FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Andy Martin says that Patrick Hughes is continuing his pattern of deceptive behavior
Hughes admits he is “Candidate X” and transfers Martin’s “Solo” lawsuit from state court to federal court
(CHICAGO)(November 9, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin announced today that his primary opponent Pat Hughes has transferred the “Solo Family” lawsuit, originally filed in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, to federal court.
“Mr. Hughes is taking my lawsuit very seriously,” Martin noted. “He made a ‘federal case’ out of my claims that ‘Candidate X’ was breaking the law. Hughes has admitted he is ‘Candidate X.’ Amusingly, Hughes moved the lawsuit to federal court even before the sheriff could serve the Solo Family defendants. Both Solos admitted they are Hughes operatives.
“Hughes has established a pattern of deceptive and manipulative behavior. Last summer he paid D. Paul Caprio to recruit ‘pro-family leaders’ to his campaign. Caprio did not disclose he was acting as a paid agent of the Hughes campaign.
“Hughes then sent ‘consultant’ Jon Zahm out to attack me when I filed a meritorious complaint against Hughes because of his fraudulent behavior as an attorney. Zahm appeared to be acting as a paid spokesman for Hughes, though Zahm now denies that claim. Hughes was forced to admit I was legally correct. He had to pay his dues as an ‘active’ attorney or face professional discipline.
“Then Hughes falsely claimed that Mike Ditka had both ‘endorsed’ Hughes and agreed to serve on his ‘Finance Committee.’ Ditka denied both claims, although he later issued a lukewarm ‘endorsement’ of Hughes. Ditka has kept his distance from Hughes since ‘endorsing’ him. Some endorsement. Ditka flatly refused to serve on Hughes Finance Committee.
“Then Hughes demanded that the two African-American candidates withdraw from the Republican Party senate primary. Hughes claimed he had a secret deal with Arrington and Wallace for them to withdraw. Both men denied Hughes’ claim.
“Hughes then tried to use a straw man to order petitions from the State Board of Elections. When I offered Hughes the option of admitting he was ‘Candidate X’ and avoiding a lawsuit, Hughes chose to be sued. Now that he has been sued, he has been forced to make an admission that he was indeed ‘Candidate X.’ We will be deposing his ‘workers’ to find out how they paid for the petition copies.
“In addition to manifesting a continuously deceptive personality, Hughes also manifests gross incompetence as a lawyer. He was unlawfully holding himself out as a ‘General Counsel’ at a time when he had suspended his law license and gone on ‘inactive’ status. That was a serious legal violation.
“Hughes now claims he has a right to ‘copy petitions.’ I agree he has that right. What Hughes does not have a right to do is launder money to pay for petitions in a way that disguises his payment for the petitions. If Hughes can’t even comprehend the basic ethical requirements of an attorney or federal candidate, how is he going to deal with the complexity of being a U. S. Senator?” Martin asks.
“Obviously, Hughes is out of his depth, and drowning. But then Hughes was unable to cope with the complexities of voting either, until he decided to become a candidate for U. S. Senator. He voted for the first time as a Republican in 2008. What took him so long? He’s 40 years old.”

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUNDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO
Andy Martin will seek disclosure of “Solo Crime Family” source of political funds; money laundering and federal election law violations are apparent in “Solo” actions
“Candidate X” will also be the target of lawsuit to disclosure source of money laundering in seeking State Board of Elections petition records
(CHICAGO)(November 8, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Sunday, November 8th to announce that he is preparing to file a lawsuit Monday in DuPage County to force the disclosure of funding for the “Solo Crime Family.”
“Someone who claims to be named ‘Solo’ is laundering money for an undisclosed U. S. Senate candidate,” Martin says. “I had not planned to challenge anyone’s petitions myself, but the surreptitious action of someone, in financing a mystery-man ‘Solo’ to copy the petitions of six (6) senate candidates tells me we are looking at political dirty tricks.
“We have had to go to condition ‘red’ to protect against election fraud. Sunday afternoon I hired an election attorney to defend the electoral process from criminal activity.
“Attacks by someone directed at six campaigns, excepting Pat Hughes and Mark Kirk, raise obvious suspicions. I have been told who is behind this scam, but out of an abundance of caution I will sue the ‘Solos’ and use my best efforts to definitively ascertain which one of them is behind the criminal activity.
“Federal law is very different than Illinois law. Under Illinois law, virtually ‘anything goes.’ Under federal law, when a federal (e.g. U. S. Senate) candidate transfers money out of their campaign account to purchase State Board of Elections petition files, the expenditure for that service must be made directly and not through a nominee to conceal the candidate as the source of cash. Hiding the source of cash is money laundering.
“Federal disclosure requirements were mandated as a result of money laundering during the Watergate conspiracy.
“We now have a mini-Watergate on our hands. An unidentified campaign gave someone who claims to be ‘Andrew Solo’ a large sum of cash to copy petitions at the State Board of Elections. Who was the source of that cash? I contacted the Solos and they refuse to respond. I am entitled to assume from the Solos’ silence that there is criminal activity going on.
“The ‘Solo’ phone number I was furnished was (630) 963-4170 in case anyone wants to check for themselves.
“A candidate who will engage in criminal activity as part of the petition process, and recruit others to aid and abet in criminal activity by seeking to money launder expenditures through his associates, needs to be disclosed. Period.
“Sadly, it is obvious that Republicans are as prone to criminal activity in politics as the Democrats,” Martin said.
