ANNOUNCEMENT OF CHICAGO NEWS CONFERENCE:
MIDDLE EAST EXPERT AND INTERNET EDITOR ANDY MARTIN WILL SEEK REPUBLICAN NOD TO RUN AGAINST SENATOR DURBIN
(CHICAGO)(January 11, 2007) Chicago-based Internet journalist, broadcaster and critic Andy Martin will hold a news conference Thursday, January 11th at 11:00 A.M. to announce he is seeking the Republican nomination for U. S. Senator to run against Sen. Dick Durbin. Martin will lead criticism and counterattacks on Durbin’s Iraq priorities.
Andy spent much of 2003 in Iraq and worked in Baghdad as an investigative analyst and bureau chief. He strongly opposed the invasion of Iraq. He is a respected Middle East expert who first went to the area in 1971.
Martin is the Executive Editor and publisher of ContrarianCommentary.com. Andy holds a Juris Doctor degree (1969) from the University of Illinois College of Law. He has been fighting political corruption in Illinois for forty (40) years and helped lay the foundations for Operation Greylord that sent corrupt Chicago politicians and judges to jail.
“I will try to unify Republicans in Illinois,” says Martin. “It won’t be easy. My opposition to the war in Iraq is well-known. But I believe that only a Republican who has challenged our policies in the Middle East will have any chance of being taken seriously. 2008 will be a very difficult year for Republican candidates.
“Nevertheless, as a Middle East expert whose analysis and predictions have received international credibility and respect I am the only Republican with the cred and experience to run against Senator Durbin. It will be a David and Goliath contest, and I am practicing my slingshot techniques. My template will be Everett Dirksen’s upset victory over Scott Lucas in 1950.
Ironically, both Durbin and Martin worked for U. S. Senator Paul Douglas in 1966. “I think Senator Douglas would be deeply disappointed by the way Durbin has become an agent of betrayal and backstabbing in our foreign policy,” Martin states.
“Republicans in Washington fumbled the ball. They started in the 1990’s with sound proposals and programs and ended up as corrupt hacks. They paid the price. Now it is time to rebuild with good policy. But the Democrats are equally guilty and equally corrupt.
“My campaign will build on mainstream, Middle American values. It is time for the Land of Lincoln to be heard again. Mr. Durbin will be a formidable opponent but so will I.”
