FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin and Carol Marin of NBC Chicago take off the gloves.

Marin slings lies at Andy, he flings back the truth and exposes the liberal lioness as a lying lioness

Contact NBC and demand they put the full 45-minute interview on the net!!!

(CHICAGO)(December 31, 2009) Pompous, arrogant media liberal Carol Marin thought she was going to promote Mark Kirk’s senate campaign by manhandling Andy Martin in a 5-minute interview New Year’s Eve at NBC Chicago. Martin turned the tables on Marin and launched a verbal attack on Marin at the NBC 5 studio. Martin put Marin through a buzz saw and administered the strongest chastisement of Marin’s media career, exposing Marin as a liar and fraud who used bogus questions and misleading facts to attack Martin.

The five-minute interview turned into a 45-minute verbal slugfest between the two veteran broadcasters. Martin has over forty (40) years of radio and TV experience and Marin is a relative newcomer with 30 years behind her.

“Marin started out by lying about my military record,” Martin says. “I have an Honorable Discharge and I am very proud of that fact. I took the oath of enlistment at the age of 18. Marin was trying to suggest that the dirty tricks of the Illinois Supreme Court in trying to retaliate against me for helping to remove two corrupt judges from that court somehow undermined my military record.

“I offered Marin a copy of my Honorable Discharge but she wasn’t interested in the truth. She wants to wallow in her liberal Democrat lies.

“Both in public records, which unlike Mark Kirk I have fully opened to the public, and in private classified service to my country, my record of service is unparalleled. I will not let a liberal hatchet lady like Marin slander me or any other veteran.

“Of course, yesterday Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times, Marin’s colleague, ‘endorsed’ Mark Kirk as the ‘new Dick Durbin.’ What an ‘endorsement’ for a Republican candidate. Kirk should repudiate Steinberg’s ‘endorsement,’ but he won’t. Kirk is a liberal Democrat, not a conservative Republican. He relies on his media toadies such as Marin to protect him from viewers and voters.

“Marin for her part is an arrogant, pompous phony who is totally in Mark Kirk's back pocket, along with the rest of Chicago’s liberal media elite. They are a bunch of lying, self-important losers, most of whose companies are losing money or in bankruptcy. That's what the public thinks of them. They are tuning out Marin's lies. People have stopped buying local newspapers.

“Marin falsely accused me of claiming Barack Obama was not an American citizen. She owes me an on-the-air apology for her lack of professionalism. I have never made that claim about Obama. On the contrary, I sued to obtain Obama's birth certificate in Honolulu. Marin was trying to suggest I am a 'birther,' an invented media slur, which I am not. I have legitimate questions about Obama, but suggesting he was not born in Hawai'i is not one of them.

“Marin behaved disgracefully in trying to defraud her viewers about my record. I have debunked claims Obama was born outside the United States. That's why Obama hates me so much. I am scrupulously honest when writing about his secret life, and I have never stooped to his level to tell lies about him.

“Marin was ‘loaded with lies’ and I was ‘loaded for bear’ with the truth. I demolished her obnoxious TV presence.

“I challenge NBC to play the entire interview unedited, as well as Comcast and the Sun-Times. Play it all Carol, give your viewers the truth for a change,” Martin challenges. "We may sue to force release of the entire tape.

“I will not let liberal media in Chicago attack and malign honest American who fights corruption; I have a distinguished record of accomplishments and public service that neither Carol Marin nor Mark Kirk can approach (www.AndyMartin.com). Efforts to protect Kirk by attacking me are backfiring and boomeranging on the media.

“Marin was literally punch drunk at the end. She kept throwing low blows, and I kept deflecting them back in her face with the truth. She knew she had been exposed as a fraud. I am sure she will try to fix the tape and edit it out of context, but we will be in touch with NBC lawyers on Monday to assert our common law copyright to the material.

“Carol Marin got a preview of how I intend to fight back against liberal media bias as Illinois’ new U. S. Senator in Washington. Liars like Marin have had a free ride from Republicans for far too long. Today I served notice on that media phony she can’t lie about me,” Martin says.

“If Illinois Republicans want a fighter to represent them, today’s battle with liberal lioness Marin left no doubt I am the only fighter running for U. S. Senator. Ironically, I had warned NBC when we scheduled the interview that I was coming in ready to battle, and I made good on my promise. Play it all, Carol.”

Did Senator Jim DeMint encourage Tea Party corruption in Illinois?

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says sleazy politicians have gained control over Illinois Tea Party organizations


U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Senator Jim DeMint has encouraged corruption of the “Tea Party” movement in Illinois

Martin says that sleazy Illinois politicians such as Patrick Hughes have bribed and cajoled Tea Party “leaders”

ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THURSDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

Andy Martin says that Patrick Hughes may be engaged in “wholesale violations of federal election laws”

Martin says the Tea Party movement in Illinois has been thoroughly corrupted by self-interest and insider deal-making

“The ‘citizens’ movement’ died in less than a year,” Martin says.

Martin is welcoming supporters of other senate candidates to join his surging campaign, but “no pay-to-play is involved; either they join us on a moral basis, or we don’t want them. We do not engage in Hughes-style cash-and-carry corruption of the process”

Martin has scheduled “D-Day #2” for January 6, 2010 for a new anti-Mark Kirk “bunker buster”

(CHICAGO)(December 31, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Thursday, December 31st to accuse another senate candidate of corrupting and undermining the “Tea Party” movement in Illinois.

“It didn’t take long for Illinois politicians to corrupt so-called ‘Tea Party’ leaders,” Martin charges. “Patrick Hughes and others have merely moved their ‘pay-to-play’ gimmicks into the unsophisticated arena of ‘Tea Party” committees. It appears to me that there are wholesale violations of federal election laws being committed by Hughes and his coconspirators. Of course, in Illinois politics breaking the law is routine.

“A Mark Kirk supporter has offered a devastating indictment of Hughes and his supporters as ‘idiotic’ and ‘crazy:’
http://www.frumforum.com/hijacking-the-tea-party

That’s not the half of it.

“The Will County/Joliet/Homer Tea Party movement is spending thousands of dollars to oppose federal candidates without adequate compliance with federal election law. Hughes was caught red-handed in election law violations in November. He is a habitual offender.

“Hughes’ supporters are falsely claiming they are conducting a 'Stop Mark Kirk Rally.’ Is fraud any more acceptable when it is conducted by self-styled amateurs? No one seriously suggests that Hughes can even stop at a stop sign, let alone stop Kirk. The entire event he is promoting is a complete scam. We are considering whether to deploy pickets to warn people of Hughes' machinations. This is the same Hughes who falsely claimed Mike Ditka was serving on his 'Finance Committee,' and who said he had hundreds of thousands of dollars of ‘commitments’ that soon disappeared.

“Now the sponsors of the ‘country club’ event are trying to rope Fox News into covering this illegal assembly.

“The back story is interesting. When I attended a forum of this group in December, other candidates told me Hughes had ‘bought the support of these people,’ and that the questions being asked in the supposedly impartial forum were nothing more than sham questions previously orchestrated by Hughes. That turned out to be the case. In other words, the Tea Party promoters were conducting a completely fraudulent and fixed-in-advance event. That is no way to develop and encourage public integrity.

“The Tea Party movement was supposed to encourage independent citizen participation, and not fall under the domination or control of particular candidates. In Illinois, the opposite has happened. Hughes has claimed ‘endorsements’ from mysterious ‘Tea Party’ groups whose existence is impossible to verify. They apparently meet in secret.

“Hughes is not the only offender. A Kane County group mysteriously appeared out of nowhere. I attended a Tea Party event in Kane County, and a handful of people were there. Now they mysteriously claim ‘300 precinct committeemen,’ which is a suspiciously large number, are active. Again, this Tea Party operation met in secret and without any public notice. An attempt to Google the group produced nothing.

“On and on it goes. The following are obvious.

“First, the Tea Parties are apparently used to collect names and e-mail addresses, and this information is then bartered by small control groups for their own political benefit. Second, in my opinion, a group that is spending thousands of dollars to oppose Kirk has to file detailed reports with the federal government.

“Third the national Tea Party movement has been accused of collecting money that is then largely directed to fund raising operators. In other words, the movement has become identical to many similar suspicious charities that have been shut down by state authorities for acting as virtual conduits of professional fund raising operators.

“I obviously can’t speak to what I happening in other states. But in Illinois the Tea Party movement has fallen under the control of small groups of insiders that are vulnerable to special influence pressures and self-interested decision-making.

“One of the things I am very fastidious about in my campaign is transparency. We do nothing anonymously. Everything has my name on it or it does not go out the door. We do not do deals in secret or in private. We do not engage in pay-to-play. My campaign is a genuine grass roots citizens' movement with volunteer supporters across the state. We don’t pay for endorsements. Obviously, my standards are much higher than Hughes or the sleazy ‘consultants’ who have guided his campaign into the ditch.

"The good news is that even though Hughes has corrupted Tea Parties and corrupted the campaign process, his campaign has died on the vine. The Republican senate primary has become a two-man race between me and Mark Kirk. Hughes’ dirty tricks and hundreds of thousands of dollars of personal spending produced nothing but embarrassment, corruption and ineffective results.

“Senator Jim DeMint has encouraged this coarsening and corruption of Tea Parties in Illinois by encouraging Hughes to buy and bribe his way to political support. DeMint has not helped conservatives in Illinois. The DeMint model is a failure in our state. Not only is Hughes not ‘going anywhere,’ his campaign activity is going backwards.

“We are offering a second ‘welcome period’ to Hughes supporters to join the most dynamic conservative making in the entire United States: Andy Martin for U. S. Senator,” Martin says.

Seventy-two hours that continues to change American politics

Dear Illinois Republican:

Almost every Republican candidate likes to wrap himself or herself in the mantle of our beloved President Ronald Reagan. But while many aspire, few can achieve what Reagan did. He created a virtual third party, the “Reagan Democrats.”

“Reagan Democrats” terrorized the labor bosses in this country, because working people voted for a man who stood for economic opportunity and an optimistic vision of America’s future.

This week the ACORN-related labor bosses started attacking me with their usual drum roll of media-inspired lies and distortions. Why are they afraid of me?

Here is my answer to their distortions:

I am not any of the unseemly things your writer accuses me of, and the voters know both the extreme left and corrupt corporate right are lying about me.

I am a pro-labor, pro-working families Republican who blends social conservatism with social activism on behalf of people who have been raped and abandoned by the Wall Street majordomos in BOTH major parties (your Obama received more Wall Street money than McCain). The labor bosses might not support me, but your members do and will increasingly join my progressive team to return Illinois to glory.

I am the only candidate in either party with a rational plan to rebuild the economy of this state and create good jobs. I am the “good guy” in the race.

Please note that while candidate Meister has attacked me, I have never attacked him. I respect his honesty even if he does not respect mine.

Andy Martin
Republican for U. S. Senator

They may post my response at:

http://progressillinois.com/2009/12/30/us-senate-round-up#comment-14068

or the bosses may not. They are growing afraid of me.

Why?

Because I am Republican who appeals to working people and working families. Ordinary workers have been raped by the greedy Wall Street operators in both political parties. Goldman Greed (Sachs) & Co. owns both political parties in Washington, including Mark Kirk. But they do not own me.

Why are the bosses really afraid? I am the genuine article as a Reagan discipline. I don’t fake it. I am it. I can tell a joke, laugh at myself, and laugh at some of my stuff-shirted fellow Republicans that insist on having “peoples” rallies at country clubs.

The labor bosses want Mark Kirk to win because they know how to run against him. Their disgraceful plan to destroy Kirk after the primary has already been published on the Internet.

But the Democrats do not know how to defend against my style: I tell the truth, and ordinary people just love that. No one had to “teach” Reagan how to be Reagan. He just was. Naturally. Likewise, no one has to teach me to love workers and struggling families. That’s just me.

Even left-wing Sun-Times-Columnist Neil Steinberg, who today “endorsed” Mark Kirk by calling him the “new Dick Durbin” (what an “endorsement” for a Republican!) admitted Kirk is a stuffed shirt and lacks appeal to common people.

So do Republicans really want to win? Are they prepared to back someone who, rough edges and all, is a candidate that will have cross-party appeal next November? Are they prepared to nominate me? Or do they prefer to lose with the genteel and effete Mark Kirk? The choice is yours. Thanks to me, you have a real choice.

In closing, please note that while the homosexual Democrat in the race attacked me and held a news conference to denounce my advertising, I did not return the fire. I respect Mr. Jacob Meister's personal honesty. I differ with him politically, not personally. I expressed my respect for his honesty as an individual (see above). It's a pity Mark Kirk isn’t as real and as honest and Jacob Meister. Then Kirk might have a fighting chance.

As long as Kirk remains “in the closet,” as Meister suggests Kirk is, Kirk is not a viable or rational candidate for statewide office. The sooner he admits that fact to himself and his supporters, the sooner Kirk can gracefully withdraw and support my campaign.

I am the only Republican candidate who can bring our Reagan Democrats back home, because I can make them feel at home. Really home. As humans, we instinctively know when we’re welcome somewhere and when we’re not. I welcome ordinary people, workers and struggling families. I grew up in one.

Watch for an even bigger “Bunker Buster” ad next January 6th. Kirk is toast. It is time for him to go and allow us to build a Republican coalition that can have a real chance of taking back Illinois next November. You can’t fool the people. Why is Kirk trying?

My campaign is winning. Please join my team and we will roll to victory over Kirk and the labor bosses on February 2nd.

Republicans, Democrats, independents, let’s come together to nominate a corruption fighter who will break the stranglehold of Goldman Greed & Co. and Wall Street over Main Street Illinois.

I am ready to fight for you. As left-wing Obama “water” boy Chris Matthews says,” “Let’s play Hardball.” That’s the “raw politics” of it (Anderson Cooper).

Let’s win this one for the Gipper.

Happy New Year, God bless you all,


Andy

Media declare “Kirk Kaput:” Andy Martin the surprise frontrunner for U S Senator in Illinois Republican primary

In forty-eight hours, the mainstream media have removed Mark Kirk from his perch as the “done deal” Republican nominee for U. S. Senator. Andy Martin launched one of the most devastating media attacks in American political history. Martin promises a new “Bunker Buster” anti-Kirk ad for January 6th.

“Our society is saturated with hypocrisy,” Martin says. “Liberals have a program they love called ‘Hardball,’ and Anderson Cooper calls a segment ‘Raw Politics,’ but when they actually see raw politics and hardball in action, their composure collapses. My campaign is poised to score the upset of the decade on February 2nd. Conservatives want to win. We are going to deliver a real conservative victory on February 2nd.”

Forty-eight hours that changed American politics

Mainstream media collapse in disarray as conservative Republicans rally to Andy Martin

Dear Illinois Republican:

Several weeks ago I began announcing “D-Day” for December 28th. I said we would launch game-changing attacks. I am a man of my word.

On Sunday (December 27) my campaign issued a statement claiming we were going to turn Illinois politics upside down. We were wrong. We are turning American politics upside down!

Simply by telling voters the truth about my opponent.

I am just a straightforward hard-charging Fighting Illini. Everything I learned in life I learned in Memorial Stadium. As a freshman, Coach Ray Eliot regaled me with the upset Fighting Illini victory that was led by the cry “Send Ameche at me.” I have this to say to the liberal media: Send Kirk at me. We’ll beat him.

The media began with their typical malicious attacks on me. Lies, distortions. Not one positive word about someone who has been a successful corruption fighter. Just bald-faced efforts to smear me (see www.AndyMartin.com for my bio.) Just ask Sarah Palin what these people are like.

The “hate parade” was led by Nell Steinberg, a Sun-Times "columnist" who accused all downstaters of being ignoramuses. You should know, in the same spirit of full disclosure that media apply to me, that Mr. Steinberg was criminally charged with beating his wife and being a drunk, and entered rehab. I think Steinberg needs to stay in rehab. To protect his wife. My victory on February 2nd will keep Steinberg in rehab.

Gay media across the country have declared Mark Kirk a homosexual. In fact, one gay publication (San Diego) is suggesting Kirk’s campaign is collapsing the same way Tiger Woods did.

Carol Marin of NBC-TV is afraid “the wrong people will be voting.” That means YOU. In other words, not “her people.” Liberals.

Now conservative publications are rallying to my campaign and comparing my honesty with Mark Kirk’s lifetime of duplicity, deceit and deception (D-Day?). See http://rffm.typepad.com/. Even political opponents who are supporting other candidates are collapsing their opposition and admitting my radio advertising about Kirk is 100% true. One of the people mentioned in the ad, Ray True, calls me the “ultra” conservative in the race. Now he tells us.

The media thought their lies would finish me off. Once again, they were wrong. I see a tsunami of conservative support flowing in our direction. The momentum has shifted to my campaign. Victory is in sight.

If conservatives stick together and join my campaign, we will defeat Kirk and claim the nomination as ours. It has to be a team effort. On February 2nd we can celebrate a national victory for conservatives. Take that Barry Obama.

The media are running scared. They were caught lying to you about Kirk. What else are they lying about? Me, for example. For months the media lied to you and tried to get you to believe you had no choice in the primary. Now, thanks to my ads, you know the truth. We exploded Kirks balloon in 48 Hours. 48 Hours that changed American politics.

Tell voters the truth, and the mainstream media panic. Now you know why the Chicago Tribune once called me an “absolutely brilliant campaigner” and a “master” campaigner.

And, by the way watch for an even bigger “Bunker Buster” ad next January 6th. Kirk is toast.

We’re winning. Please join my team and we will roll to victory over Kirk and Brady on February 2nd.

Happy New Year,

Andy Martin

U. S. Senate candidate charges that Barack Obama is the greatest threat to national security

Obama author and expert Andy Martin questions the influence Obama’s upbringing as a Muslim has on his willingness to “crack down” on Islamic nations that are allowing Muslim anarchists to fester. Martin calls for new profiling of Muslims, both foreign and domestic. The “Psychological Profile” in Martin’s book “Obama: The Man Behind The Mask” predicted in 2007 that Obama was emotionally unstable in a crisis. Martin is a candidate for Obama’s former U. S. Senate seat.

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Barack Obama is the greatest threat to U. S. national security

Martin demands that Obama “stop coddling Muslims” and impose additional screening procedures on both foreign and domestic Muslims and other potential terrorists

ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MONDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

Andy Martin says that Barack Obama is endangering national security by “coddling Muslims”

Martin calls for a crackdown on Islamic nations and says as a Senator he will legislate the temporary imposition of Islamic profiling on both foreign and domestic individuals

Martin says Congress must follow the “Israeli example” in focusing security efforts on security threats, not “Illinois grannies”

Is Obama’s mysterious “student” trip to Pakistan a factor in his pro-Islamic attitudes?

Martin says this is a “very painful day for me, but an unavoidable one”

Martin will issue a “National Security Letter” to Obama at the news conference

Martin has scheduled “D-Day #2” for January 6, 2010 for a new anti-Kirk “bunker buster”

(CHICAGO)(December 30, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a dramatic Chicago news conference Wednesday, December 30th to attack President Barack Obama for endangering the lives of every American. “The greatest threat to American national security is sitting in the White House, in the Oval Office,” Martin will charge.

“Al-Qaeda is a threat. Yemen is a threat. There are threats in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Somalia represents a problem.

“But the greatest threat of all to our nation is Barack Obama himself. His coddling of Muslims and his degrading of our national security capabilities endangers every American. Obama is trying to blunt the reality that his relentless political correctness and international groveling is encouraging new terrorist threats.

“Obama became president without ever being vetted by any national security agency. Obama’s mysterious journey to Pakistan as a ‘student’ becomes more intriguing every day. Who paid? How did he get there? Whom did he meet with? Obama won’t say. Yet he brags his mother was on welfare. Did he use food stamps to pay for his ticket? Obama’s silence breeds suspicion. There is no way Obama’s opaque personal history would qualify him for any U.S. Government security clearance.

“Obama is mentally incapable of cracking down on Muslims. His mother raised him as a Muslim until the age of 10. He boasted of his Muslim roots in his Cairo speech. His law school education was apparently financed by some of the same Saudi extremists who were paymasters for Al-Qaeda and 9/11.

“I do not trust Barack Obama. Not for one inch, not for one minute.

“We must adopt the Israeli approach to national security and direct our efforts at pre-profiled terrorists and extremists. Illinois ‘grannies’ are not the threat. Islamic anarchists are.

“As Illinois’ U. S. Senator I will immediately become Barack Obama’s most formidable opponent, and the most influential advocate of enhanced national security. I have forty years of international experience to recognize a growing risk when I see one. That’s why I believe Obama is the greatest threat to our national security. His actions encourage Islamic anarchists.

“In closing, let me say this is a painful day for me. I am a strong supporter of civil liberties. I am deeply troubled that many innocent people may be inconvenienced or embarrassed by the necessity to enhance national security screening. I have the utmost respect for Islam and every Muslim, and many of my Muslim friends will be disappointed by my advocacy of the need for profiling. But my efforts on behalf of Middle East peace continue. Our national security is enhanced when we stand for peace and justice everywhere in the world.

“Without national security, however, there is no ‘state’ to protect civil liberties. We cannot allow Islamic anarchists to threaten global peace and security.

Conservative Republicans defend Andy Martin against media attacks

Local media suggest that the corrupt Illinois “Combine” rigged Republican leader Pat Brady’s smear attack on Andy Martin in advance. Do internal polls show Andy Martin winning on February 2nd? Is that what Brady and Mark Kirk are really afraid of?

Republicans launch counterattack on Chicago
media’s efforts to smear Andy Martin

Dear Illinois Republican:

You may have heard Pat Brady’s attack on me. Mr. Brady had no authority to use the Illinois Republican Party apparatus to smear primary election candidates. Brady is a formally announced supporter of Mark Kirk. Brady’s organization took $50,000 in cash “hush money” from Kirk.

Both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune published lurid attacks on me and my advertising yesterday. Most of the content of the articles was outright lies or distortions. But here’s the clincher. Neither reporter made any effort to speak with me.

Likewise, other media published false claims about me. I wonder what they are afraid of? Why do the media lie?

They lie because they do not know any conservative Republicans. They live in a liberal cocoon where anyone who threatens their orthodoxy is smeared with lies and distortions.

But real Republican conservatives are behind me and my campaign to defeat Mark Kirk. That’s what counts on February 2nd.

Republican Chairman Pat Brady is nothing but a stooge of the corrupt “Combine” that controls both political parties in this state. Polling probably shows that I am beating Kirk in the primary. That’s why he attacked me. The Combine is terrified I am winning the primary. Brady’s attack on me confirms I am the most powerful Republican for U. S. Senator. The Combine feared Senator Peter Fitzgerald and destroyed his career. I won’t let the Combine do the same to me.

One writer suggests that Brady’s attack was prepared in advance; Brady was just looking for an excuse to smear my candidacy, all as Kirk’s announced supporter:

sun-times-bears-headline-take-that-nominated-
for-worst-headline-of-the-decade/10831

I don’t know who writes Cao’s blog, but has anyone from the media studied that analysis of my ad? Not likely. If you want to read what real Republicans think, read on:

http://caosblog.com/archives/15610#comment-3016045

Here is my posting/response to Cao’s blog:

My radio ad on Mark Kirk is absolutely factually correct. I realize the ad may offend some people, but then Mark Kirk in the U. S. Senate for six years would be even more offensive.

I respect the right of anyone to disagree with me, but I believe that honest campaigns sometimes have to be tough campaigns, when you are running, as I am, against a political fraud such as Mark Kirk. The liberal gay-dominated media in Chicago are promoting Kirk and trying to nominate him by default. They ignore the other candidates. I will not lie down and surrender to liberal media fraud. I am fighting to become a senator, and I will fight for the people of Illinois and the American people as your U. S. Senator in Washington.

The claim by some that my honesty somehow endangers Republicans is complete nonsense. Republican dishonesty is our biggest enemy. We can’t lie to ourselves about Kirk during the primary, and then blame others when the Democrats blow up his campaign next summer. Pat Brady’s hypocrisy is the real enemy of every Republican.

We drop the next “bunker buster” on Mark Kirk on January 6th. Be listening.

Andy Martin
The Real Republican for U. S. Senator



We’re winning. Please join my team and we will roll to victory over Kirk and Brady on February 2nd.

Happy New Year,

Andy Martin

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin is launching an unprecedented series of broadcast attacks on Mark Kirk beginning Monday, December 28th. Martin says that Kirk must answer Republican leaders’ questions concerning Kirk’s alleged homosexuality and homosexual relationship in Washington, DC. “There has never been another campaign like this,” Martin says. “We are going to turn the State of Illinois upside down on February 2nd, win the primary, stun both political establishments, go on to win election to the U. S. Senate and lead a counter-revolution to Barack Obama’s overthrow of our national institutions.”

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Mark Kirk must address allegations that Kirk is a homosexual

Martin says “the issue is not homosexuality, the question is hypocrisy; people are entitled to their privacy, they are not entitled to live public lives in the closet”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MONDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

Andy Martin launches “D-Day” in Illinois politics: “Disclose the facts, Disseminate the truth and Defeat—Mark Kirk”

Martin says Illinois Republican voters deserve the facts and the truth from Kirk about Kirk’s alleged homosexual activity

Martin is blanketing the state with broadcast ads repeating allegations against Kirk made by another senate candidate’s supporters

Martin is already producing a second round of ads exposing Kirk’s other sexual peccadilloes

Andy says both parties struggle with closeted gay public officials.

(CHICAGO)(December 28, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Monday, December 28th to announce that he has begun a statewide campaign of advertising suggesting that Mark Kirk must address media rumors of his homosexuality.

“The Chairman of Illinois Democrats for John McCain has accused Mark Kirk of being a homosexual, and living with another homosexual man in Washington, DC. Kevin DuJan, who was recognized by National GOP Chairman Michael Steele in April, 2009 as a 2008 John McCain leader, has published a widely circulated article claiming that Democrats are planning to expose Kirk’s homosexuality to retain the U. S. Senate seat in November, 2010.

“These accusations demand a full explanation from Kirk himself. Kirk’s attempts to brush off his critics with a statement claiming they ‘demean’ him will not wash with Republican primary voters. It seems that everywhere Kirk goes, ‘rumors’ follow in his wake. That’s very unusual.

“Interestingly, all of the persons behind the current Kirk attacks appear to be motivated by support for another GOP candidate in the senate primary, not my campaign.

“Earlier, Lake County Republican leader Ray True accused Kirk of being a homosexual, and said he ‘knows Kirk pretty well.’ Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Roeser said there is a ‘solid rumor that Kirk is a homosexual.’ Both men support another GOP candidate, not my campaign.

“Let me be clear. Homosexuality is not the issue. Every person is entitled to privacy, and everyone is entitled to equal protection of the laws. But when someone such as Kirk steps into the public arena, and wants to be elected to one of the top 100 public offices in a nation, he owes Illinois voters a campaign in the open, not a ‘campaign in the closet.’ Who does he share a house with in Washington?

“Republicans have had a persistent homosexual problem over the years, most recently with Congressman Mark Kirk and Senator Larry Craig. But both parties struggle with closeted gay man as public officials, such as Wisconsin U. S. Senator Herb Kohl and Florida Governor Charlie Crist. We need to deal honestly with human behavior.

“In my six decade career of political reform and corruption fighting in Illinois, I have been dedicated to finding the facts and searching for the truth. It is now an objective fact that some Republican leaders are making accusations against Kirk. He has to answer them. He cannot be a credible candidate for the United States Senate while accusations of homosexuality, sham marriages and live-in ‘boy friends’ are swirling around him.

“Finally, while the Kirk—is-a-homosexual story line has been all across the Republican Party leadership, and on the Internet, Republican primary voters are being kept in the dark. That’s wrong. That’s hypocritical. Kirk is swamping the state with bogus ads touting his conservative credentials while concealing his convoluted personal lifestyle from the public. Illinois State Republican Chairman Pat Brady knows the truth: how can Brady be a leader and support a liar?

“All my broadcast advertising does is take the truth to the voters. Republican Party leaders are lying. Votes have a right to the facts and the truth.

“Ironically, the current attacks on Kirk do not come from my campaign; I have nothing to do with them. All of the attacks on Kirk originate with supporters of one of the other Republican senate candidates. That GOP ‘candidate’ has to accept or reject the actions of his campaign contributors who accuse Kirk of homosexuality.

“I should point out that while my current ad is based on the public accusations by others, we are preparing to air our own investigative exposé of Kirk’s involvement in additional sex scandals. The second batch of ads is now going into production.

“If we receive enough new campaign contributions we will move into TV as well. Money is the only constraint on our anti-Kirk advertising at this point.

“The Chicago Tribune editorial board once called me an ‘absolutely brilliant campaigner’ whose ‘public-relations skills are masterly.’ That’s why the Tribune locked me out of their ‘forum’ this month with Kirk. They were afraid I would embarrass Kirk, the Tribune’s rigged ‘Combine’ candidate. The Tribune does not deserve to survive as a newspaper; they have forfeited all of their journalistic integrity.

“I am the only candidate with over forty years of radio and TV experience. I am fighting a ‘David and Goliath’ battle against Kirk. But if Kirk wins, Obama wins; if Kirk wins, America loses. I must not fail.

“I can say without fear of contradiction that January, 2010 is going to be a ‘month to remember’ in Illinois politics. The political decade is going to start with a bang. We are taking the truth to Illinois voters; it may be uncomfortable for some.

“But if a candidate hasn’t got the guts to stand up and tell voters the facts and the truth about his primary opponent, how is he going to stand up to Barack Obama and stop the socialist revolution?” Martin says. “I am ‘the name you can trust’ for U. S. Senator because I tell voters the truth. All of the references for the claims in my advertising follow these remarks (see below).

“I expect to win the Republican primary, and go on to sweep away the Democratic candidate. One year from now, I will be Illinois’ own senator, and America’s senator, as I lead the battle to stop Barrack Obama and his anti-American agenda from destroying this great nation.”

Senator Jim DeMint faces new embarrassments in Illinois U. S. Senate primary

As the Illinois U. S. Senate primary moves into high gear on December 28th, Internet Powerhouse and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin prepares to expose embarrassing links between U. S. Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina and a financially troubled real estate developer DeMint has been supporting as Martin’s “conservative” opponent. DeMint has not endorsed Martin’s opponent, however. Martin, Illinois’ leading national conservative activist, is in New York for media interviews and release of his new movie on Barack Obama’s “Hawai’i years.” Andy was recently interviewed extensively by NBC News for an upcoming special.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

U. S. Senator Jim DeMint faces new scandals concerning his relationship with “his” Illinois U. S. Senate candidate

Senator Jim DeMint set to receive a “lump of coal” from Andy Martin

(CHICAGO)(December 24, 2009) Illinois corruption fighter and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin announced Thursday that Senator Jim DeMint faces new scandals concerning his involvement with bogus Illinois real estate “developer” Patrick Hughes.

“Senator DeMint has been promoting a political fraud for several months. DeMint’s sponsorship of Patrick Hughes is about to boomerang and bite the South Caroline senator,” Andy Martin predicts.

“Senator DeMint’s ‘Senate Conservatives Fund’ will find that Illinois is a sinkhole. Over the weekend we will be releasing embarrassing new details about ‘chumbolone’ candidate Hughes’ sleazy campaign tactics. Monday, as part of ‘D-Day,’ we will also drop a bomb on Hughes, and the debris will fall on DeMint.

“Hughes has been a sleazy candidate from the day he announced on August 20th and made false promises of financial commitments that soon evaporated.

“Mr. Hughes has run one of the dirtiest campaigns in recent history. DeMint has tried to pretend he was not involved. But Hughes has constantly been playing the ‘DeMint Card,’ claiming his ‘meeting’ with DeMint was significant. My guess is that Hughes got to DeMint through Tom Coburn. Senator Coburn is a dupe of Illinois conservative huckster Paul Caprio. Hughes has collected more sleazy ‘advisers’ in his campaign than any other campaign this year. If a candidate surrounds himself with sleazy advisers, what does that say about the candidate?

“Monday is payback time for DeMint. We will deliver the lump of coal on Thursday night, and Monday it goes ‘poof.’ Just the way Patrick Hughes is about to go ‘poof.’” Martin predicts.

“D-Day” operations are complete for a dramatic statewide launch of Martin’s broadcast advertising campaign on December 28th.

Wikipedia/Wikimedia “fraud” lawsuit set for Illinois court hearing January 8th

U.S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Barack Obama is using a web of tax-exempt organizations, sometimes secretly and surreptitiously, to implement his socialist agenda in “Obama’s ‘Amerika.’” Martin says Wikimedia/Wikipedia is an arm of the “Obama Smear Machine” and is used both to protect Obama and slime Obama’s “enemies” and “opponents.” Martin says Obama’s socialist elves now have to work overtime: the American People have become Obama’s opposition.

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin’s lawsuit against Wikipedia/Wikimedia Foundation set for hearing

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

An Illinois judge will hear a request for a preliminary injunction against Wikimedia/Wikipedia

Andy Martin says the Wikimedia Foundation is nothing more than a tax-exempt division of Barack Obama’s political operations

Martin’s lawsuit charges that Wikimedia falsely invokes the Communications Decency Act to defraud federal and state judges as to the true nature of Wikipedia’s operations

Martin is seeking an injunction against Wikimedia/Wikipedia

(CHICAGO)(December 23, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin announced today that a Sangamon County, Illinois court will conduct a hearing on January 8, 2010 on his Motion for a Preliminary Injunction against the Wikimedia Foundation.

“After speaking with the Wikimedia’s lawyers I am absolutely convinced that this is a tax evasion scam being orchestrated by socialists to support Barack Obama and oppose Obama’s ‘enemies,’” Martin states. “Well, they will have to work overtime, as the American people have now become Barry Obama’s ‘enemies.’ Obama is trying to destroy America, and he is using his socialist cronies in the Wikimedia operation to assist in his carnage.

“Counsel advised me that Wikimedia/Wikipedia had no interest in truth, and would continue to ‘lock’ total lies about me on its supposedly neutral and politically impartial site.

“We will also be filing a complaint with the IRS against this Obama-related tax scam. Imagine, they are using tax-exempt assets to pay high-priced lawyers to defend their efforts to sabotage Obama’s opponents and ‘enemies,’ all while Obama raises taxes on the middle class. That’s what passes for ‘change’ in Obama’s ‘Amerika.’ Tens of millions voted for this socialist joker last year; now they are paying the price, and also paying for Obama’s tax-exempt legal goon squads.

“Wake up, America, before it’s too late,” Martin says.

Re: Lawsuit against Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. et al.


Dear counsel and defendants:

This will confirm my conversation with Mr. Stroh earlier today in which he advised me he had sent me a letter (he agreed to fax it, but I have not yet seen the letter).

Mr. Stroh advised me there was some doubt whether the lawsuit was on file and with this letter I am enclosing a copy of the stamped new case summary.

Mr. Stroh said that he was not yet authorized to accept notices on behalf of the defendants and stated I should serve the defendants directly with all notices until he actually files an appearance. I will respect his request.

This letter confirms in writing that agreement.

I also advised Mr. Stroh that I was seeking a hearing from the court on an emergency preliminary injunction, and Mr. Stroh would not advise me of any dates that were convenient for him.

As soon as I get a hearing date and time from the Court I will advise the defendants (but per his request not Mr. Stroh).

I will be serving all of the defendants at the Wikimedia location since that is obviously their place of business in relation to this lawsuit.

Please also be advised that in the next day or two I will be filing a complaint with the IRS concerning the political abuses by Wikimedia of its tax-exempt status to foster political attacks on “enemies” and “friends” of Barack Obama and other leftist causes and persons. That is not a proper use of a tax-exempt foundation that claims to be neutral and detached in its operations.

Obviously, by its own admissions, Wikimedia is neither neutral nor detached in its reportage and is being used as a political attack weapon by Obama’s supporters on the hard left at Wikimedia Foundation.

Mr. Stroh also advised me that the bogus entry on me would continue to be “locked” and that Wikimedia would neither remove nor allow to be corrected the lies and distortions being disseminated to influence a campaign for federal office and to undermine my efforts to find the facts and seek the truth about who Barack Obama really is.

I advised Mr. Stroh that Wikimedia might also have to register with the Federal Election Commission as a political committee due to its publication of pro and anti-Obama materials under strict control of a secret political presidium, all of which is directed at influencing a federal campaign in Illinois.

If any of the foregoing is in error, please advise me in writing.

Please call if you have any questions. I want to ensure you are afforded every procedural courtesy.

With best wishes,

ANDY MARTIN

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THURSDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK

Obama author and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says his new film offers fresh insights into the character of Barack Obama

Martin produced his short film entirely on location in Hawai’i earlier this year

Martin prepares to return to Illinois, for D-Day on December 28th, when he launches his broadcast advertising campaign

(NEW YORK)(December 22, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference Thursday, December 24th to release his new film, “Obama: The Hawai’i Years.”

“I’m not sure if Mr. Obama considers my Christmas Eve release the equivalent of playing Santa Claus but, once again, Mr. Obama’s schedules and mine have aligned in a coincidental way.

“Last year after I headed for Honolulu to interview his grandmother, he suddenly appeared in Honolulu, also to visit his long-neglected grandmother. Coincidence?

“The Governor’s office in Hawai’i was pelted with faxes and e-mails from people who thought Obama was responding to my presence (I had no role in initiating any of those e-mails or faxes).

“My new short film, produced on location in Hawai’i, was supposed to have been released months ago. Due to my senate campaign and other delays the film is only being released now, on Christmas Eve before I return to Chicago. And the movie is being released just as Obama himself returns to Hawai’i.

“Once again, my ‘world view’ and Obama’s actions coincide. I point to Honolulu as the true spiritual home of Barack Obama. Chicago has always been a mere convenience. I doubt that Obama will ever live in Chicago again.

“As though on cue, Mr. Obama is ‘heading home for the holidays,’ to Honolulu, not Chi-town. Once again through ‘mere coincidence’ or unerring accuracy I have cast light on the ‘inner Obama.’

“‘Obama: The Hawai’i Years’ is not an attack on Obama. I always keep the personal and the political clinically separate. Rather, my directorial instincts sought to probe his adult character as an extension of his early life and formative years in Hawai’i.

“Honolulu is not Chicago or New York. Obama is not a New Yorker or a Chicagoan. Rather he has succeeded precisely because he managed to ‘port’ or ‘morph’ his transplanted Hawai’ian character into transient episodes in New York and Chicago. He slipped through the presidential election campaign intact.

“In any event, ‘Obama: the Hawai’i Years’ represents my artistic take on Barack Obama’s inner character and origins in Hawai’i. Whether you love him, as some do, or dislike him as many increasingly do, he managed to catapult himself into the White House.

“I immensely enjoyed producing the film. I am indebted to my many new Hawai’ian friends for their guidance and assistance. They have become my ‘ohana.’ And in my own small way I have become a ‘Kama'aina.’ I am sure I will be back to produce more detailed and elaborate versions of this film.

“My understanding of and analysis of Obama has always been uncannily accurate:

=annotation_259119&feature=iv

and I think that people who watch my new film will agree that, once again, I have captured the essence of Mr. Obama in my movie.

“Because it is Christmas, and despite Mr. Obama’s suicidal efforts to ‘reform’ health care, I wish him and his family a Merry Christmas,” Martin says.

“D-Day in Illinois politics, is only hours away as we unleash our advertising attacks in the U. S. Senate primary. I have enjoyed a brief respite in New York, writing and doing research for my next Obama book, and next week I return to the cesspools of Illinois politics from whence Mr. Obama arose.

“The ‘war against corruption’ continues. There are no ‘early withdrawals’ or ‘term limits’ in the never-ending battle to rid Illinois politics and both political parties of cronyism and corruption.

“With all due respect, Illinois needs me in the U.S. Senate. I am the only candidate who has shown he can stand up to Barack Obama. I am the only candidate who can put Illinois and the U. S. on the path to greatness again, after Mr. Obama undermines the foundations of our nation.”

Obama conference in New York City opens with pledge by U.S. Senate candidate at the World Trade Center

United States Senate candidate Andy Martin (R-Ill) will open a New York City conference on Barack Obama Friday evening with a dramatic vow to block Barack Obama from suspending the search for Osama bin Laden in 2011. Martin’s conference is being held on the 52nd floor of the Millenium Hilton facing the World Trade Center site. Martin plans to link Obama’s mysterious trip to Pakistan as a college student to Obama’s latest policy changes on Afghanistan/Pakistan.

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin returns to network television with a searing interview by NBC News

Martin will open a New York City conference on Barack Obama with a prayer and a pledge to block any “artificial time limits” on pursuing Osama bin Laden.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin is interviewed for over 1-1/2 hours by NBC News

Andy says as “America’s Senator” he will never forget the victims of 9/11, never forget the families of 9/11 and never abandon the search to find and kill Osama bin Laden

Martin plans to open the National Conference with a dramatic prayer overlooking the World Trade Center, and a pledge to bar Obama from abandoning the search for bin Laden in 2011

(NEW YORK)(December 18, 2009) Illinois U. S. Senate candidate and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin returned to network television Thursday with a searching interview by NBC News. “I could not believe they asked questions for over 1-1/2 hours,” Martin said. “I don’t know how much they will use in their broadcast. But they were very prepared. There was a dark room with bright lights. It was ‘Mike Wallace noir.’ They kept asking questions for over 1-1/2 hours with no break.

“We answered all of them.

“Only a few days ago a New York Times magazine writer suggested my forty-year career as a broadcaster and reformer/crusader against political corruption was over. I guess the Times was wrong, again. There are not many people on the national media stage with the experience and guts to stand up to and challenge Barack Obama. I am one of them.

“Friday we open a two-day conference in New York City on the ‘Mysterious Mr. Obama.’ We will be conducting the historic National Conference at the World Trade Center from a suite on the 52nd floor of the Millenium Hilton overlooking Ground Zero.

“And we will begin the conference with a dramatic reaffirmation of my commitment to the victims of 9/11, their families and my pledge to the American people.

“As a U. S. Senator I will obviously and diligently attend to my duties to serve the daily needs of Illinois citizens. But as ‘America’s Senator,’ I will never ever allow Barack Obama to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan/Pakistan until we capture Osama bin Laden and his associates.

“There is no substitute for victory.

“Barack Obama’s defeatist strategy is to set arbitrary time limits on our participation in the search for bin Laden. Obama’s approach is an outrageous manipulation and capitulation to terrorism abroad and liberalism here at home. As United States Senator I will fight to keep the CIA and U. S. Army in Afghanistan and Pakistan until we capture bin Laden and destroy her terror network. I will not allow Obama to impose arbitrary limits on pursuit of bin Laden in Afghanistan/Pakistan.

“Interestingly, our conference was scheduled before Obama’s ‘capitulation’ speech at West Point, in which he promised to start withdrawing the U. S. military from Afghanistan before the start of the 2012 Democratic Party primary election season in the summer of 2011.

“Obama traveled to Pakistan as a young student. He says his family was poor. He does not appear to have had jobs while in college. Where did the money come from for Obama to travel around the world to Pakistan as a college student? Who paid? Obama refuses to answer.

“Obama refuses to release his original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate; he has only issued a laser-printed sheet from a Hawai’i state database. He refuses to release his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records and his Harvard Law School records.

“The documents we are seeking are the original source material of American history. Whether you love or hate Obama, he is now an important figure in American history. Documents related to him and his early life are part of our national archives, especially when, for example, his mysterious trip to Pakistan as a college student could shed light on his latest policy revisions concerning Pakistan and Afghanistan. What is Obama trying to cover up in his past? What happened in Pakistan when he went there as a student, who paid for him to go there, and why was he there at a time of internal upheaval in that nation?

“We will explore those questions and many others at our National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate, beginning December 18th at the New York Millenium Hilton (World Trade Center)

“In 2008, I drew blood from Obama when I exposed his radical plan to undermine America. Everything I predicted then Obama is doing now:

“Our National Conference will explore the ‘Secret Life of Barry (Barack) Obama, who traveled to Pakistan as a college student while claiming to be impoverished,” Martin states. “Now he wants to withdraw American forces from searching for Osama bin Laden in that country. Is there a link?”

Dear Friends:

Welcome to the Second National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate and College Records. Our meeting begins tomorrow in New York City! I am delighted to provide you with this second progress report.

1. Network interviews before the Conference

We have scheduled network interviews to begin Thursday afternoon. More on the network and actual interviews after they are conducted. As with taping of the conference itself, we offer no guarantees or predictions when the interviews will actually be shown.

2. TV network coverage of the Conference

It now appears that one of the major TV networks (see above) will also tape some of the conference proceedings. We have no idea if and when any tape may be broadcast. Just let us know if you don’t want to appear on tape and we will arrange your seating so you don’t appear in the recordings.

3. Videotaping/Internet posting cancellation

Unfortunately, our plan to videotape the conference and post the proceedings on the network is stalled. We did not receive enough financial support to hire a professional videographer to tape the conference, so we have cancelled our reservation for a videographer. If late-in-the-day financial support still arrives, we will see if someone is available to tape. We can’t do more than the budget allows.

4. Conference location

We managed to find an affordable first class hotel in lower Manhattan. You can expect a “wow” location for the conference. We hope to notify conference registrants and media Thursday evening after we have set up.

5. Obama: The Hawai’i Years

I had hoped we could finish editing our Hawai’i movie by early December but we are swamped with work and preparations for the conference. We will definitely show a rough cut of the movie on a laptop at the Conference and finish the film up for New Year’s.

6. Late registration/more information about the conference

Information on how to register, etc. is posted on our Conference blog:
www.nationalconferenceonobama.blogspot.com

Please remember to bring a photo ID. Security is tight in New York and at the hotel. We also have security procedures in effect.

7. My thanks to everyone (letters of thanks to follow)

I want to thank everyone who has contributed both personal effort and financial support. We expect to have a spectacularly successful conference.

May I take this opportunity to once again wish everyone a Merry Christmas or, if you are not a Christian, a very happy holiday season. Joy to all.

Faithfully,

ANDY MARTIN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Obama Secretary of Education Arne Duncan linked to Chicago corruption probe

Illinois corruption fighter and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin discloses legal confirmation that Obama Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is being investigated by the Chicago Public Schools for financial fraud and some sort of connection to the death/suicide/murder of Michael Scott in November. The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI are also evaluating Martin’s separate Freedom of Information demands.

Chicago Board of Education links Obama Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to investigation of financial fraud at Chicago Public Schools, death of Michael Scott

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUNDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

Political corruption fighter Andy Martin says there is a clear “Chicago way” coverup of financial fraud by an Obama cabinet official

Martin says the refusal by Chicago officials to release Arne Duncan’s financial records is a legal confirmation that Duncan is linked to an investigation of financial fraud at the agency

(CHICAGO)(December 13, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Sunday, December 13th to announce that the Chicago Board of Education is refusing to release Obama Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s financial records because of an ongoing corruption investigation linked to the death of Michael Scott.

In a Freedom of Information request, Martin asked for copies of all of the “credit card payments/statements using Chicago Public Schools credit cards” for both Scott and Duncan (see letter below).

Attorneys for the Board of Education have refused to turn over either Scott’s or Duncan’s credit card records on the grounds they are both under investigation.

“If they won’t turn over Arne Duncan’s financial records at the Chicago Public Schools because they are ‘under investigation,’ then Arne Duncan is under investigation for financial fraud,” Martin will charge in his news conference.

“Barack Obama, Richard Daley and Arne Duncan owe the American people an immediate and complete explanation of why Duncan’s financial records are being investigated. My letter seeking release, and the Board’s refusal to release them, are self-explanatory. Someone is under investigation for financial fraud, and that ‘someone’ includes an Obama cabinet secretary, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

“We are appealing the refusal to produce the records of both Scott and Duncan.

“Once again I am leading the way in exposing corruption in Illinois. When I go to Washington as a U. S. Senator I will do to Barack Obama in Washington what I have been doing to Obama in Chicago: exposing his corrupt practices and associates,” Martin says. “Who vetted Duncan? Why is he under investigation?”

Patrick Hughes, the “Walter Mitty Candidate” for U. S. Senator

Patrick Hughes is a failed lawyer and failed real estate operator who has decided to seek middle aged refuge in a hapless campaign for the U. S. Senate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin begins an occasional series on some of his opponents for the U. S. Senate nomination

The March of the Walter Mitty candidates: Patrick Hughes [Part One]

(CHICAGO)(December 12, 2009) Almost every election cycle brings out “Walter Mitty” candidates. These individuals have no political experience and no familiarity with the public arena, yet they delude themselves into believing they are capable of performing as national officials. I call these persons “Walter Mitty candidates,” after James Thurber’s timeless character, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mitty

Today we begin an occasional series on candidates with Walter Mitty aspects to them.

Does anyone remember Steve Sauerberg? Sauerberg appeared out of nowhere in 2007 and said he could defeat incumbent Democrat Dick Durbin. Sauerberg said he would be “adequately funded,” but wasn’t. Sauerberg has vanished.

2010’s Walter Mitty candidate is Patrick Hughes. Hughes provides many dimensions of delusional behavior. We will start be addressing his nonexistent voting record and nonexistent Republican Party credentials.

At some Republican Party functions I compare and contrast Hughes with Mark Kirk. Kirk is “Magic Slate,” employing a term from the children’s “slate” that can be erased merely by lifting the plastic cover. Kirk would have us believe he can “erase” his ultra-liberal voting record in Congress by simply lifting the plastic cover on his life. Obviously, Kirk can’t erase his past, or his present, and the past and present will doom Kirk’s
future.

In comparison to Kirk, I call Patrick Hughes “blank slate.” If you “Google” Mr. Hughes prior to 2009, there is nothing there. Hughes’ adult life is a blank slate. Hughes own self-promoted Wikipedia entry has nothing of a public nature prior to 2009.
Take a look for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Hughes_(politician)

Hughes voted as a Republican for the first time in 2008. In other words, a few months after declaring himself to be a Republican, he decided he had the experience to become a national leader. In Parts Two and Three of Hughes’ imaginary qualifications we will discuss other defects in his resume.

Today we focus on Hughes’ lack of a voting record.

Ironically, we can begin debunking Hughes by simply quoting one of his biggest supporters, John Biver of “Champion” News. A few days ago Biver wrote:

“Experience in the arena does matter. Rarely is a young man made a general—there is much to learn as a person moves up through the ranks.”

Having written those wise words, Mr. Biver chose to ignore them by supporting Hughes, and then failing to advise Hughes how to become a “real” candidate.

Hughes has said he was “too busy” to vote over the decades. Too busy to vote for decades? How much time does it take to vote? If Hughes did not become a Republican until almost the age of forty, what did he consider himself before he declared himself a Republican? Taking after the movie of a similar title, I have come to refer to Hughes as the “Forty Year-Old Virgin.” It took Mr. Hughes almost forty years to decide he was a Republican. It took him only a few months to declare himself a national leader. John Biver, where were you when Mr. Hughes’ needed your restraining influence?

Hughes has occasionally claimed that he actually did voted a few times and that these votes are spread across Cook and DuPage Counties. That’s not an excuse, but it is what lawyers would call a “plea in mitigation.”

How would I have proceeded to address Hughes’ problem? If, indeed, I had a series of votes that were not visible, and which were becoming risible, I would obtain certified copies of my voting records and post them on my web site. Mr. Hughes also claims to be a “lawyer.” Hughes may be a licensed paralegal, but he lacks the skills of an experienced attorney. An experienced lawyer would have promptly proceeded as I suggest: get copies of the certified records and make them public.

Hughes has never made any voting records public, even though the burden of removing this serious cloud on his candidacy rests at all times on him, and on no one else. Lawyers also have a “failure to produce” doctrine, with which Mr. Hughes may have a passing acquaintanceship. The “failure to produce” rule says that if you have information in your control and you fail to produce it, a judge and jury may draw an “adverse inference” from your failure to produce the evidence. The doctrine is also called the adverse inference rule.

So now that we have been appropriately instructed, we may proceed to draw the adverse inference that Hughes in reality has no documents to rebut his lack of a voting record. Hughes has been lying.

Hughes brags about having many “paid staffers” on his payroll. Doesn’t one of his employees have enough political experience and street smarts to realize that the lack of a voting record undermines Hughes’ candidacy? Or is the apparent truth in fact the real truth: Hughes really has no records to document his earlier votes because they never took place.

Patrick Hughes? United States Senator? Walter Mitty would be proud of him.
