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.”

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE EIGHTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
IN AND FOR DUPAGE COUNTY, ILLINOIS
No. 2009 L 1406 AT LAW
ANDY MARTIN,
Plaintiff,
v.
GLEN K. SOLO,
3928 N. PARK STREET
WESTMONT, IL 60558
ANDREW SOLO,
3928 N. PARK STREET
WESTMONT, IL 60558
CANDIDATE “X”,
ADDRESS UNKNOWN,
Defendants.
_____________________/
VERIFIED COMPLAINT FOR MONEY DAMAGES AND OTHER RELIEF
Preliminary Statement
Illinois election law permits a variety of unsavory “petition” practices that are barred by federal law. For example, federal election law bars candidates and their campaign treasurers from acting fraudulently or seeking to conceal the true nature of their expenditures by using straw men to act surreptitiously on their behalf.
The practice of financial concealment is generically called “money laundering” and is a violation of federal law.
Some member of the defendant “Solo Family,” referred to as “Solo and Solo” below, appears to be acting as a surrogate for Candidate “X.” In the course of this litigation, Plaintiff will ascertain the identity of candidate X and substitute his or her name as a defendant in this lawsuit.
[COUNT ONE]
[MONEY LAUNDERING – CIVIL RICO]
1. Jurisdiction and venue
a. This court has jurisdiction to hear and determine the matters presented pursuant to People v. Lewis, 295 Ill.App.3rd 587, 693 N.E.2d 916, 920 (Ill.App. 2d Dist. 1998) citing Tafflin v. Levitt, 493 U. S. 455, 110 S. Ct. 792 (1990).
b. Venue is proper in DuPage County. The “Solo” defendants reside in DuPage County.
c. The Code of Civil procedure is to be “liberally construed” to protect the “substantive rights of the parties.” § 735 ILCS 5/1-106.
d. Both the Illinois Constitution and U. S. Constitutions protect the substantive right to be a candidate for federal office, although the U. S. Constitution reserves to the State of Illinois the ministerial duty of actually conducting federal elections.
2. Factual allegations
a. The parties
A. The Plaintiff
1) Plaintiff is a candidate for United States Senator in the February 2, 2010 general primary.
2) Plaintiff has filed petitions with the Illinois State Board of Elections (“SBE”).
3) As part of his pre-filing due diligence prior to filing this lawsuit, Plaintiff contacted Solo and Solo by Federal Express; the defendants have refused to respond to the circumstantial evidence that some unlawful activity is being conducted by one or more of them. Plaintiff has drawn an adverse inference from the silence of these defendants as permitted by Illinois law, see e.g. Gabriel v. Columbia National Bank, 228 Ill.App.3rd 240, 592 N.E.2d 556 (Ill.App. 1st Dist. 1992).
B. The defendants
1) On information and belief (“OIB”) Glen K. Solo is the only person listed as an owner/occupant at the address given by “Andrew Solo” to the SBE.
2) OIB the status of defendant “Andrew Solo” is currently uncertain because he is not listed in any public database as residing at the address that some person furnished to the SBE.
3) OIB Candidate “X” is the person, or campaign committee or Campaign Treasurer of Candidate X, who furnished the cash to Glen/Andrew Solo which was then laundered and paid to the SBE.
4) OIB the relationship between Solo #1 and Solo #2 is currently undefined, and they are referred to as “Solo and Solo” pending further pleading and discovery.
b. The Facts Giving Rise to This Lawsuit
A. On or about November 5, 2009, defendant “Andrew Solo” of “Solo and Solo” copied the nominating petitions of six (6) candidates for United States Senator, see group Exhibit A attached hereto, including Plaintiff’s petitions.
B. Illinois law permits “ambush” attacks on candidate petitions, as well as the use of nominees, pseudonyms, straw men and other deceptive political practices. Federal law prohibits bars these practices.
C. OIB Andrew Solo of “Solo and Solo” was obviously acting for someone else; Solo’s undisclosed principal furnished the consideration for Solo’s payment to the SBE.
D. The purpose of using a “straw man” such as “Andrew Solo” of Solo and Solo is create a layer of secrecy between the candidate who is planning dirty tricks, such as candidate “X,” and the public awareness of that candidate’s political machinations. Such secrecy is permitted by Illinois state law, but barred by federal law for federal candidates. Federal law controls in this state for federal elections.
E. OIB it also appears possible that Candidate “X” may have recruited unsuspecting or unsophisticated straw men to act on candidate X’s behalf, and that Solo and Solo are dupes or victims of candidate X. Obviously, until we know who paid Solo and Solo and these defendants are deposed, it is impossible to plead facts with definitive clarity.
F. OIB Candidate “X” is obviously planning harassment and ambush attacks on up to six (6) candidates for United States Senator, and seeking to disrupt and corrupt the Republican Party primary for that office.
G. OIB Plaintiff is an Illinois corruption fighter of over forty (40) years standing, who has successfully exposed and prosecuted corrupt individuals and public officials, including corrupt judges, including as the catalyst for the legendary “Operation Greylord.” Plaintiff has a moral duty to act, as well as a concrete personal interest in exposing the Solo and Solo/Candidate “X” fraud scheme.
3. Legal claim
a. Money laundering is unlawful as a civil offense pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1961 (1)(B), § 1964.
b. Money laundering is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1956 (a) (1)(3) as a transaction designed “in whole or in part” to either “conceal…the source..of specified unlawful activity…” or “to avoid a transaction reporting requirement under State or Federal law.
c. Under Federal law, federal candidates are required to truthfully disclose the actual nature of their disbursements, and not to use pseudonyms or straw men or subterfuges to conceal the source and nature of their financial activity.
d. Had Candidate “X” simply disclosed his or her activity openly, we would not be in Court. Candidate X sought to conceal his or her activity by using “Solo and Solo” as “front men” for “X’s” activity. This pattern of prevarication constituted money laundering.
e. Candidate “X’s” activity constitutes prohibited activity under federal law even though the target of the fraud was an Illinois state agency and other federal candidates such as Plaintiff.
4. Demand for judgment
Plaintiff sues and demands judgment as follows:
a. A judgment that defendants Solo and Solo must disclosure the source of the cash used by one or both of them to purchase copies of candidate petitions from the SBE.
b. Full disclosure as to the manner in which Candidate “X” disbursed funds from his or her campaign account and paid Solo and Solo for their services and related activity.
c. Ancillary money damages in an amount not to exceed $50,000 on all counts, with the total recovery in this action from all defendants limited to $50,000.
d. Such other relief as may be necessary and proper to do complete justice between the parties.
[COUNT TWO]
[DECLARATORY JUDGMENT]
1-2. Plaintiff repeats and realleges Paragraphs 1-2 of Count One and further pleads:
3. Legal claim
a. This Court has jurisdiction pursuant to Lewis, supra, and Levitt, supra, to permit Plaintiff to seek declaratory relief as to his right to full disclosure of the financial activity of Solo and Solo.
b. The controversy between Solo and Solo and candidate “X,” and Plaintiff, meets the requirements for entry of a declaratory judgment pursuant to § 735 ILCS 5/2-701.
4. Demand for judgment
Plaintiff sues and demands a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief as follows:
a. Declaratory judgment that Plaintiff is entitled to the identity of the person who furnished federal campaign cash to Glen/Andrew Solo and the manner in which said funds were disbursed to one or more of these individuals;
b. Ancillary money damages in an amount not to exceed $50,000 on all counts, with the total recovery in this action from all defendants limited to $50,000.
c. Such other relief as may be necessary and proper to do complete justice between the parties.

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.”
