NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE Conservative blogger and corruption fighter Andy Martin says Jesse Jackson should step down from office

Conservative blogger and corruption fighter Andy Martin says U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. is an embarrassment to the City of Chicago and Illinois politics; Jackson should resign from office. Andy says the “Jesse Jackson soap opera” is making a joke of Chicago at a time when the city faces urgent problems. Andy will hold a New York news conference today to announce he will file a complaint with the Illinois State Board of Elections to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot if the missing congressman does not appear by July 16th. “If Jackson has not resigned or appeared personally in public and made coherent remarks I will take action at the Illinois State Board of Elections Monday, July 16th to ask the SBE to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot and to declare the congressional seat vacant,” Andy says. “Jackson is not entitled to ‘disappear’ from his public office and continue to draw a salary and maintain control over his public trust. This soap opera must end.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says he will ask Illinois state officials to remove Jesse Jackson's name from the November ballot



Andy says the missing congressman must appear and speak coherently by July 16th



Andy calls the Jackson Family “an embarrassment to the City of Chicago at a time when the city is under unprecedented stress”



Andy made a similar threat against Senator Mark Kirk and forced Kirk to make a limited video appearance; Andy is still studying the Kirk matter



Andy says he gets “moody” just thinking about Jesse Junior’s many scams

(NEW YORK) (July 12, 2012) Conservative blogger and corruption fighter Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference today to announce that if U. S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. does not appear in public and speak coherently by Monday, July 16th Andy will ask the Illinois State Board of Elections to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot and declare the congressional seat vacant.



“The Jackson Family’s soap opera has gone on long enough, with ‘Jetstream’ Jesse the father refusing to answer questions about his son and the cryptic remarks by Jackson Junior’s wife. Enough is enough. The Jackson Family is an embarrassment and disgrace to the City of Chicago at a time when the city faces urgent problems and a nationwide and international public relations disaster,” says Internet Powerhouse Andy.



“It is time for Jesse Jr. to either resign or appear in public and speak coherently. If Jackson is unable to function by July 16th I will ask the State Board of Elections to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot and to declare his congressional seat vacant,” Andy says. “Congressional politicians have been much too generous with themselves taking off from their official duties for extended periods of time. Reasonable limits should apply.



“The claim that Jackson is invoking federal medical privacy statutes is a joke. When you run for public office you lose a lot of privacy. When you hold public office you lose any privacy concerning your ability to perform the functions of your public trust. (Tribune link below) For Jackson’s mouthpieces to just say Jackson has a ‘mood disorder’ is not enough to cover up the latest Jackson Family scam.



“Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell calls Jesse Jackson Junior ‘royalty.’ (link below) I suggest the Jackson Family is more of an embarrassment than a royal blood line. Jesse Senior has been an embarrassment since the 1960’s. Jesse Junior is incapable of holding down a congressional office without engaging in adultery and chicanery. What kind of ‘royalty’ is this? The Jacksons have made a career of exploiting political public intimidation and private profiteering.
