Dear Friends:

It has been nearly six months since we have had to solicit any financial support for our efforts. The Committee’s financial resources are once again depleted.

Here is what we need:

Second National Conference:

We are convening a Second National Conference on Barack Obama’s missing birth certificate and missing high school/college/law school records. We estimate that the cost of producing the conference will be approximately $2,000, covering space rental, videotaping (for Internet posting), editing, etc. If you can contribute financially to helping us run a successful conference, please do. If you can also attend, more’s the better.

“Obama: The Hawai’i Years”:

Our short film “Obama: The Hawai’i Years” is almost ready to view. We plan to release it before the National Conference in December. We are still short of money to complete the project and are running in a deficit situation. We need $7,500 to finish the project. If we receive $10,000 we will be able to afford to post the entire film on the Internet unedited, instead of posting it on YouTube in short segments.

In the film we ask the questions that we have asked in the past, as well as making new inquiries. We offer some new, expanded answers. And we do so with pictures of Hawai’i and Obama’s early years. And, finally, we point to the unanswered questions about Barack Obama’s family history.

Even though I am very knowledgeable about Obama’s past, actually producing the script and going to Honolulu to shoot the film helped me to probe deeper into the mysteries surrounding the man. Obama’s opaque “roots” are not something that can be deciphered in one pass.

We need your financial support to do justice to the historical research we are conducting and producing.

Unlike some of Obama’s critics, I have been scrupulously honorable and honest in seeking only the truth about him, and trying to find only the facts about his past. Because of my passion for the truth and the facts, I seem to get under Obama’s skin, whereas his critics who float unsustainable theories are ignored. Obama wants to hide the truth; help us in our search for the facts.

Please help support these projects financially.

Please note that all contributions to the conference/film should be made through the Committee of One Million web site (www.committeeofonemilliontodefeatbarackobama.com), NOT through my U. S. Senate campaign web site (www.AndyforUSSenator.com). We keep completely separate records.

Please feel free to call if you have any questions.

I know I can count on you to make a contribution that supports our historical research.

Faithfully,


ANDY MARTIN

Dear Friends:

The “Second National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate and College Records” is taking shape. Here is our first update.

Because I have always limited myself to searching for the truth and finding the facts about Barack Obama, I enjoy worldwide credibility as the first investigative scholar on Barack Obama’s early years. I believe it is inappropriate to attack Obama with anything less than the facts and truth. My book on Barack Obama, “Obama: The Man Behind The Mask” continues to sell on Amazon.com and through the publisher OrangeStatePress.com because it is an attempt to get at the truth behind Barack Obama.

As all of you know, I am currently a Republican candidate for United States Senator in the February 2, 2010 Illinois primary. During the past several months I have devoted 100% of my time to the campaign. On December 28th we will be “full-time” on the campaign once again. But there is a brief period in mid-December when we can meet to discuss Obama developments.

I know that all of you want to discuss and review developments in 2009 concerning Obama’s birth and high school/college/law school records. So we are organizing a Second Conference for December 19-19 in New York City. Obama continues to refuse to release his original typewritten 1961 Hawai’i birth certificate. He refuses to release any of his Punahou School (Honolulu private school) records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records or his Harvard Law School records. Obama’s says “trust me;” do you?

1. Location

The conference will be held in New York City December 18-19. We plan a Friday evening session, 7-9:00 P.M. December 18th, and a Saturday morning afternoon session December 19th. The conference will be videotaped for broadcast on the Internet. We are scouting for a meeting location in midtown Manhattan.

Obama saboteurs stole the tapes of our first National Conference in Washington, DC. We will ensure they do not steal the tapes of this meeting. For some reason, Obama and his associates are terrified of the investigative work we do on his personal history. What is he hiding? What doesn’t he want us to find out?

2. Hawai’i freedom of information materials

We received a very generous grant to cover the costs of paying the State of Hawai’i for freedom-of-information materials. Unfortunately, those materials did not arrive in time for our first National Conference. We are reviewing the materials for our New York meeting.

3. Conference Registration fee and ID requirement

As always, we need some advance indication of how large the attending group could be to make space-planning decisions. Therefore, we have added a nominal $35 advance registration fee which covers both sessions. The door charge will be $50 to attend one or both meetings. Please fill out the attendance form and mail it back with the $35 to arrive in New York before December 16th. Please include a copy of a photo ID so we can confirm your identity when you arrive at the conference. (The late fee will be $50 cash only “at the door” with a photo ID.) Once we know how many to plan for, we can work out how formal or informal to be.

We are currently scouting midtown meeting options in Manhattan. We will notify you by e-mail as soon as we choose a location. You can also follow developments on our blog.

4. Conference agenda

In the near future you will be receiving the first draft of our proposed agenda. You are invited to begin submitting suggestions, comments and proposals for any future revisions.

We do have a big “surprise” planned for the conference, of course. That will be revealed at the Saturday morning session.

5. All are welcome—but please bring evidence, not illusions

Anyone is welcome to register and attend our conference. But please, if you want to express a theory, bring some rational, tangible evidence to support your claims about Mr. Obama. Those of you who know me know I am committed to working only with accurate information and, as we lawyers say, “reasonable inferences drawn from the available facts or available documentation.”

Pie-in-the-sky will not fly. Hucksters who use bogus documents to obtain anti-Obama publicity only undermine legitimate inquiries into Obama’s opaque past. We need to search for the truth and look for the facts.

6. Security

We will have adequate arrangements for security in case Obama’s desperate sycophants try to disrupt us again.

7. Media

Media are welcome, but we would suggest you let us know in advance. We will be providing twitter.com updates during the conference (twitter.com/AndyMartinUSA).

8. Visitors to New York City

Just a reminder: December 18-19 is a pre-holiday weekend in New York. If you plan to stay overnight, we suggest you make early plans. A good place to look for affordable lodging is Queens.

We will be issuing updates of this letter, so please feel free to make suggestions.

And please also remember we operate on a shoestring, so contribute any shoestrings you can afford. We are going to issue a separate fundraising letter.



With best wishes,



ANDY MARTIN

Obama film, “Obama: The Hawai’i Years,” set for November debut in Chicago

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin’s long-expected film, “Obama: The Hawai’i years,” will open this month in Chicago. Martin’s work was delayed both by harassment and abuse from Barack Obama’s supporters and then by Martin’s U.S. Senate campaign. In the Republican primary, Martin faces Barack Obama’s biggest supporter in the Republican Party: extreme liberal Mark Kirk.

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will announce release of his new film, “Obama: The Hawai’i years”

Martin filmed on location in Honolulu.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THURSDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN SPRINGFIELD

Andy Martin is set to release a new Obama film: “Obama The Hawai’i years”

Obama operatives have tried to disrupt the film and harass the producer Andy Martin

Martin says release of his new film may renew questions about Obama’s missing typewritten 1961 birth certificate

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin has a worldwide reputation for his research in Hawai’i on Barack Obama’s family history, for his bestselling book, and for his blockbuster appearance on “Hannity’s America”

(SPRINGFIELD, IL)(November 12, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a Springfield news conference Thursday, November 12th to announce the release of his new film, “Obama: The Hawai’i Years.”

“I am excited,” Martin will state. “Barack Obama has done everything he can to sabotage our film project, and to sabotage me personally. His dirty tricksters constantly harass me with illegal activity. He wasn’t able to stop me or my film.

“The film is an outgrowth of our original investigative trip to Hawai’i in October, 2008. After learning I was seeking an interview with his grandmother, Barack Obama also appeared in Honolulu. Over the past year Obama and his thugs have done everything they can to disrupt my research and investigation into his past:

“Obama attacked me for appearing on Sean Hannity’s ‘Hannity’s America.’ That backfired.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=
j8zj_Fj3QpY&annotation_id
=annotation_259119&feature=iv

“Obama tried to smear me with a front page story in the New York Times. That backfired. The more Obama tried to stop me, the more I was able to stop him.

“White House operative Robert Gibbs tried to smear me on Fox News. That backfired as well. On and on it goes.

“Why is Barack Obama obsessed with me? Because, unlike many of his critics, I have maintained a scrupulous commitment to searching for the truth and trying to find the facts about this elusive person. That’s why we went to Honolulu, and that’s probably why Obama followed me there.

“We originally planned to release the film last summer. But Obama’s harassment delayed production. Obama’s operatives have stolen some of the tapes we produced last April in Washington. We have filed suit to recover that property.

“We continue to search for the truth and seek to find the facts.

“Our first film is short, but it places Obama’s missing past in visual context.

“There are several critical points I would like to make today.

“First, Obama continues to refuse to release his original typewritten 1961 birth certificate. What is he trying to hide? The facsimile document that he released is missing significant data.

“Second, Obama claims he was born in a Honolulu hospital. That fact is also unproven. The hospital will not release its records.

Unlike some of Obama’s critics, who claim he was born in Kenya, I have found no evidence to sustain that claim. My expert opinion as an investigator and researcher is that Obama was born somewhere in Hawai’i.

“Third, when I speak as a candidate for the U. S. Senate, I am an opponent of Barack Obama’s political agenda. Indeed, I am Obama’s toughest adversary, running in the primary against Obama’s biggest Republican supporter, Mark Kirk. Mark Kirk's political agenda is Barack Obama's agenda.

“Fourth, when I speak as an author/investigator/artist, I speak to the truth, not to an agenda. I have been relentless in searching for the truth and working to find the facts about Obama. I have not massaged the facts of his life to fit my political agenda, and I do not cut my political agenda to conform to his past. The roles of political leader and author/producer are distinct, and I respect that distinction in my work.

“Fifth, when I work as a candidate/political opponent I do inject my views. As a writer/producer, I insert my artistic opinions and my creative analysis.

“Sixth, when we began pre-production earlier this year, Obama was at the peak of his power. It was difficult to obtain financial support. We produced this short feature on a budget. We simply did not have the resources necessary to do a complete treatment. In the film, we appeal for more money to continue our research.

“Now that Obama’s influence has begun to decline, people are renewing their interest in his unknown personal records and opaque family history. Once again, I have one-upped ‘Barry O.’ Because he delayed my project, Obama insured my film would arrive at a time when there is growing public interest in his peculiar biography. My new film is a first step in discovering Obama’s unknown past.

“Seventh, during the past several months, the Illinois process for ballot access, called ‘petitioning,’ virtually took over my life. Petitioning took precedence. Now that I am on the ballot, I have more control of my schedule. When my senate campaign schedule permits, we will again work in the courts to fight for access to Obama’s historical records as well as developing new projects.

“Eighth, Barack Obama would probably not satisfy all of his opponents and end speculation about his past if he released his original files to public scrutiny. But he could eliminate a lot of doubts about him which are held by honest and honorable Americans. That's why I call myself a ‘doubter,’ not a ‘birther.’

“The number of Americans who would like to know the truth about Obama’s past—to see his original birth certificate, his Punahou School records, his college and law school records--is growing.
The doubts which Obama creates with his secrecy will not go away with continued secrecy. They will only become more insistent, more acute and more disruptive for the Obama administration.

“Ninth, this film will disappoint some of Obama’s critics, because I acknowledge that he did in fact get more votes than the Republican, and the means by which this ‘president’ came into being reflects a fascinating story of unlikely people thrown together in an improbable story.

“We try to provide an opportunity for all points of view to be heard. As I immersed myself in Hawai’i history, I came to understand Obama better; I want people to feel we have been fair to Obama, even if he has not been fair to me. That’s the American way.

“Tenth, we plan to post the film in short segments on YouTube, with the same intro and a fund appeal, as well as offering a ‘paid’ version of the uncut production for $9.95. We will start taking orders shortly. We are exploring posting an uncut version on the Internet as well. Funds will be a factor. As always, we are short of cash and working on a shoestring.

“This film is not the last word. It is the first word. I hope to stimulate additional financial support. And more research.

“As a political opponent of Barack Obama, perhaps the most effective and persistent political opponent Obama has ever faced, I want to lead the effort to defeat his agenda in the U. S. Senate.

“Obama has not been able to stop me. Not in 2004. Not in 2007. Not in 2008 and not in 2009. I hope the people of Illinois will afford me the privilege of serving them in the United States Senate. If they do, Obama will have failed, once again, to stop me. Both as a political leader and Obama investigator I have over forty years of television, radio and media experience.

“But as a writer, author, researcher, investigator, scholar and artist, I will continue to study this man’s past objectively: in Honolulu, New York, Cambridge, Chicago and today in the White House.

“Finally, I hope people enjoy this film. As I have done for a growing audience over the past five (5) years, my writing and research has made the truths and unknown truths about Barack Obama more accessible and understandable to the American people,” Martin will state. “They may not have been listening carefully in 2008. They are listening very carefully now.”

Andy Martin discloses Barack Obama’s “family secrets”

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin, the mere mention of whose name sends President Obama into fist-clenching rage, comments on the new “novel” by Barack Obama’s putative “half-brother.” The “war” between the two men, Barack Obama and Andy Martin, may escalate if Martin is elected to Obama’s former U. S. Senate seat and ends up in Washington challenging the president Martin has done so much to expose over the past five years.


U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin explains the myths about Barack Obama’s origins, and the enduring pain of Obama’s birth

ANDY MARTIN
Executive Editor
ContrarianCommentary.com

“Factually Correct, Not
Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin says that for Barack Obama, the ignominy of his birth endures, the lack of identity shadows his every moment

Senate candidate Martin is Obama’s strongest and most persistent adversary on political matters; but Martin sympathizes with the man Andy calls “Barry O” as a human being

(CHICAGO)(November 5, 2009) Although I am currently a U. S. Senate candidate, and primarily focused of being nominated for the senate from Illinois, I can’t help commenting on the latest book by Barack Obama’s half brother:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/
content/article/2009/11/04/
AR2009110401214.html?hpid=moreheadlines

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/
world/asia/04brother.html?_
r=1&scp=1&sq=Obama%20+%20brother&st=cse

Although Obama has done everything he can to destroy me personally and politically, I consider that a compliment. For some mysterious reason, I am the only person outside his immediate family who seems to have stumbled on the deep, emotional truth about his origins. Barack Obama’s “family secrets.” Obama hopes that by abusing and harassing me, he can rid himself of his demons. But the demons endure. They always will.

Barack Obama’s half brother, born of Obama’s “father’s" second "wife" in the United States, has produced a “novel” of extreme cruelty and abuse by his father.

Unfortunately, Obama won’t admit the truth about his parentage. He continues to harbor an extreme sense of personal shame. I explored Obama’s inner conflicts in columns which became my first book, “Obama: The Man Behind The Mask.”

The more I write the truth about Obama, and pursue a lawsuit in Hawai’i seeking release of his original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate, the more angry and anguished Obama becomes.

But while I am Obama’s leading political opponent in the current election cycle, and he fears my presence sitting in his former U. S. Senate seat from Illinois more than any other candidate, I have never been a personal opponent of the man.

If you read an Internet interview concerning my views, you will probably agree I share Obama’s sense of frustration at his origins.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZwON6dKHks

Now that Obama is the president, it is Obama's inner demons that make him so reluctant to lead, so obsessed with “show” because his entire life has been a “show,” designed to deflect the truth about himself from himself, as well as from the public.

What are the facts about Barack Obama? What are his “family secrets?”

First, the man generally considered Barack Obama’s “father,”Barack Hussein Obama, Senior” is probably not Obama’s biological father. I want to label and underscore this paragraph as my opinion; I have not yet established the underlying DNA evidence to confirm my beliefs. I think Obama will some day admit to the world that, yes, Frank Marshall Davis was his biological father.

Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father” was not based on “dreams” about or from his “father” because Barack Obama was never a genuine father figure.

On the contrary, Barack Obama, Sr. was a lecher who moved from woman to woman, fathering children whose legal status remains questionable to this day. Obama, Sr. is supposed to have fathered eight children by four women.

Whether Frank Marshall Davis was the biological father, or not, “Frank” became Obama’s real father. Frank was the man to whom Obama has dedicated his life. Frank was a communist. Well, you get the picture.

Obama came to Chicago, where Frank was a close friend of journalist Vernon Jarrett and Louie Farrakhan, and other Black leaders. Frank’s “shining city on a hill" was Chicago, not Honolulu. It was to Chicago that Obama came to achieve fame and fortune, and it was Frank’s network of old friends who advanced Barack’s career.

In Hawaiian we would say that at a minimum Frank was “ohana.” “Ohana” is a concept that recognizes the impact and influence of “a village” on a person’s development. Ohana is extended family, including persons who are not necessarily blood relatives.

Even if you disagree with me that Frank Marshall Davis is the biological father (no one can disagree that Frank was Obama’s spiritual father), things get worse, not better, when we turn back to Barack, Sr.

The reality of Obama’s birth explains his enduring shame and frustration.

Obama was illegitimate or, as we say today, “nonmarital.” In 1961, the term was “illegitimate.” That was the word Barack eventually harbored inside himself. No doubt children at Punahou in Honolulu teased young Barack about his origins. Those painful memories endure.

Why was Obama illegitimate? Because his “father,” Barack Sr. was married to another women.

Barack, Sr. was married to Kezia Obama, with whom Obama had already fathered children before he left Kenya for Honolulu and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Obama’s publicity agents and supporters pretend that Barack, Sr.’s first marriage was a Kenyan “tribal” marriage and thus not entitled to respect and recognition in the United States. That is simply untrue as a matter of U. S. law.

Barack Obama, Sr. was married in Kenya at a time when British law prevailed. When Kenya became a free nation in 1963, the new government recognized the prior efficacy of British law. British law respected and acknowledged tribal marriages. So while Obama tries to minimize or ignore his “father’s” “tribal" marriage, under British law the Kenyan marriage of Barack, Sr. was entirely legal and controlled his matrimonial status in Hawai'i. He had never divorced Kezia.

When Barack, Sr. entered into, or may have purported to enter into, a “marriage” in Honolulu with Ann Dunham, he was a bigamist. Barack Obama was the product of a bigamous relationship.

Under Hawaiian law, there is no way “Obama” could have been born an “Obama” if his mother was never legally married to his father. That may be one of the secrets Obama is hiding on his original 1961 birth certificate. Only the document itself will speak the truth.

As a lawyer, if not a great one, Obama knows and understands these basic legal principles. American law recognizes and generally gives “full faith and credit” to British law and marriages in U. S. Courts. A married man in Britain or Kenya could not have come to the United States in 1960 and lawfully claimed he was “unmarried.”

In defense of Obama's mother, she was 18 years old and probably too unsophisticated to understand what was happening to her.

So the Obama marriage in Honolulu, whether papered over with bogus documents and licenses or not, was a bigamous relationship in which Obama’s mother Ann Dunham never legally became Mrs. Barack Obama.

Under Hawai’i law, Obama is illegitimate, because his parents were never legally married, see Tagupa v. Tagupa, 108 Hawai’i 459, 121 P.3rd 924, 926 (Hawai’i ICA 2005). The relationship was void.

Obama’s half-brother may be in the same limbo. His mother also tried to ignore the “tribal” marriage; Barack, Sr. remained loyal to Kezia until his death. We can’t say for sure whether the first marriage was ever legally dissolved.

When stripped of all of his evasions and prevarications, the truth about Barack Obama is painfully straightforward, and painful nonetheless. Obama has lived with these inner demons all of his life, and they are the key to unlocking his personality.

And so, you can pick your theory. Either, as I believe, Frank Marshall Davis is Barack Obama’s father. The fact that Frank’s “secret” was never disclosed to his son while Frank was alive is an immense burden on Barack’s soul. Or, Barack Obama’s father was a bigamist, his mother was never legally married and he was born illegitimate. Under either approach, Obama was born into pain, and has endured that pain his entire life.

Obama has desperately attempted to shield the truth from the public, although the reality is that most Americans wouldn’t care about Obama’s unfortunate origins. We are too big a nation to blame a baby for the acts of his parents. But, still, Obama will not allow the truth about him to escape. He cannot release the inner pain. Obama cannot accept his inner shame.

And in the meantime, Obama unleashes his operatives to smear and harass my campaign for the U. S. Senate. Will Obama succeed in defeating me? Republicans will decide.

That is also why in October, 2008, as I was walking down a Honolulu street working on an interview with his grandmother, I learned Obama was on his way to Hawai’I to join me. Coincidence? You be the judge.

I had unlocked the family secrets of Barack Obama in Honolulu . And he will never forgive me for knowing the truth and telling the truth about him.

Of course, that is why the dynamics of a “U. S. Senator Andy Martin” in Washington provides such explosive potential for a dramatic confrontation between truth and fantasy in Obamaland.

I will always be deeply sympathetic to Barack Obama’s plight as a human being. But I lead the efforts to defeat and destroy his political programs and anti-American agenda.

Unless I end up like Saint Thomas à Becket.

And now back to the 2010 Republican Party primary election for U. S. Senator from Illinois. Wish me well.

URGENT APPEAL: The Committee of One Million to Defeat Barack Obama raises money to oppose President Barack Obama's radical agenda and also to support www.BoycottHawaii.com.www.CommitteeofOneMilliontoDefeatBarackObama.com Please give generously. Our ability to fight and defeat Barack Obama's political agenda is directly dependent on the generosity of every American."The Committee of One Million to Defeat Barack Obama has no bundlers, no fat cats and no illegal contributions. Obama is opposed to almost everything America stands for," says Executive Director Andy Martin. "But while Obama has raised a billion dollar slush fund, his opponents lack sufficient resources. Americans can either contribute now, or pay later. If we do not succeed, Obama will."
