U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin calls his opponent a man who is unfit for public office. Martin says Kirk was part of a conspiracy in the U. S. House of representatives that allowed pedophile Congressman Mark Foley to prey on children employed by the House as pages. Martin says Republicans covered up the scandal. Kirk is the only member of the cabal to seek higher office. Speaker Dennis Hastert resigned in disgrace as a result of “Foleygate.” “Republican leaders in Illinois should be ashamed of themselves for promoting a de facto pedophile for U. S. Senator,” Martin charges.

ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS
ANNOUNCEMENT OF WEDNESDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO
Andy Martin launches “Bunker Buster #2” on Mark Kirk as part of Martin’s “D-Days” in Illinois politics: “Disclose the facts, Disseminate the truth and Defeat—Mark Kirk”
Martin says Kirk’s cover-up of Mark Foley’s pedophilia could have made Kirk liable as a criminal accessory; neither Kirk nor Foley were prosecuted due to, among other factors, the statute of limitations and reluctance of the victims to press charges
Martin is blanketing the state with broadcast ads accusing Kirk of being a “de facto pedophile”
Martin is already producing a third round of devastating ads exposing Kirk’s other fraudulent (non-sexual) activity
In an explosive essay which accompanies the new ad, Martin exposes how social conservatives in the Republican Party saw their agenda defeated by a homosexual “clique” in Speaker Dennis Hastert’s office
(CHICAGO)(January 6, 2010) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Wednesday, January 6th to release his new statewide campaign “Bunker Buster” advertising. Martin accuses Representative Mark Kirk of being a “de facto pedophile.” The new can be heard Wednesday, January 6th on WBBM-AM at 9:43 A.M. and 3:29 P.M. (other stations have varying times).
“For decades families have sent their children to work on the floors of the U. S House and U. S. senate as junior ‘pages.’ It’s a great honor for a family to send a son (and today a daughter) to serve as a page. Members of Congress are legally responsible for the pages and supervise all of their activity to protect the children from harm,” Martin says.
“The biggest sex scandal in American history was not one between consenting adults, however inapprprpriate such liaisons might be. The worst sex scandal was the one involving pedophile Congressman Mark Foley and how he was allowed by Republican leaders to prey on children on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives while Speaker Dennis Hastert, Congressmen Mark Kirk and John Shimkus and others did nothing to protect the children under their supervision and protection.
“My new ad opens the door to a sex scandal that was covered up by Hastert, Kirk and other Republican leaders,” Martin says. “The truth has never come out. Now it will.
“Mark Kirk is not a member of NAMBLA. But he might as well have been. NAMBLA [North-American Man-Boy Love Association] encourages sexual relations between adult men and under-age boys. That is what Speaker Hastert and his close confidante Mark Kirk allowed to go on, not for days, not for weeks, not for months but for years. Mark Foley was never punished by the Republican Party for engaging in child abuse.
“Foley’s sexual harassment and exploitation of children could have been stopped if Mark Kirk had stood up to Hastert and stood up to the ‘clique’ in Hastert’s office that tolerated the NAMBLA-style behavior of House members and Foley in particular. But Kirk did nothing.
“My first ad was controversial because of the fact that people are entitled to differing opinions on what role, if any, possible homosexuality should play in evaluating a candidate for the United States Senate.
‘But there is no ‘second side’ to Mark Kirk’s toleration for pedophilia as practiced by Mark Foley. No one except sexual extremists such as NAMBLA and, apparently, Kirk, Hastert and John Shimkus, would act as though they believe that adult men should be allowed to prey on boys, all while under the supervision and protection of the U. S. Congress.
“Kirk was the dog that didn’t bark. Of course, while Kirk pretends to be head of a ‘suburban’ caucus in the house, Kirk’s actions in Foleygate speak louder than his words. Any suburban parent knows that protecting your child from sexual exploitation is one of the paramount roles of a parent. Kirk failed to discharge the duty imposed on all 435 members of the house to act in the best interests of the children in their care.
“I repeat, while my original ad addressed a controversial topic on which there are differing opinions, there are no differing opinions on whether Congress, charged with protecting children, was free to allow a congressman to prey on those children.
“Mark Foley was not some creepy guy in a trailer park. Foley’s ‘trailer park’ was the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Kirk let Foley get away with it.
“Of necessity my ad is only 60-seconds long. In longer article of social criticism, I will provide further details about the ‘clique’ operating out of Speaker Dennis Hastert’s office that destroyed the agenda of social conservatives. This truth must be known. The truth must come out. Mark Kirk’s de facto pedophilia must be made known to Illinois conservatives before they cast their ballots in less than four weeks.
“Hastert resigned from the U. S. House rather than face further investigation and possible criminal prosecution. The Foley-Kirk-Shimkus scandal was covered up. No longer. Today we begin the process of telling American families that Kirk could not be trusted to protect their children, and he cannot be trusted to serve as a U. S. Senator. No family, no parent would ever again trust Mark Kirk to protect their children. He should be disqualified from holding public office.
“By his abdication of adult responsibility in the Foley ‘page’ scandal Mark Kirk has demonstrated he’s unfit to hold public office. I intend to see he never holds office again,” Martin will state. “Because Kirk was the only one of these nefarious individuals to seek higher office, we are finally in a position to hold him accountable for his role in the Foley scandal.”
The new ad is expected to have an explosive impact on the primary campaign, now with less than four weeks to election day. Martin says, “Truly this ad is a ‘Bunker Buster’ We are exploding the bunker of lies that Kirk, Hastert Foley and others created to hide their criminal behavior from public scrutiny,” Martin promises.
Martin is preparing “Bunker Buster” ad #3, which will go into production shortly. Later this week he will hold a contest to solicit guesses on what the topic will be. Once again, Martin’s Bunker Buster is expected to explode another aspect of Kirks résumé and history, and leave the congressman’s reputation in shreds.

CHICAGO NEWS CONFERENCE: Obama response to terror threat is inadequate
U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin charges that President Barack Obama’s response to the growing terror threat is “less than 1/3 of a solution. Obama continues to be a 98-pound weakling on national security.”
U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Obama’s airline security enhancements are grossly insufficient
Martin says that Obama is unwilling to fight the war on terror

ANNOUNCEMENT OF TUESDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO
Andy Martin says that the Obama’s administration’s latest airport security procedures are less than 1/3 of a solution; where’s the rest?
Martin calls for a ban on Somali immigration to the United States
Martin renews his charge that “President Barack Obama is a 98-pound weakling on national security”
Martin has scheduled “D-Day #2” for January 6, 2010 for a new anti-Mark Kirk “bunker buster” advertisement
(CHICAGO)(January 5, 2010) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Tuesday, January 5th to challenge President Barack Obama’s latest security procedures as woefully inadequate.
“Obama’s ‘security’ effort is less than 1/3 of what is the minimum required,” Martin charges.
“First, we need enhanced airline security, targeted at terrorist nations. That has apparently been partially implemented. Where is the commitment to full-body scanners?
Second, we need to counterattack the terrorists in their training bases, and hunt down their leaders overseas. Where is this phase of the action? Ten years ago the U. S. S. Cole was blown up in Yemen. A decade later, we are going backwards. Yemen is deteriorating. How’s that for progress? Both Republicans and Democrats have failed to stabilize Yemen.
“Finally, we need to target domestic jihadis and other potential domestic terrorists. I don’t want to see any Fort Dix or Fort Hood-style attacks.
“In particular, I would ban any Somali immigration to this country. We have created our own domestic enemies by settling Somalis across the United States. These people have spawned at least one terror network, in Minnesota, which sent trainees to Somalia, and possibly other sleeper cells. Why are we importing Somalis to undermine our national security?
“Unless we enhance all aspects of national security and counterterrorism with efforts to detect and disrupt and destroy both the domestic and overseas threats, merely screening passengers at airports will be less than 1/3 of the solution,” Martin charges.
“Is Obama fighting a war, or playing pattycake with terrorists? It is hard to tell. Unless and until Obama commits himself to war-fighting and tackles the domestic terror training associations, he is not doing enough to protect Americans. Obama continues to be a 98-pound weakling on national security.”

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin exposes media lies and corruption in Chicago
When is Mark Kirk going to withdraw as a U. S. Senate candidate? Kirk’s opponent Andy Martin strips the bark off the sordid sexual history of Kirk, former Speaker Dennis Hastert and the Illinois Republican Party. The homosexual scandal in Republican Party politics is just in its early stages. A major national scandal is about to explode.
U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin exposes the media lies behind reports involving Patrick Brady
Martin says that local media used a crooked local political leader who supports gay bars and Mark Kirk to attack Martin’s campaign, without telling viewers/listeners/readers the truth
Martin says “If Pat Brady is Mark Kirk’s leading ‘beard,’ the Kirkster will be withdrawing as a candidate”

Andy Martin exposes the sordid truth about Republican “leader” Pat Brady
Pat Brady is a Mark Kirk stooge, and a supporter of holding Republican (John McCain) events in gay bars
Why is Pat Brady is attacking Andy Martin, the only conservative candidate for U. S. Senator in Illinois?
Why did the media lie and present a distorted picture of Brady’s role as a Kirk surrogate?

Andy predicts a major national political scandal is about to explode
Andy promises to fight corruption in Washington in both political parties.
(NEW YORK)(January 3, 2010) Last week, Illinois media and some national media reported that Patrick Brady has “disendorsed” my candidacy for U. S. Senator. Brady had absolutely no authority to take the action he released to the media. But Brady’s total lack of power to smear my campaign is only the proverbial “tip of the iceberg.” A major national scandal is about to explode.
Brady’s fraudulent behavior and the way Chicago media responded is a classic example of local media distortion, corruption and incompetence.
Not one of the media reporting Brady’s bogus action reported to viewers/listeners/readers that Brady was one of Mark Kirk’s earliest supporters. Check the facts for yourself:

Once again, you have actual proof positive that local media lie, and local media such as NBC's Carol Marin try to demonize conservatives.
The advertisement which prompted Mr. Brady to come forward and oppose my campaign concerned Mark Kirk's homosexual issues.
During the 2008 campaign Mr. Brady, as “John McCain leader for Illinois,” sponsored a “bar event” in “Boystown,” the homosexual neighborhood in Chicago.

Yes, politics is contentious. But why do Chicago media lie and favor one side in a fight between an extreme liberal (Kirk) and a genuine conservative (Andy Martin)?
Well, now you know the rest of the story.
Not many real Republicans would support a candidate backed by a crooked, violent psychopath like Pat Brady. This is Mark Kirk’s leading supporter? And “beard?” Mark Kirk is not long for the 2010 campaign. When will he withdraw?
The choice on February 2nd is clear: vote no to Kirk, vote no to Brady and vote no to continuing corruption of the Illinois Republican Party by former Speaker Dennis Hastert’s homosexual operatives.
If you want to fight political and moral corruption in Washington,- please vote for me. I am your only hope to get the truth and the only Republican who can stand up to Barack Obama.

NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE: U.S. Senate candidate says Barack Obama is a “98-pound weakling” on national security
The U.S. Senate candidate the New York Times calls a “conservative bomb thrower,” Andy Martin attacks Barack Obama’s response to terrorist crisis in Yemen. Martin says Obama’s radio address Saturday offered a travelogue, not a solution or a plan to attack terror camps. Martin proposes an “Israeli-style” approach to fighting terrorism. Martin will review the Jimmy Carter-era term and apply it to Obama: “Mush from the Wimp”
U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Barack Obama is a “98-pound weakling” on national security
Martin demands that Obama “stop coddling Muslims” and impose additional screening procedures on both foreign and domestic Muslims and other potential terrorists

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SATURDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK
IS OBAMA A “NINETY-EIGHT POUND WEAKLING” ON NATIONAL SECURITY?
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 revives the Jimmy carter-era term “Mush from the Wimp” and calls Obama a “wimp in the war against terror”
(NEW YORK)(January 2, 2010) The Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” that the New York Times calls a “conservative bomb thrower” will hold a dramatic New York news conference today, Saturday, January 2nd to attack President Barack Obama and call the president a “98-pound weakling” on national security.
Martin accuses Obama of endangering the lives of every American. “The greatest threat to American national security is sitting in the White House, in the Oval Office,” Martin charges.
“Al-Qaeda is a threat. Yemen is a threat. There are threats in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Somalia represents a problem,” Martin says.
“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.
“Today (Saturday) Obama gave us a radio travelogue on the terror network routes from Yemen to New York and Detroit. What a surprise! The CIA knows where the bad guys are. Obama lacks the will to take them out. What is he waiting for? We are not ‘partners’ with the Yemeni government as Obama claims. There is no Yemeni government as we understand the term. Terrorists operate openly and with impunity. Obama has been sending Guantanamo inmates to Yemen to reinforce the terrorist training camps. Is this insane?
“Jimmy Carter allowed these terror networks to come into being. Then we said there was ‘Mush from the wimp.’ Americans are receiving more mush from a new 2010 wimp.
“Barack Obama is a ‘wimp on national security.’ Obama’s plan to ‘strengthen our partnership with the Yemeni government’ is a joke,” says Middle East security expert Andy Martin. Martin proposes an Israeli-style crackdown on terrorist attempts to commit mass murder.
“When is Obama going to face the inevitable and tell people he has decided not to close Guantanamo?” Martin demands. “When his he going to ask every Muslim government to stamp out terrorism? How can we be safe when Imams and mosques from Cairo to Karachi are spewing forth hate with government approval? Obama’s plan to ‘strengthen our partnership with the Yemeni government’ is ‘mere words.’ When is Obama going to face the truth? Martin says Obama is a 98-pound weakling on national security.
“Barry Obama’s Muslim heritage, which he likes to brag about when it suits his purposes, is preventing him from declaring the war on terror. Instead he has chumbolone Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano telling us everything is fine.
“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.

Ninety-six hours that continues to change American politics
Dear Illinois Republican:
What a difference a few days make.
Last Monday we launched our “Bunker Buster” attacks on Mark Kirk with Bunker Buster #1. Overnight my media campaign has become a national fixation.
Our slimy state Chairman, Pat Brady, who has publicly endorsed Mark Kirk, quickly denounced me despite the fact that the role of Chairman carries with it absolutely no authority to attack primary candidates. Pat Brady was acting as another one of Mark Kirk's "beards." A week after the advertising began, Kirk has not been heard from other than a limp two-line response from a staff member. Kirk is hiding behind Brady’s smears.
Pat Brady is a disgrace as Republican chairman. The Chairman should not be taking sides in primaries. The bylaws and rules of the Party do not give him any authority to do so.
I urge you to reject Brady, a mediocre lawyer and “Combine” stooge who was chosen in a secret deal ten minutes after Andy McKenna suspiciously resigned, in yet another “fix” that has reduced the Illinois Republican Party to laughingstock status. Don’t listen to Brady & Co; they are just mouthpieces for Kirk.
Instead, listen to what the liberals are saying about my campaign, and listen especially to the growing panic in the liberal media.
Jim Warren, who was dumped by the Chicago Tribune in one of their many internal coups, thought he would write a “cute” column insulting me and trying to defend Kirk. Instead, Warren’s column in the New York Times may turn out to be the first epitaph of Kirk’s political career.
You will notice that Warren, like Brady before him, tries to revive 25 year-old and 35 year-old smears on me. Don't they have any newer lies to use against me? In both of the smear episodes, I exposed massive corruption in federal and state court systems, and the judges retaliated by trying to demonize me with lies, distortions and much worse.
But the “core” or Warren’s arrogance was his liberal dismissal of a bold, creative advertising strategy that was created by my media operations command. I have over forty (40) years of radio and TV experience. I have produced creative and controversial attack advertising for decades.
The initial liberal reaction to “Operation D-Day,” which I correctly predicted in advance would level Kirk's political operations, was to smugly suggest that I was doomed. Quite the opposite is happening.
Here is the aftermath of “D-Day.”
People who initially assumed I had made a major blunder, now are coming around to the view I may have executed one of the most brilliant strategies in recent political history. Inside my campaign, we call it the “Inchon" landing on Kirk's back doorstep. Kirk is in hiding. No one in the media has heard from him. Even people on "active duty" get to make phone calls. Where is he? No one seems to know. Kirk has not announced his whereabouts, because he is hiding from his own friends in the liberal media. They have questions; he does not want to provide answers to the HillBuzz accusations about his lifestyle in Washington:
http://hillbuzz.org/2009/12/18/what-
chicago-democrats-are-planning-to-do-
to-out-republicans-mark-kirk-and-aaron-schock/
It is slowly dawning on liberals, who initially suggested that Kirk would not be hurt by my attacks, that Kirk is mortally wounded politically. His career is over. Kaput. Here is one writer who has had a change of heart:
http://gapersblock.com/mechanics/
2010/01/01/second-thoughts-on-
martin-kirk-and-gay-rights
Why was I right and the liberals wrong?
First, liberals dominate the media. They wallow in their own lies and self-delusions. How many liberals even know a Republican conservative?
Second, liberals do not vote in Republican primaries. Conservatives do. Conservatives do not want Kirk.
Conservatives have been increasingly aggravated and disillusioned because our “conservative” party in Illinois was under the daily working control of homosexual “advisers” hired by Judy Topinka, Andy McKenna and Mark Kirk. That is why hundreds of thousands of Republicans have abandoned the Illinois Republican Party in disgust.
Third, I want to stress that I have nothing against homosexuals. They are entitled to the same rights as any American. I will defend those rights. In fact the gay candidate for U. S. Senator in the Democratic primary (Jacob Meister) greeted me warmly the other day when he realized I was not attacking homosexuality but rather exposing political hypocrisy on the part of Mark Kirk.
Nevertheless, the Republican Party is a conservative party and we as a party we take a more conservative approach to issues such as same sex marriage, ENDA and other gay-issues. Kirk has been a leader in Congress in advocating the gay agenda. His pro-gay advocacy is a legitimate issue in a primary to select to a conservative candidate.
Hundreds of thousands of Republicans who previously stopped voting Republican now have an incentive to come back into our primary to support my conservative campaign. If I don't win the primary, no one will have the guts to stand up and run a conservative campaign in Illinois. So vote. Kirk’s other “opponents” are not serious candidates for national office.
Fourth, what is the practical effect of my advertising campaign and my candidacy? Judy Topinka, Andy McKenna and Mark Kirk have lost control of the primary. The media can't protect them because I have taken the moral issues directly to the voters. Topinka, McKenna and Kirk could never survive having the curtain pulled back from their shenanigans. Now that I have taken my case directly to conservative Republican voters, Topinka, McKenna and Kirk are finished.
That is why I am predicting Jim Warren’s defense of Kirk was really the first of many political epitaphs for the Kirkster.
Fifth, with me as your U. S. Senate candidate, the rearmament of the Republican Party has begun. Illinois is guaranteed to become the most important national battleground in the 2010 election. In the wake of my advertising campaign the national media are already focusing attention on the Illinois senate primary.
Sixth, if you can’t fight, you can’t win. It is obvious that in a public career that now spans parts of six decades in Illinois politics, I have made some mistakes. No one is perfect. But let’s talk "Raw Politics" and "Hardball." Whoever wins the Republican primary, even Kirk, is going to be attacked by the liberal media. Any Republican candidate will be targeted.
The only thing you can say with certainty is that if the candidate does not know how to go around the liberal media, as I do, and if the candidate does not know how fight back, as I will, that candidate is doomed. I have the experience and the will to fight back. No one doubts my ability to wage war on the Democrats starting on February 3rd.
Republicans are tired of being pushed around by the liberal media. I will not be pushed around. Republicans want a fighter; I am a fighter. End of “debate.”
Illinois conservatives want to defeat Kirk. I am the only candidate who has shown the ability to accomplish that task. It won’t be pretty but we will get the job done on February 2nd. On February 3rd, a united conservative Republican Party will be ready to start attacking the Democrats instead of each other. Topinka, McKenna and Brady will be out. Conservatives will be in.
No wonder the liberals (see link above) are having second thoughts. My campaign has declared war on liberal media hypocrisy. A historic turning point has been reached in Illinois politics.
Will you join me in making history and taking back this great land from the Mark Kirks and Barack Obamas of the Washington Beltway elite? This is genuinely a historic opportunity. Don’t hesitate. And don’t miss it.
The bottom line: my campaign and only my campaign is the “Kirk Killer.” Please support me and please make a generous donation online at www.AndyforUSSenator.com to keep my ads on the air. With your financial support we will have anti-Kirk, anti-Topinka, anti-McKenna advertising on over 200 radio stations.
Let’s take back the Republican Party from these two-faced Republican liberals.
Happy New Year, God bless you all,
Andy
AM:sp
P.S. We need cash, lots of it, to keep the ads on the air. We need even more cash to platform the new “Bunker Buster” ads across the state on more than 200 radio stations. Please donate at our web site www.AndyforUSSenator.com. Today. Don’t miss this chance to score the conservative upset win of the new decade. If we win on February second, conservatives across America will win.

The bottom line: my campaign and only my campaign is the “Kirk Killer.” Please support me and please make a generous donation online at www.AndyforUSSenator.com to keep my ads on the air. With your financial support we will have anti-Kirk, anti-Topinka, anti-McKenna advertising on over 200 radio stations.
Let’s take back the Republican Party from these two-faced Republican liberals.
Happy New Year, God bless you all,
Andy
AM:sp
P.S. We need cash, lots of it, to keep the ads on the air. We need even more cash to platform the new “Bunker Buster” ads across the state on more than 200 radio stations.

New York Times creates Andy Martin/Mark Kirk “smackdown” for U. S. Senate nomination in Illinois
Andy Martin provides his “spin” on a major New Year’s Day development in the Illinois U. S. Senate campaign.
U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says the New York Times has declared the “first primary” for Illinois U. S. Senator is over
Martin says that the Times has now recognized what the Chicago Tribune acknowledged decades ago: Martin’s formidable campaign skills give him an edge in what is going to be a bloody and bitter January campaign leading up to the February 2nd “second” primary
Martin says “The Kirkster is Kaput”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS
Andy Martin says that he firmly supports the right of any candidate to run for senator against Mark Kirk, but the media have now coalesced around Martin’s candidacy as Mark Kirk’s most serious threat
Martin will produce his second “Bunker Buster” ad on January 5th. It will be even more devastating to Kirk than the first one, thanks in part to the New York Times article
Martin calls on Kirk to withdraw before his political reputation is completely destroyed
Martin declares “amnesty” for conservative leaders who join his campaign
Does Mark Kirk have a “homosexual Praetorian Guard?” Republican leader Ray True now admits he effectively made the claim
(NEW YORK)(January 1, 2010) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin issued the following statement Friday morning in response to an article which appeared in the New York Times essentially naming Martin as Mark Kirk’s only significant opponent for the U. S. Senate nomination.
Martin is in New York for the holiday and will return to Chicago on January 4th.
STATEMENT OF ANDY MARTIN
The New York Times has published a vicious attack on my candidacy and my successful forty-year career as a corruption fighter in Illinois. The “news” report is riddled with lies, snide epithets, distortions and other malicious opinions.
However, between the lines of the Times article the truth emerges. There are several “truths” which the Times has now clarified and conceded. Here are my opinions in response to the Times story:
1. While other names are on the ballot, the nomination for the U. S. Senate seat has come down to a race between me and Mark Kirk. The other candidates have been rendered superfluous by the Times story. None of them are advertising on the radio and TV. Only Kirk and I are. My radio advertising has elicited 92 articles and has gone viral on the Internet and around the world.
Voters want to see a Martin-Kirk smackdown. Both Kirk and I are experienced politicians who represent conflicting viewpoints within the Republican Party. I’m ready to debate the Kirkster. Is he ready to debate me?
2. Although the Times did not realize what it was doing, the vicious attack on me actually provided more documentation for the claims in my second “Bunker Buster” ad which is going to be produced on January 5th. Media may be permitted to witness the actual production of the ad if they request to cover the event. Please submit requests in writing [reports of the production will be embargoed for 24 hours, until the ad appears on the radio].
3. Although I have the highest respect for James Warren’s earlier journalism, before he left the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Warren lacks any respect for my investigative writing. Sad. He shamelessly distorts what I previously wrote about Barack Obama. People can buy my book (see below) and read what I said. My 2007 psychological profile of Obama is especially relevant today. I delivered a lot more insightful analysis and predictive accuracy than the dominant liberal media establishment. They lied about Obama, I told the truth. Jim Warren is still jealous of my integrity. He denigrates and depreciated me despite the fact I am both a respected author and journalist.
I am also known as the “Internet Powerhouse.” Mr. Warren is a has-been who is now writing for a “non-profit cooperative” that is supported by [tax-exempt] taxpayer dollars.
4. Mr. Warren did make one very valuable contribution to the controversy over my advertising. Ray True initially denied to local media that he had said what I quoted him as saying. Mr. True has now confirmed in the New York Times that I quoted him accurately, and that he did indeed make the remarks I quoted in my advertisement. My advertisement was 100% accurate, which is why it created such a liberal media firestorm. Mr. True is now a confessed liar.
5. Mr. Warren’s report also confirms that the “first primary” is over. There was a de facto “primary” between Mr. Kirk’s challengers as to who would emerge as the principal opponent to the Kirkster. There is no longer any dispute that I am the Kirkster's nemesis. It’s Kirk or me. When we drop our second Bunker Buster on Kirk next week, there will not be any debate, anywhere that Kirk and I are going to fight a bloody, bitter primary in January, and that on February 2nd I am going to stick the fork in the Kirkster and send him into political retirement.
6. Mr. Warren repeats a “big lie” that the Illinois Supreme Court created decades ago to discredit me after I helped remove two crooked justices from the court. As a result of Warren’s reporting, which I read with a glass of champagne in my hand, I was prompted to sue the Illinois Supreme Court next week to (i) open any and all records they assembled on me and (ii) to demand that they correct their decades-old lies smearing of my good character. Thank you Jim Warren for the inspiration to do so. I have nothing to fear from the truth. Once the truth emerges, what lies will the liberals use to smear me?
Only in Illinois does the Supreme Court smear an honest man and reward criminals. What a state. The facts are the facts. I fought corruption on the Supreme Court; they retaliated by punishing me. When the then-crooked Illinois Supreme Court attacked me it was one of the proudest moments of my life. It still is.
7. On October 5, 2008, I appeared in a cable TV program on Sunday night, perhaps the most obscure time slot in cable programming. Over a year later, the liberal media are still fulminating over my appearance on Sean Hannity and promoting the claim that I was “central” to Hannity’s program. I have claimed that my interview on Hannity became the defining media moment of the presidential campaign. Once again, the Times effectively confirms my claims. This is at least the third article which the Times has written about my appearance on Sean Hannity’s one show. I invite readers to view the video for themselves and see if I accurately predicted how Obama would govern:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
j8zj_Fj3QpY&annotation_id=annotation
_259119&feature=iv
8. While I have my rough edges, no one can deny that I am a tough and experienced fighter in the political arena. With the senate primary on February 2nd now effectively reduced to a two-man race, I hereby challenge the Kirkster to two-man debates on the substantive issues. Is Kirk afraid to debate me? We will see.
9. Clearly, the dominant liberal media are terrified that I am going to defeat Mark Kirk and go on to sit in Barack Obama’s senate seat. Liberal fears are the best evidence for Republican voters to consider that I am their real Republican candidate for United States Senator.
10. There is only final error in Mr. Warren’s report. He calls me a “lightweight.” My new year’s resolutions are to eat less and exercise more.
Overall, Mr. Warren’s piece establishes me as the media master the Chicago Tribune earlier declared me to be. Forty-eight hours after `we dropped a Bunker Buster bomb on Mark Kirk we demolished his political career. My attack was one of the most devastating political ads in American broadcasting history.
Let me be clear. Bunker Buster #2 is already set for production. Bunker Busters #3 and #4 are being prepared to follow up. We are going to be “bunker busting” Kirk until he withdraws or is defeated. Kirk is Kaput.
I call on Mark Kirk to withdraw before we have to completely obliterate his career. He is already permanently damaged by his failure to respond to the evidence against him. Since both Mr. Kirk and I are lawyers, I would advise Mr. Kirk that the “adverse inference rule” applies when probative evidence is offered against a party, and the party fails to respond. Now that Col. Ray True has recanted his earlier denial, True’s claim that Kirk is surrounded by a homosexual “Praetorian Guard” is once again on the table for discussion. Kirk has issued no response. Doesn’t he own a cell phone? Even Army PFC’s get to call home. Kirk is clearly hiding and remaining in seclusion. Why? Kirk is afraid of the truth, and especially afraid of the attack dogs in the gay media.
I will be back in my office Monday, January 5th. I invite all conservative Republican leaders, even those that have been critical of me in the past, to meet with me and to join forces so we can march together as a coalition to victory on February 2nd. We will bury Mark Kirk’s political career once and for all. All are welcome to join my crusade to return the Republican Party to facts, truth and conservative values. Previously opposing conservatives now have an “amnesty” period to join my campaign and work together.
Martin can be reached in New York through Monday morning when he flies home to Chicago.

Ninety-six hours that continues to change American politics
Dear friends and supporters,
I am in New York for a New Year’s Eve special network party.
On the plane from Chicago I looked back at an extraordinary period in my life and the life of our nation. Ten years ago I was at an unbelievable millennium party in a skyscraper. We looked out on the world and celebrated with great optimism. If you had told me then what was ahead, including living in Baghdad in 2003, I would have gasped, and then laughed in disbelief.
But then came 9/11, Baghdad, the disastrous 2008 presidential election and many more events in my life that continue to shape how I view the world and how I would serve you as a U. S. Senator.
As a Christian who has studied Judeo-Christian theology extensively, I have learned one lesson: man proposes and God disposes. We never know what lies ahead. Only God knows. But the fact that God holds ultimate wisdom and knowledge does not excuse us from the duty to prepare for the future.
At the beginning of 2009, a small committee met to shape my campaign for the 2010 U. S. Senate primary election. We assumed Mark Kirk would eventually be drawn into the process and we planned for his arrival as a candidate. There was a detailed plan, literally a “blueprint.”
Friday, New Year’s Day, we will provide an exclusive “behind the scenes” analysis of how we planned months ago to defeat Mark Kirk, and how down-to-the-day we are following a predetermined timetable. As extraordinary as it sounds, we knew day-by-day how the campaign would unfold.
Obviously, there were surprises for some of us (myself included). We have profited from unexpected bonuses, and we continue to prepare for unexpected challenges.
When our beloved President Ronald Reagan was in the White House, the hard left elitist media used to ridicule and attack him for being less than a perfect person. Guess what? I am less than perfect too.
Over 200 years ago, less-than-perfect men and women created this great nation as a beacon of individual freedom and perpetual liberty.
Reagan had a love for America and a vision for our future greatness that gave him the energy to lead us to green pastures. I share President Reagan’s vision and his passion, and his energy for bringing America back to greatness.
These are sad days for America. No, Barack Obama is not an “alien” usurper in the White House as some suggest. Tens of millions of innocent dupes voted for him. Now they are paying the price for their perfidiousness. Obama is dismantling our national heritage. Last year, I predicted Obama’s socialist revolution on Sean Hannity’s America:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
j8zj_Fj3QpY&annotation_id=annotation
_259119&feature=iv
Fighting Obama as your United States Senator will not be easy. But my life’s experiences, including the extreme challenges of the past decade, have prepared me to identify anti-American leaders such as Obama, and to stand up to such enemies of our great republic.
As we celebrate New year’s Day, ask yourself: what kind of Senator do you want? Do you want someone with a depth of experience, who can be an affective opponent of Obama’s anti-American agenda, as I am? Or do you want a senator such as Mark Kirk who generally supports Obama’s malignant agenda to disarm and demean America with gun control, hate crimes laws and restrictions on free speech?
What I have done through 2009, and what I will do on February 2nd, 2010, is offer every Republican voter a sound, solid choice: they can vote for me and vote for optimism, and the energy to attack the Democrats. Or they can vote to merely play defense against the Democratic Party’s depredations, as many Republicans think is sufficient, and support Mark Kirk.
Kirk wants to continue along Obama’s journey into the American abyss (cap and trade, abortion, etc.), just a little more slowly than Obama. I want to lead us back to the promised land of economic opportunity and personal freedom.
Do you want to move forward confidently, with a faith in America’s glorious past and future, or do you want to adopt Mark Kirk’s defeatist view and surrender to Obama’s values and monster plan to lay low the people of this nation? Following Obama’s “Chicago Way” will leave us disgraced, impoverished and diminished in the eyes of the world.
I am fighting to give you a choice. The choice is yours.
Yes, I am a fighter. And yes the words “Hardball” and “Raw Politics” can be applied to my efforts to save our state and save our nation from Obama and Kirk and others who would bow down to emperors and potentates. I bow only to the Constitution of the United States. I genuflect only to the American people. No one else.
If you want me to fight for you, I will fight. God has afforded me the privilege of being prepared to do so. Together we can proceed to rescue America and together we can redeem Ronald Reagan’s prophecy that our “best days lie ahead of us.” That is the American dream that every true American shares.
Barack Obama and Mark Kirk do not share President Reagan’s confident and optimistic view of the future. I do.
God bless you and your family and loved ones, and God bless the memory of President Ronald Reagan.
I close this message with one of my favorite pieces of scripture from the Old Testament. The Prophet Micah says that God calls on us to “act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.”
Please join me on the journey.
I need your vote on February 2, 2010.
Happy New Year,
Andy

What I have done through 2009, and what I will do on February 2nd, 2010, is offer every Republican voter a sound, solid choice: they can vote for me and vote for optimism, and the energy to attack the Democrats. Or they can vote to merely play defense against the Democratic Party’s depredations, as many Republicans think is sufficient, and support Mark Kirk.
Kirk wants to continue along Obama’s journey into the American abyss (cap and trade, abortion, etc.), just a little more slowly than Obama. I want to lead us back to the promised land of economic opportunity and personal freedom.
Do you want to move forward confidently, with a faith in America’s glorious past and future, or do you want to adopt Mark Kirk’s defeatist view and surrender to Obama’s values and monster plan to lay low the people of this nation? Following Obama’s “Chicago Way” will leave us disgraced, impoverished and diminished in the eyes of the world.
I am fighting to give you a choice. The choice is yours.
Yes, I am a fighter. And yes the words “Hardball” and “Raw Politics” can be applied to my efforts to save our state and save our nation from Obama and Kirk and others who would bow down to emperors and potentates. I bow only to the Constitution of the United States. I genuflect only to the American people. No one else.
If you want me to fight for you, I will fight. God has afforded me the privilege of being prepared to do so. Together we can proceed to rescue America and together we can redeem Ronald Reagan’s prophecy that our “best days lie ahead of us.” That is the American dream that every true American shares.
Barack Obama and Mark Kirk do not share President Reagan’s confident and optimistic view of the future. I do.
God bless you and your family and loved ones, and God bless the memory of President Ronald Reagan.
I close this message with one of my favorite pieces of scripture from the Old Testament. The Prophet Micah says that God calls on us to “act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.”
Please join me on the journey.
I need your vote on February 2, 2010.
Happy New Year,
Andy
