/groups who help or benefit the American people, and 2) to draw attention to that which advances America.
As our mission statement relates, The NAAP covers every aspect of improving America; we focus on achieving what is best for America and its people. But first, we have to bring relevant issues and pressing concerns to your attention; that which is not only relevant, but vital. As a national association, we cannot take direct stances on issues one way or the other; however, we can educate, research, inform, and advocate issues on behalf of the American people. Our aim is to give a balanced view on all prevailing positions, and offer our suggestion based on the facts.
The NAAP strengthens America by targeting every area we can. One of the chief sectors that affect American life is the corporate sector. For this reason, we place a heavy emphasis on highlighting those corporations that are in accordance with the aims of The NAAP. In addition, we also take an interest in issues outside the United States. The NAAP realizes that on a global scale, all our actions are intrinsically connected on some level. What affects one, affects us all. Therefore, we take a strong interest in foreign affairs. The NAAP reserves significant attention for international practices, especially in regards to how they affect the American people.

To Resurrect the Voice of the American People
For the past few years, several key individuals' and groups' collaborative efforts gave rise to The National Association of the American People. We sought to organize a group that would assert the growing concerns we all share within our society. Whether the issues range from politics, society, race, sex, culture, education, etc., the fact remains that many paramount issues fundamental to our society are either being completely ignored or underestimated. There are issues that reveal a disturbing truth about the deteriorating condition of our society, yet they are rhetorically manipulated by many. It is we the people who ultimately pay the price for the mass manipulation we are facing. As a society, we are being 'dumbed down'. It is the primary aim of The NAAP to reverse this process.
Based on vigilance in addressing the status of American society, The NAAP invites you to be a part of a movement of panoramic proportions. A non-profit, non-partisan group, the organization seeks the progress of the American people by looking to promote improvements within American society. The NAAP recognizes that as a world community, our actions are intrinsically connected. Propelled by this understanding, we seek to shape a new course for America, to engage in a synergetic commitment to values by taking the initiative needed to forge a new path. Only in taking the necessary measures to move forward through acting candidly on topics of interest, through creating a public forum of discussion and action, can we hope to dissolve disparity and empower ourselves, and reclaim our voice, our rights, and ourselves.
It is the interest of The NAAP to represent the American People. We are witness to a momentum of sociopolitical struggles, and strive to reverse this flux and redirect to a path where principals guide actions. In this endeavor, your patronage and voice are welcomed. Together, we look forward to building strong relationships with a variety of community groups. We welcome you as part of our growing movement, to regain the confidence of the people and to breathe life back into the ideals which gave birth to America.
Signed,
Shireen Qudosi
President, The National Association of the American People

Holding Responsible Media and Corporate America
 The NAAP strengthens America by targeting every area we can. One of the chief sectors that affect American life is the corporate sector. For this reason, we place a heavy emphasis on highlighting those corporations that are in accordance with the aims of The NAAP as far as a commitment to equity and fair play is maintained.
Corporate America plays a significant role in the lives of the American people. This responsibility is shared with the media, who are direct influencers of the American people. For these reasons it is crucial to hold both areas responsible and in turn recognize them when they act in the best interest of the people.
We hold media accountable for inaccurate or bias reporting. It is the responsibility of the media to maintain journalistic integrity and uphold a far higher standard. On both counts, not only will we make regressions or advancements made public, but we also extend maintaining a high caliber in business and media to outside the United States.
The NAAP realizes that on a global scale, all our actions are intrinsically connected on some level. We reserve significant attention for international practices, especially in regards to how they affect the American people.
However, these initiatives can only be most effectively implemented if they have your support.

 The NAAP is the largest association in the United States, as all Americans are inherent members. But they can assume a higher role by becoming a greater part in helping their country, and letting their country help them.
