Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin says “Three cheers for the Illinois Center Right Coalition”

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin says the June 30 convention of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) in Elgin offers some hope for reform of the Illinois Republican Party. The ICRC has called for the removal of state Republican Chairman Pat Brady. Andy noted that Republicans nationally consider the Illinois Republican Party a disgrace.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin salutes the Illinois Center Right Coalition (“ICRC”) on its June 30th convention



Andy says the ICRC is the only Illinois conservative organization that has called for the removal of the Illinois Republican Party’s corrupt and incompetent leadership



Andy compares today’s Illinois Republican Party structure to a prison “chain gang” which is run by corrupt lawyers in Chicago and a former prison guard who intimidates downstate Republicans



Andy notes that Illinois Republican leaders were recently caught in a criminal money-laundering scheme orchestrated by wealthy Chicago businessman Ken Griffin and his wife Anne



(CHICAGO)(June 30, 2012) Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin says the Illinois Center Right Coalition (“ICRC”) is the only organized political committee that has called for removal of Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady and his cabal. “Truly, the ICRC has lit a candle in the deepest darkness,” Andy says.



“Today the Illinois Republican Party does not even have an office. It is a ‘shadow’ political organization that exists solely on paper by virtue of state law and runs with only a phone number, fax machine and post office box.



“The Illinois Republican Party is a thugocracy run like a prison chain gang by former prison guard Randy Pollard, who is the downstate ‘enforcer’ for the Chicago-based ‘Combine’ of corrupt Republican and Democratic Party business interests. Pat Brady is their front man.



“Not every Republican official is corrupt. Many are just timid. They are afraid to speak up and challenge the disgraceful performance of Illinois Republicans. In 2010 they couldn't even stop a governor that promised to raise taxes if he was reelected (Pat Quinn). The state legislative leadership is corrupt, incompetent and just plain pathetic.



“Illinois Democrats have scorn and contempt for Republicans.



“At a recent Republican ‘state convention,’ delegates were ‘elected’ in secret, in violation of state law. The ‘highlight’ of the ‘convention’ was childish name-calling by Brady. No real voting was allowed by the delegates and party reform efforts were stifled and stymied.



“While the ICRC is far from a powerful operation, the fact that any conservatives has the guts and grit to stand up and expose the obvious, that the Republican Party is corrupt from Pat Brady on down to Randy Pollard and his downstate punks, stands as a testament to the painful truth and reality. Most self-proclaimed ‘conservatives’ just wait quietly for any crumbs that fall from the high tables of corruption in Chicago.



“I hope the ICRC will not bend in the face of financial pressure from senile former-conservative-and-today-Mark-Kirk-love-bug Jack Roeser and others. Roeser threw the ICRC convention on the street after the ICRC advocated for Brady’s removal. Roeser, Brady, Pollard and Pollard’s downstate castratos make a joke of the term ‘conservative.’



“Recently the Illinois Republican leadership was caught in a criminal money laundering scheme orchestrated by Chicago businessman and political wannabe Ken Griffin and his wife Anne. I hope the ICRC passes a resolution today condemning Griffin for further corrupting the party with criminal cash. What were the Griffins thinking?



“Onward ICRC. Reforming Illinois politics is not easy, but it is a never-ending necessity. Stay true to the course of trying to ‘repeal and reform’ the Illinois Republican Party. Now where have I heard that phrase before?



“Finally, we should remember the ultimate ignominy for Illinois Republican leaders: they are the jokers who gave the nation Barack Obama for president. Without Illinois Republican Party corruption and connivance Obama would never have become a national ‘leader,’” Andy observes. “Go ICRC.”

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin says Mitt Romney wins the White House; Obamacare is a Pyrrhic victory for Obama

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin says that history will record President Barack Obama’s “Obamacare” victory in the Supreme Court today as the ultimate Pyrrhic victory. Andy concludes that Mitt Romney won the White House on June 28, 2012. “Christmas, and a presidential campaign victory, came early for Mitt Romney,” Andy says. “The Supreme Court has saddled Obama with the ‘biggest tax increase in history.’ Americans are stuck with a convoluted statute that took hundreds of pages to explain. Public anger will reach a crescendo on November 6th. Let’s have a Tea Party.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says Obama lost the White House in today’s Supreme Court decision



Andy says that if Obamacare is a “tax” then the media are wrong to claim the Supreme Court “upheld” Obamacare; a tax can only be challenged after it is imposed



Andy says under federal law a lawsuit on the legality of Obamacare-as-a-tax has merely been postponed



Andy says the stock market has now exposed the real winners under Obamacare: the hospital industry (hospital stocks rose after the ruling)



Andy says this is a “Phalanga facta” moment for conservatives; the party will now become a phalanx pointed at Obama and his socialist Democratic Party cohort



(NEW YORK)(June 28, 2012) Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin believes Mitt Romney won the White House today. “Mitt Romney is an incredibly lucky man,” Andy says. “In ‘upholding’ Obamacare, which is not what the Supreme Court actually did, Romney was handed an issue that will galvanize the nation and thrust him into the Oval office. Barack Obama may try to spin the Supreme Court’s decision as a ‘victory.’ But the ruling is the ultimate Pyrrhic victory. Obama won the appeal and will lose the White House.



“I realize that my views are ‘contrarian.’ The media are spinning today’s decision as a victory for Obama. That’s simply not true. Most reporters today lack any political substance or experience. That’s why their political insights and judgments are usually so off-the-mark.



“First, if Obamacare is indeed now a tax, then Obama has imposed the biggest and most complex ‘tax’ in American history.



“We used to debate whether Obamacare constituted a ‘government takeover of health care.’ By declaring Obama’s scheme a tax, the Supreme Court has confirmed that we do confront a government takeover of health care, a takeover, moreover, under the virtually unlimited power of Congress to tax instead of under the more limited congressional power to regulate pursuant to the Commerce Clause.



“Today America has become a tax-directed dictatorship. If Congress can tax everything and anything under the power to tax, we face an imperial Congress even more dangerous to the American people than we initially suspected. The Court’s action today justifies dictatorial congressional enactments under virtually limitless powers to tax. Chief Justice John Marshall wrote ‘The power to tax is the power to destroy.’ The Court today destroyed healthcare by claiming to save it under the rubric of a ‘tax.’



“Second, if Obamacare is a ‘tax,’ then Obamacare has not been upheld today because federal law is clear that a tax can only be challenged after it is imposed, which is 2014. So, at best, the Court’s ruling today is a limited declaration of legal status that can only lead to new lawsuits in the future. By declaring Obamacare a tax the Supreme Court has only postponed any litigation.



“Third, Obamacare is a crass attempt to buy votes from illegal aliens and other groups by ‘taxing’ senior citizens and reducing Medicare benefits to subsidize people who do not pay taxes and are merely living off government handouts. Senior voters are likely to be even more united and even more active against reelecting Obama. Their pocketbooks are at stake.



“Fourth, Obamacare was always a nightmare because of its complexity and rigidity. Now that the court has apparently created a limited state ‘opt out’ provision for Medicaid the law will become even more confusing and even less beneficial to working families that actually pay taxes.



“Fifth, look at the stock market. Hospital corporation stocks are skyrocketing. Who really profits from Obamacare? Now we know. The medical industry.



“Sixth, for the court to take a law that was passed as a ‘fee’ and then to retroactively declare that the ‘fee’ is really a ‘tax’ is a judicial usurpation. It is precisely the kind of judicial activism that Americans have come to despise. Chief Justice Roberts, who was a Washington insider before he was a judge, has done Washington’s bidding. It is not that Roberts loved the people less, but that he loved the Washington establishment more. Obamacare is a bonanza for Washington lobbyists, insiders and copperplate profiteers.



“Finally, to any conservatives or independents who might have had doubts about Romney, now those doubts have been eliminated. Today’s ruling is a ‘Phalanga facta’ moment for the conservative army. The American people will form up as a phalanx and point at Obama with devastating force on November 6th. I can’t think of any action by the court that would have energized the ‘base’ more.



“The combination of a weak economy and an imperious judiciary will doom Obama’s reelection chances. The judges’ sleight-of-hand in converting a fee into a tax will not sit well with the American people.



“Personally, I disagree with the 5-4 majority. How can you call this massive regulatory scheme a ‘tax?’ The ruling makes a joke of the term tax. Congress passed a law by explicitly claiming it was not a tax, and the court has now rewritten the law to reclassify the enactment as a tax. Judicial activism anyone? Hello?



“The 2012 presidential has essentially become a referendum on Obamacare. Some states [such as Florida and California] can enact and repeal legislative enactments by ‘referendum’ or popular vote. The U. S. Constitution ought to have such a provision, but does not. Nevertheless, Obamacare has now become the central focus of the election. If I were Obama I would not be happy at that prospect.



“Romney needed a defining issue to galvanize the electorate and to energize his campaign. The Supreme Court handed Romney that issue on a silver platter.



“Get used to it: President Romney. Obama lost the election today,” Andy concludes.

NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE: Lawsuit planned to restore “God Bless the USA” to PS 90 school graduation ceremonies

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference today, Tuesday, June 12, 2012 to threaten a lawsuit against the New York City Department of Education if Chancellor Denis Walcott’s decision to uphold Public School 90 Principal Greta Hawkins decision to ban singing of “God Bless the USA” is not reversed. “With due respect to Chancellor Walcott,” Andy says, “he made an incorrect decision, socially, educationally, morally and patriotically. I hope a lawsuit is not needed, and that the Chancellor will reconsider and reverse himself. But, if not, we are heading to court later this week.” A copy of Andy’s letter to the Chancellor follows in this news release.

Chancellor Dennis Walcott

NYC Department of Education

Tweed Courthouse

52 Chambers Street

New York, NY 10007



Courtenaye Jackson-Chase, Esq.,

General Counsel to the Chancellor

Tweed Courthouse

52 Chambers Street

New York, NY 10007



Dear Chancellor Walottt

and Attorney Jackson-Chase:



I am writing to notify you of my intent to file a federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of New York concerning the actions of Principal Greta Hawkins of PS 90 in banning the use of “God Bless the USA” as a graduation song.



Let me start with the obvious: the national motto of the United States is “In God We Trust,” 36 U.S. Code § 302. We are “one Nation under God,” 4 U. S. Code § 4. I don’t see how the singing of “God Bless the USA” could be controversial.



The bizarre behavior of the school principal has become a national controversy. New York City is being made to look stupid.



Let me follow-up by stating I am delighted to see immigrant parents standing behind the concept of their children singing what has become a popular patriotic song. One of the criticisms we hear today is that immigrants do not “Americanize,” and we are balkanizing as a nation. What greater symbol of American acceptance could there be than a school that wants to celebrate our nation? It is sad to see the school system acting as a balkanizing agent.



The actions of the principal are bizarre and contrary to common sense.



We turn now to the issue of a lawsuit.



Chancellor Walcott has suggested the principal has almost unfettered discretion to censor school events and to impose her own personal religious values and attitudes on the school-as-a-whole. I respectfully disagree. The Chancellor’s decision turns logic and the law on their head. What is permitted by the U. S. Constitution, and the U. S. Code, is ipso facto acceptable conduct for local officials.



The New York Daily News reports there have been racist attacks on the principal. I deplore any such behavior. But I do respectfully fault the Chancellor for being weak-kneed in the face of the need for strong, patriotic executive leadership.



I grew up on a college campus in an academic family. I am also a retired adjunct professor, who may teach again. In my opinion, the common schools perform no greater service than when they expose and introduce the outstanding qualities of America to immigrant children. My mother grew up in an immigrant family; we are eternally grateful to this great and generous nation for the opportunities afforded her by the people of Manchester, New Hampshire. All of the collective hopes and dreams of immigrants since time immemorial are condensed into our history and our culture, and our common schools.



How wonderful to hear children want to sing a song celebrating our nation. How deplorable that the adults have much such a simple gesture controversial.



That we would substitute a child romance ballad by Justin Bieber is idiotic. What are we trying to provide in the way of “age appropriate” encouragement? Bieber's dating and love-making lyrics? For shame. The excuses for upholding the principal’s bizarre decision are asinine and embarrassing to the city as a governmental institution.



Most respectfully I ask you to reconsider your decision to affirm the principal’s decision. I think the need for a lawsuit should be a last resort. I am asking you to exercise your sound judgment as a first resort.



I see no shame in your reconsidering a decision now that the city has received national scorn for your action. Listen to the American people. They help pay the school bills for the children of New York City. You should want to avoid making a national laughingstock of the New York City schools.



The type of bizarre and irrational decision by Ms. Hawkins that you endorsed, moreover, erodes overall public support for the public schools, and undermines your mission to enhance the reputation of the city’s school system.



If Principal Hawkins is the type of principal produced by Mayor Bloomberg’s decade of reforms, then the reforms are a colossal failure and waste of money. Ms. Hawkins may be a wonderful person; I hope she is. But she is no school administrator and no decision-maker.



I would appreciate a decision on my request to reconsider by no later than the close of business at 5:00 P.M. on June 13. Failing same, I will file suit on Thursday.



I have emailed this letter to various attorneys on the Counsel’s staff and faxed a copy to media relations because there is no email or fax address for either the Chancellor or the Counsel. You might think of adding more direct contact information to your site. Be accessible.



Respectfully submitted,



ANDY MARTIN

Andy Martin: President Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of treason and should be impeached

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative Blogger Andy Martin, who usually treats President Barack Obama with some deference, says Obama is guilty of treason and should be impeached. Andy says Obama is endangering the national security of the United States by grounding the U. S. space program at a time when China is launching manned space flights and planning to establish a base on the moon. “This is not Newt Gingrich stuff,” Andy says. “China’s manned space program poses a real threat to our national security.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Internet Powerhouse and conservative blogger Andy Martin says Barack Obama is guilty of treason and should be impeached

Andy condemns Obama’s dismantling our space program and Obama’s exhibitionism about destroying our national space power

Andy says the U.S. House of Representatives should impeach President Obama and send his case to the Senate for trial

Andy says Obama “mocked the American people” when he allowed the decommissioned space shuttles to be flown past the Statute of Liberty and other American landmarks

(CHICAGO)(June 10, 2012) My regular readers know that since I began writing about then-Senator Barack Obama in 2004, when I exposed him as a political fraud, I have tried to afford Obama the deference due his office. I do not, for example, refer to Obama as a “usurper,” as some anti-Obamaites do. Obama did not usurp anything; we were dumb enough as a nation to hand Obama the White House on a silver platter, and he took it. Millions cheered. (I did not.) So he is an opportunist for sure, but he is no usurper.

Most people think Obama will be remembered primarily for being the “first black president.” I think he could be remembered in ignominy for being the first president to deliberately endanger U. S. national security by committing treasonous acts against America’s national security.

I usually try to refer to Obama as “President Barack Obama” at least once in a column, so no one thinks I am being unnecessarily insulting. By accusing Obama of treason I do not mean to be insulting; I genuinely believe Obama is guilty of treason.

Given my measured use of language, my accusation today that

Obama is guilty of treason is a serious accusation. “Attention must be paid.”

I also believe defeat at the ballot box in November

is not a serious enough punishment for Obama: he should be impeached, tried and removed from office.

Let’s start with the basics: we, the American people, are the Constitution. Without our muscle and blood to defend the nation and to protect world stability, our Constitution would be little more than an honorable-sounding but hollow piece of paper. It is the willingness of the American people to put their lives where their Constitution is that makes the Constitution a living document and a powerful one.

Likewise, our national security is something we may delegate to Congress and the executive branch. But it is our willingness to put our lives on the line, as Americans do every day in faraway places, that actually backs up that security.

So why should Obama be tried for treason? How is he endangering our national security? Obama has undermined our national security and world stability by allowing China to develop a manned space program while at the same time grounding U. S. astronauts. China’s manned space program is a far greater long-term threat to world peace than the Iranian nuclear program. China can, and will, eventually use its space program to engage in space-based blackmail.

I vividly remember the day Russians launched sputnik. I was a newspaper delivery boy and each morning at 5:30 A.M. was busy throwing The Hartford Courant on peoples’ porches. That day I saw the sputnik story. Americans were shocked. Washington had fumbled away our lead in space. We were frantic for a recovery. We wanted to restore American leadership. And we did. President John F. Kennedy pledged to go to the moon; as a nation we committed ourselves to that goal. We succeeded.

Earlier this year Obama grounded our space program and decommissioned the remaining space shuttles. Then, in an act that can only be seen as a contemptuous mocking of the American people, Obama ordered our helpless and disabled space shuttles to be flown around U. S. landmarks, as a way of silently saying “I have taken away another symbol of American national power. Statute of Liberty, pay heed.” Today Chinese astronauts are preparing to fly into space; our fleet of space shuttles has been mothballed and is being displayed in museums.

[Fair is fair department: President George W. Bush was also a jerk when it came to continuing our manned space flight program. Bush preferred to wage senseless wars instead of protecting our national economic security and continuing our lead in space exploration. Bush endangered and undermined our space program by failing to plan for and develop a future space vehicle; Obama senselessly killed off the entire program. Obama could have been a hero if he kept America flying in space. Instead he chose to pay obeisance to his foreign masters and finish of the disaster Bush had begun.]

Most of my adult life has been devoted to a study of military and intelligence policy. The military potential for China to endanger America if China has a manned space program and we do not is astronomical. Space is potentially just another battlefield, another dimension where conflict could be launched and maintained. Obama admits that potential attacks in cyberspace pose risks to our safety; why not attacks from space itself? We acknowledge the oceans require an American presence, although Obama is trying to shrink that presence as well. Why has Obama decided to remove any American manned presence in space?

When the United States is weak, world peace is endangered. It’s as simple and straightforward as that. President Kennedy wrote a Harvard student thesis on “Why England Slept” while Hitler and Nazi Germany rearmed. British and American weakness begat World War II.

I hope presidential candidate Governor Mitt Romany promises in his acceptance speech to create a crash program renewing the United States commitment to manned space and space exploration.

I am not suggesting we weaponize space, although we need to keep a close eye on what China is planning. Rather, we need to be the best and strongest nation when it comes to projecting a presence in space if we expect the potential of space not to be used against the U. S.

Space blackmail could be only a few years away. China is placing people in space; we have no comparable means of doing so. Some day they will call our bluff and initially embarrass us with their power. Then they will demand tribute. We will be exposed as nothing more than a superpower blowhard. We will be doing the kow’tow to our Chinese emperors just as vassal states bowed down hundreds of years ago.

During the Watergate years there were extensive debates on what constituted an impeachable offense. In my opinion, failing to respond in kind to a national challenge in space is an impeachable offense because the consequences of failure could be catastrophic. If China has astronauts in space while we do not, and we have no means of responding to challenges or threats from space, the United States is finished as a world power.

China knows what the long-term consequences of their qualitative and quantitative manned space program superiority are. America gradually becomes a second-rate power that is subject to bullying and intimidation. Obama makes a lot of noise about a local issue, bullying in classrooms; but Obama has nothing to say about potential bullying by China once China has a functional manned space program and we have no way of responding to the challenge.

Russia rose to world parity with the United States in large part because of the successes of Russian cosmonauts. Will China be any different? Why? P.S. Russia still has a manned space program. We buy tickets on Russian rockets. Aspirin, anyone?

Obama knows the risks he is creating; he doesn’t care.  That’s treasonous.

And now you know why Obama should be impeached for treason: he is endangering the national security of the United States by grounding our manned space program.

President Romney, we need you. President Romney, please promise to create and restore a crash program to place a man in space. That commitment was originally launched by President Kennedy. America was endangered in 1961. America is endangered today.

It’s time to rally round the flag, and rally round the Constitution, and rally round our rebuilt and rebuilding space program. It’s time to charge Barack Hussein Obama with treason. President Obama is an enemy of the United States of America. Remember this column later this month when China sends astronauts into space and we have no comparable capability. We will be looking on helplessly and stupidly on the sidelines, as China conquers space while Obama dismantles our ability to project similar capabilities. Be afraid.

CHICAGO NEWS CONFERENCE: Senator Mark Kirk is violating federal law with Randy Pollard’s no show job

Illinois corruption-fighter, Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference today, Friday, June 8th, to announce that he has asked federal prosecutors to investigate possible criminal charges against Senator Mark Kirk and Republican Party factotum Randy Pollard. Andy says Kirk gave Pollard a “no show job” on Kirk’s federal payroll for which Pollard has few duties and no qualifications. Pollard collects $65,000 year in a “political kickback” from Kirk. Using federal funds to subsidize political employees is a crime, Andy says. Andy is asking federal prosecutors in Illinois to open a grand jury investigation of the Kirk/Pollard relationship.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF CHICAGO NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND CHICAGO/ILLINOIS DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Illinois corruption-fighter and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin is asking federal prosecutors to open a grand jury investigation into Senator Mark Kirk because Kirk is using his federal payroll to subsidize political operatives in Illinois



Andy says Randy Pollard lacks any visible qualifications to collect a $65,000 federal paycheck as an “outreach coordinator”



Andy says Senator Mark Kirk’s characterization of Randy Pollard’s U. S. Senate job as being an “outreach coordinator” is nonsense



Andy says Pollard does not work in Springfield, does not live in Springfield and in reality is nothing more that a federally-paid political operative



(CHICAGO)(June 8, 2012) Illinois corruption-fighter and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference today, Friday, June 8th 2012 to announce that he has asked federal prosecutors to open a grand jury investigation into the “no show job” Senator Mark Kirk has awarded Illinois Republican Party (“IRP”) factotum Randy Pollard as a “political kickback.”



Andy’s bombshell disclosure comes in the middle of the IRP’s state convention today and Saturday in Tinley Park.



Federal employees are prohibited from doing political work on federal time and senators are prohibited from using their federal payrolls to subsidize “employees” whose principal role is political activity.



“I have asked federal prosecutors to convene a grand jury investigation into the role played by IRP political goon Randy Pollard in Mark Kirk’s senate office (see links below). Illinois Republicans have a long history of political corruption; just ask Deb Detmers, John Shimkus and George Ryan, all accomplished crooks. But federal payrolls are not supposed to be used to fund political operatives. Former Cook County Treasurer Ed Rosewell was prosecuted for having a similar ‘ghost payroll.’



“Randy Pollard has no qualifications to collect a $65,000 federal paycheck. Pollard is a Republican Party goon who leads the ‘public employee caucus’ of the state Republican Party. These people use state politics to obtain no-show jobs and to advance themselves through political patronage. But federal law prohibits using federal funds in a like fashion.



“So what does Pollard to do earn $65,000 as an ‘outreach coordinator?’ What is he ‘coordinating?’ Pollard was a prison guard for 25 years. So he is collecting a state pension check as well as a federal paycheck for Kirk's no-show job.



“I don’t doubt that Pollard makes an occasional political appearance for Kirk. We track Pollard’s whereabouts. But are those appearances worth $65,000? Or is Pollard’s role primarily just to collect a paycheck for a non-show job, as payback for having helped rig the 2010 primary to benefit Kirk? Pollard doesn't work in Springfield, doesn’t live in Springfield and has no visible duties or serious job description. So why does Kirk list Pollard on Kirk’s Springfield payroll?



“Pollard, on the other hand, is virtually a full-time factotum of the IRP. In other words, Kirk is using his federal payroll to subsidize local politics, the same way Kirk’s offices have become the de facto headquarters of the local state IRP. The IRP no longer has any offices of its own and works out of a post office box in Chicago.



“The reason Republicans have forfeited leadership of Illinois government for two decades is that they have forfeited their own ethics and morals. Republicans love to prattle and post embarrassing news stories and preachy comments about Democrats on their ‘weareillinois.org’ web page, but the IRP is just as corrupt and just as sleazy as Illinois Democrats. The state is sinking in a sea of bipartisan sleaze.



“I had planned to start ‘Kirk Week’ earlier this week, but fighting the corruption and cronyism at the IRP state convention took more time than I expected. We are now proceeding with Kirk Week. Stand by for more disclosures.”



Andy will release a copy of his letter to federal prosecutors at this afternoon’s news conference.

June 7, 2012

Dear Republican:

Tomorrow (Friday) the Illinois Republican Party (“IRP”) will begin a two-day “state convention.” The convention may be illegal.

The list of delegates is secret. Who are we hiding the names and addresses of delegates from? Why the secrecy? (Secrecy is a regular feature of IRP state conventions.) Sadly, corrupt Republican Party insiders are hiding the names and addresses of delegates from us, ordinary Main Street Republicans. These crooked insiders don’t want us to know who the delegates are so we can ask the delegates to let our voices be heard. It’s as simple and sad as that. Party insiders are trying to muzzle Republican voices.

More importantly, state law is blatantly being violated. Illinois state law requires delegates to be chosen at a county convention. (You can read the state law in my lawsuit attached to this email.) Almost all of the current delegates were not chosen at a county convention. Their appointment was illegal. (Note to potential criminal defendants: if you try to doctor your county records to falsify when and how your delegates were chosen for the 2012 state convention, falsification of your party’s local records could land you a taxpayer-paid vacation next to Governors George Ryan or Rod Blagojevich.)

I have filed a lawsuit to invalidate both the secret list of delegates and to reverse the unlawful delegate selection procedure. I am asking the court to order a new state convention with delegates lawfully and properly selected in accordance with the clear requirements of state law.

Lawsuits are often complex and confusing to read. But my lawsuit is simple and straightforward. I have attached a copy of my lawsuit to this email. Take a look.

Is there a pattern here? The facts indicate there is. The insiders have tried to choose a congressional candidate—in secret. The insiders have chosen “delegates”—in secret. They are conducting a convention with delegates chosen in violation of state law.

Do the insiders think we are stupid?  Actually, they do. They think they can get away with corruption and manipulation because they have been getting away with corruption and manipulation.

Are you willing to stand up and fight for direct election of a state central committee that would be accountable to local Republican voters in each congressional district? I am fighting to achieve representative leadership with state central committee members chosen in a primary election instead of being chosen by party insiders behind closed doors.

Are you willing to join the fight to protect your vote and your right to choose who speaks for you? If not, why not? Why would you want to devalue your own vote by letting someone else cast a “vote” for you?

I’m doing my share to fight to make the Republican Party the majority party in this state. The insiders are fighting to keep their perquisites and privileges and insider deals. They don’t care about a Republican “minority” or “majority” as long as they collect their own personal goodies. Under the current corrupt leadership Illinois has gone from a Red State to a Blue State. The IRP used to have its own offices in Chicago and Springfield. Today the IRP does not have an independent office anywhere. The IRP is led and run out of a post office box in Chicago (check http://www.weareillinois.org/contact/ to confirm that fact).

Again I ask, where do you stand? I ask you to Stand Up for Illinois. I ask you to Stand Up for direct election of state central committee members. I ask you to Stand Up for democracy.  If you don’t, the insiders will take your right to vote away from you. In some measure, they already have.

Best wishes,

ANDY

On Wisconsin! Andy Martin heads for Wisconsin to help block Scott Walker recall

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative Blogger Andy Martin is heading for Wisconsin to help respond to former President Bill Clinton’s misrepresentations last week. Andy has been a Clinton nemesis since 1993 when he opposed Janet Reno for Attorney General. Andy says Clinton tried to bamboozle Wisconsin independent voters into supporting public employee unions that are demanding unsustainable pay and employment benefits.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Internet Powerhouse and conservative blogger Andy Martin heads for Wisconsin





(CHICAGO)(June 4, 2012) Internet Powerhouse and Conservative Blogger Andy Martin is heading for Wisconsin to help defeat efforts to recall Governor Scott Walker.



“I’ve been acting as a ‘truth squad’ for Bill Clinton since 1993 when I opposed the nomination of Janet Reno for attorney general” Andy says. “Bubba talks a sweet line, but it’s all cotton candy.



“The reality is that most of our state governments are broke when you evaluate their unfunded and contingent liabilities. Dead broke. The Clinton Democrats want to fool the American people—and Wisconsin voters—into believing there is an easy, painless way out of out debt dilemma. There is no easy exit.



“Bill Clinton was saved by the Republican congressional victories in 1994. With a Republican congress Clinton could stave off the left-wing ‘crazies’ that wanted to bankrupt America then, and are still trying to bankrupt America today.



“I am a strong supporter of union rights for private employees. As long as a union is honestly run and the leadership is not milking union dues for personal enrichment, unions fill a vital role.



“But public employee unions are pernicious. Public ‘employers’ bargain with the very ‘employees’ that control votes to elect them. How’s that for a conflict of interest? How’s a bankrupt America, a bankruptcy Illinois, a bankrupt California, a bankrupt New York, all because of excessive public employee demands?



“Scott Walker took on the unions and ‘balanced the books’ in Wisconsin. Walker’s job was not a popular one. And so, yes, he took ‘hell’ from the unions for cutting off their spigot of public cash.



“As a Republican and as a conservative, whose presidential campaign is still alive though not active, I stand with Scott Walker. If Walker wins, America wins. If Walker loses, America loses. Wisconsin, it’s as simple and straightforward as that.



“On Wisconsin!”



[Andy’s presence in Wisconsin will be released once he crosses the border from Illinois into Wisconsin. Andy will be counteracting Clinton’s misrepresentations as well as offering to do scut work on election day.]

NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE: Andy Martin says “Fauxchahontas” Elizabeth Warren is serving Jimmy Jones-style Kool-Aid to Massachusetts voters

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference today, Sunday, June 3, 2012 to renew his call for Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren to withdraw as a Massachusetts U. S. Senate candidate.




“Massachusetts Democrats have taken a big gulp of Warren’s Kool-Aid,” Andy says. It may prove fatal to the party. I read Warren’s ‘interview’ with Brian McGrory; it’s creepy. In a sane world, ‘Fauxchahontas’ would become Nochahontas.’ Mass Dems don’t even believe in democracy. They denied a primary to test Warren’s campaign chops.” The Boston media have taken to calling Warren “Faux”chahontas after the legendary Indian princess Pocahontas. Andy says its time for “Nochahontas” to exit Left. Andy may expand his upcoming Republican Victory 2012/New Hampshire efforts into neighboring New Hampshire into Massachusetts to help defeat Warren.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND NEW YORK DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says Massachusetts Democrats have taken a “Mike Bloomberg-sized ‘Big Gulp’” of Elizabeth Warren’s native-American Kool-Aid; somewhere, Jimmy Jones is smiling



Andy says Warren should have stepped down before the chaos she is about to create defeats Massachusetts Democrats



Andy says starting in 2013 students will study Brian McGrory’s Boston Globe interview with Warren as the beginning of her surreal, suicidal campaign for the US Senate



Andy may expand his upcoming Republican Victory 2012/New Hampshire efforts into neighboring Massachusetts



(NEW YORK)(June 3, 2012) Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference today, Sunday, June 3, 2012 to say that Massachusetts Democrats have taken a super-sized swig of Elizabeth Warren’s Kool-Aid; her candidacy could kill the entire Massachusetts ticket and give Romney the state. Andy may expand his upcoming “Republican Victory 2012/New Hampshire” campaign into neighboring Massachusetts.



“I have been at national politics for forty-six years,” Andy says. “I say that to establish I have seen a lot. I even played softball in Senator Bobby Kennedy’s back yard.



“I have seen a lot of candidates that were pumped up by the media, and imploded on the campaign trail. I remember the suicidal Massachusetts politics of the 1960’s. But I have never seen a bunkum artist like Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren is the worst. Whackadoodle doesn’t begin to describe her.



“Why Massachusetts Democrats took a Mayor Bloomberg-sized drink of Warren’s crazy Kool-Aid I don’t know. But after I reread Brian McGrory’s interview (link below) with Warren I felt creeped out.



“I thought Democrats believed in small-d democracy. Why would they hand out a senate nomination without a primary? The Party’s Saturday convention (June 2nd) is going to come back to haunt Mass Dems.



“In fact, I think Warren’s coronation—oh, I’m sorry, nomination—might even put the state in play for Mitt Romney.



“Why did McGrory’s interview give me a creepy feeling? There are many reasons; here are some.



“First, although Warren says she doesn’t remember when and how she raised her bogus native-Americanism with her employers, she refuses to release her employment records. She said her employers ‘have all made the same statement.’ Well la-dee-da. They all took the same party line. But that is not the public’s line. ‘If you can’t remember, then you must release.’ It’s as simple as that. ‘Release your records, Elizabeth,’ can be a rallying cry.



“Second, Warren is still opaque as to how her employers did gain the knowledge that motivated them to list her as a minority hire. ‘I’ve never seen any Harvard forms…,’ she says. Hello? Did the tooth fairy deliver Nochahontas’ family background news to law schools? Maybe ‘the stork?’ How did they find out?



“McGrory’s interview made her situation worse, not better. She called the reporter pretending that she was finally ready to be ‘candid,’ and then she lied all over again.



“Third, Warren is my ‘candidate’ to win this year’s ‘Mark Kirk I misremembered award.’ He also of the faulty and self-serving memory. Warren told McGrory she ‘misunderstood the question’ when asked about newspaper reports she had claimed native-American status. ‘Misunderstood?’ Mark Kirk said he ‘misremembered’ awarding himself imaginary medals. And she wants to be a senator? She can’t even understand a basic question about her heritage? Senator Mark Kirk is smiling. He has a new soul-mate.



“Fourth, Warren tells McGrory her mother was ‘distinctly native-American.’ She even lists her mother’s two tribes (Cherokee and Delaware). So if mom was ‘distinctly’ native-American, how is Warren only 1/32nd Indian? There is a massive disconnect between what Warren told McGrory about her mother, and the actual blood lines that have been disclosed to date. Attention must be paid.



“If we are to believe what Warren told McGrory, her mother was ‘distinctly native-American’ but Warren never traced her mother’s lineage and never participated in any family event where the Indian blood line was even discussed. Warren’s Indian ‘story’ sounds more WASPish and cold-blooded than even a ‘chosen frozen’ [Episcopalian] joke. Normal people talk about their backgrounds. Warren claims she never did.



“Why would Warren’s father’s family have been angry at their son’s marrying someone who was 1/16th native-American (assuming that Warren is now 1/32nd)? Did Oklahoma have a ‘one drop’ rule?



“Fifth, the bizarre visit to Oklahoma with Noah Bierman was—no surprise—Bierman's fault. ‘He [Bierman] never asked,’ Warren says about her heritage. How would Bierman know to ask if there was no trace of Warren’s ‘heritage’ except in obscure academic rosters? Maybe Warren is also part Hawaiian. We don’t know. Bierman ‘never asked.’



“Sixth, Warren might be a political dope but she probably has competent people working under her. They surely asked about her past. She says she never discussed her ‘distinctly native-American’ ‘heritage’ with her staff.



“Does Warren’s husband even know? Or does she claim her husband is a direct descendent of Chief Sitting Bull? Bull---- is more like it.



“Seventh, there are ‘lawyers’ and there are lawyers. Warren has never really practiced law, probably never tried a jury trial and probably never interviewed the victim of a violent crime. She does not appear to have any lawyerly ‘street smarts.’ She is a professionally effete ‘law professor.’ Barack Obama, anyone? Her lack of actual legal experience doesn’t disqualify Warren from politics; a lot of politicians who are nominal attorneys can’t find the door to a courthouse, Mark Kirk and Barack Obama among them.



“But Warren is parsing words and dissecting her family history in a way that only a Harvard law professor can accept or appreciate. Maybe Professor Barack Obama can accept her nonsense. Warren is being cut to ribbons where it really counts, in the courtroom of public opinion and on the streets of Massachusetts where ordinary voters can’t stomach highfalutin liars.



“Finally, Warren’s braggadocio at the state convention will come back to haunt her. She could have acquired [d]emocratic legitimacy by winning a contested primary. Instead she continues as an [un]tested candidate who will be haunted by her own prevarications and evasiveness.



“Campaigns are about ‘issues.’ To be sure. But campaigns are first and foremost about people. If you don’t feel you can trust someone, you don’t really care where they stand on the issues. (As I have noted before, I tend to agree with Elizabeth on the need for more consumer protection, which is why I am an ‘independent’ Republican.)



“Later this week in Chicago I will be announcing our Republican Victory 2012/New Hampshire campaign to spearhead a New Hampshire Republican victory in 2012. We have now gone back to the drawing boards to see if we can generate the resources to expand Republican Victory 2012 into Massachusetts. Warren is a prime target for a truth squad,” Andy states.
