Washington, DC news conferences: Andy Martin opposes Penny Pritzker as U. S. Secretary of Commerce; demands President Obama “tear down this wall” barring White House tours

Andy Martin, Barack Obama’s original critic and America’s leading independent conservative author/investigator, will hold a series of news conferences, events and symposia in Washington, DC March 28-30: (1) announcing a “fighting camp” to oppose Penny Pritzker as Secretary of Commerce; (2) reprising President Ronald Reagan’s dramatic Berlin speech with an updated 2013 demand: “Mr. Obama, tear down this wall! [around the White House, closing the Peoples’ House to tours];” (3) discussing the impact of the Iraq War on the Republican Party; (4) questioning whether it is time to impose bipartisan limits on President Obama misuse of federal funds for “family” vacations and (5) demanding that President Obama stop his plan to deprive the CIA of independent drone capability




Andy, a Middle East expert and early opponent of the Iraq invasion, will begin a “national security weekend” by conducting a symposium Friday evening on the calamity of the Iraq War and holding a news conference Saturday to demand that Obama allow the CIA to continue to drone operations. “When Congress stands down, for a vacation,” Andy says, “We stand up to continue the battle against the evil emperor who has locked shut the doors of the White House and violated Jesus’ mandate to ‘suffer the little children to come unto Me.’”

ATTENTION NATIONAL AND WASHINGTON, DC DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Obama critic Andy Martin will fill the gap left by congress-in-recess by conducting three days of news conferences and events challenging President Obama March 28-30 in Washington, DC



Initially Andy will announce a “fighting camp” to battle the nomination of Penny Pritzker to be Secretary of commerce



Andy will follow with a symposium on the Imperial Presidency and ways to rein it in



The dramatic high point of Andy’s operations will be a confrontation at the White House gates when Andy reprises President Reagan in Berlin and demands “Mr. Obama, tear down this wall (and reopen the White House to the American people)”



A "national security weekend" will open Friday evening with a discussion of the impact the Iraq war has had on the Republican Party.



Saturday morning Andy will demand that President Obama not endanger national security by removing CIA drones from the agency’s control



(WASHINGTON, DC) (March 27, 2013) New Hampshire Republican leader and corruption-fighter Andy Martin will hold a series of news conferences and events in the nation’s capital March 28-30 to continue attacks on President Obama while congress is away on recess.



Andy’s schedule follows:



Capital Hilton - 5:00 P.M. News conference March 28:

(for all Capital Hilton events please ask for Andy’s suite)

Penny Pritzker



Andy announced recently in Chicago he would lead opposition to the nomination/confirmation of Penny Pritzker as U. S. Secretary of Commerce. Thursday he announces he’s hunkering down for a battle against Pritzker by setting up a “fighting camp” to oppose Pritzker’s nomination.



Capital Hilton - 7:30 P.M. Symposium March 28:

The Imperial Presidency



When Democrats are in power, Republicans complain about excess presidential spending and excess vacationing by the president. When Republicans are in power, Democrats do the same. Andy will discuss whether the time has come for Congress to adopt a White House budget and to specify what are and are not allowable expenses for the president. (For example, Andy personally favors limiting Michele Obama’s spending; no one elected her.)



White House entrance - 1:30 P.M. News event March 29:

“Tear down this Wall”



Friday afternoon, after attending Good Friday services, Andy will walk over to the White House fence and reprise President Reagan’s "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” moment by demanding that “Mr. Obama, tear down this wall” and reopen the White House to tours. “The closure of the White House while the Obama family spends millions of taxpayer dollars on endless vacations and self-indulgence is a disgrace,” Andy charges.





Capital Hilton - 7:30 P.M. Symposium March 29:

Will the Republican Party recover from the Iraq War?



Based on his Middle East expertise, Andy was an early opponent of the plan to invade Iraq. He lived in Baghdad for part of 2003. He is working on a novel about his year there. And he opens the floor for reaction and discussion of remarks by recent columnists (please see Group Link #1 below) that President Bush’s invasion of Iraq did incalculable damage to the Republican Party. Andy predicted that damage in 2006 and warned Republicans – but the Party had to be defeated before leaders would realize they were out of step with the American people.



Capital Hilton - 11:00 A.M. News conference/symposium March 30

Is Obama trying to destroy the CIA by removing drones?



Andy accuses President Obama of trying to undermine and weaken the CIA by removing an in-house drone program from the CIA. Andy suggests that the Obama plan will endanger national security by depriving the CIA of modern technology (please see Group link #2 below). “The CIA is not a law enforcement agency,” Andy says. “The CIA is not a military force. It is a clandestine service that must have available and accessible all of the technology of modern intelligence, including armed and unarmed drones. That has been the lesson going back to the OSS. President Obama’s plan should be rejected by Congress.”



Andy’s familiarity with the CIA is based on over forty years of experience in Asia, Southwest Asia and the Middle East; he is regarded overseas as one of America’s most respected independent foreign policy, military and intelligence analysts. He was in Iran and Afghanistan during the hostage crisis in 1979-80, and has regularly returned to Southwest Asia since then. He lived in Iraq in 2003. His analysis of the terrorist threat in Iran during 1979-80, and again in Iraq in 2003, were leading-edge predictions of what Americans faced in the future. Andy first went to Asia in 1967 and has lived in or been in Israel, Jordan, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Viet-Nam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Burma, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.

ATTENTION NATIONAL AND ILLINOIS DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Obama critic Andy Martin will lead opposition to the nomination of Penny Pritzker for U. S. Secretary of Commerce



The conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse says that putting Pritzker in the cabinet is like putting a swindler near a pile of cash; Pritzker previously had a hand in “busting” a Chicago-area bank



Andy led opposition to Jay Pritzker’s efforts to gain control of the South Shoe National Bank in the 1970’s; decades later Andy helped block a bailout of the Obamacentric bank



Andy says the FBI and congress must open closed court files involving Penny’s attempted swindle of her cousin Liesel Pritzker



Andy is already on the scene in Chicago investigating Pritzker’s nomination



Is Andy pointing to Pritzker family tales of “greed and jealousy?”



(CHICAGO, IL) (March 14, 2013) Republican corruption-fighter and Conservative blogger Andy Martin will hold a Chicago, Illinois news conference today, March 14th, to announce he will lead the opposition to the nomination of Penny Pritzker as U. S. Secretary of Commerce (please see group link #1 below).



Andy has been battling the Pritzkers since the 1970’s when he opposed Jay Pritzker’s efforts to take over the South Shore National Bank. SSNB later became liked to Obama scandals.

Another Pritzker-owned bank later went bust.



Andy’s attempts to block Pritzker’s nomination will focus on Pritzker’s attempts to swindle her cousin, Liesel Pritzker. “Penny was trying to swindle her cousin out of millions,” Andy says. “Come to think of it maybe Pritzker would fit perfectly in Obama’s ‘dream team’ of phonies, swindlers and incompetents. I will ask that Congress require Pritzker to open all of the closed court files concerning Penny’s involvement in the Liesel Pritzker scam. This is not only a business and corporate scandal; Penny’s behavior is going to fill the gossip pages with stories of Pritzker family greed and jealousy.



“Penny Pritzker is up to her ears, maybe higher, in family swindles, from the Liesel Pritzker family robbery to bank swindles and trying to buy influence with Barack Obama. I will lead the opposition to this disgusting example of corruption in Barack Obama’s political ‘family.’”



Andy is already is Chicago conducting further investigation concerning Pritzker. Andy previously conducted extensive investigation in Hawai’i concerning the Obama-Pritzker linkage.
