Andy Martin demands Illinois Republican Party purge local Crime Syndicate thugs

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin says that the Illinois Republican Party is dragging its feet ridding the party of Mafia (Chicago Crime Syndicate) penetration. The IRP has a long history of being influenced by organized crime figures going back to the “West Side Block.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION CHICAGO DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Chicago news conference today, Saturday, April 30th to demand that Illinois Republican Party leaders purge the party leadership of organized crime influence and personalities

Martin says Cook County Republican Party Chairman Lee Roupas is a “front” for organized crime and a disgrace to the Greek-American community

Martin has been fighting the influence of organized crime in Illinois politics for decades, and has successfully exposed Crime Syndicate penetration of both political parties

Although Martin’s focus has shifted to the national stage he continues to monitor Mafia penetration of the Illinois Republican Party

(CHICAGO)(April 30, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Chicago news conference today, Saturday, April 30th at 1:00 P.M. to demand that the Illinois Republican Party (“IRP”) “stop playing footsie” with organized crime figures who have infiltrated the IRP.

Martin says “the Brothers Pesek” continue to exercise influence over IRP affairs at the county level. Martin also charges that Cook County Republican Chairman Lee Roupas is a “disgrace to the Greek-American community” because Roupas tolerates Mafia penetration of the Cook County party. “Why is Lee Roupas allowing ‘crime syndicate committeemen’ to remain in the Cook County party?” Martin demands. “Craig Pesek resigned from the state committee but is still serving on the Cook County committee. Why?

“The obvious conclusion: Roupas is acting in part as a ‘front’ for organized crime figures.

“State IRP Chairman Pat Brady recently said that ‘appearances matter.’ I agree. Why is Skip Saviano a state committeeman? Saviano comes out of the roots of the old ‘West Side Block’ that packed up and moved to the suburbs. Saviano may not be a Mafia member directly but he is directly linked to organized crime figures in Chicago. What an ‘appearance.’

“People reading this must wonder ‘Is Andy watching too many late night Robert De Niro movies?’ No, I’m not. (see links below) Chicago really is a ‘mob’ city. The Mafia (called ‘The Outfit’ in Illinois) is a very real and very pernicious presence in both political parties. Republicans are just as culpable as Democrats, which is why the state is controlled by a bipartisan ‘combine’ run by both parties to perpetuate corruption.

“How could Craig Pesek’s brother Jeff be ‘reelected’ this week to the presidency of a local school board? Jeff Pesek testified under immunity in an organized crime trial (link below). There is a climate of fear which extends from the historic ‘Crime Syndicate Capital’ of Cicero to other suburban communities. This is how organized crime extends its tentacles into politics and ‘honest graft’ involving public agencies.

“Lee Roupas and Pat Brady should be prosecuted as accessories to ‘Outfit’ corruption if they keep turning a blind eye to these outrages” Martin says. “I may be running for president, but I have been fighting Crime Syndicate hoodlums for decades. The ‘families’ keep breeding thugs generation-after-generation. The Pesek Brothers are a classic example.

“We have similar problems nationally. Most presidential candidates are afraid to tackle political corruption and Mafia penetration of legitimate activity. I am not.”

Dear Iowa Republican:

My campaign has already been running ads in Iowa. Saturday, tomorrow, I arrive in Des Moines to formally launch my Iowa presidential campaign. If you have not seen my Iowa ad, it can be found at www.YouTube.com/Martinin2012. We started running campaign ads in February in New Hampshire. Next month we will be creating a new set of ads for Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Because this is my first trip back to Iowa we will not have a full schedule. That means I have more time to meet and speak informally with individual Republicans.

I am a pretty unique Republican presidential candidate. I combine the attributes of a traditional Christian conservative with an extensive record of fighting political and judicial corruption. For example when Senator Barack Obama reacted to the indictment of Tony Rezko by saying “who he?” I exposed that Obama was lying. I revealed that Obama and Rezko were joined at the hip.

My book, “Obama: The Man Behind the Mask,” was a compilation of my pioneering columns exposing every aspect of Obama’s hidden past. My efforts culminated in the release of Obama’s original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate earlier this week. Republicans are of two minds on Donald Trump but I want to make it clear I thought he did a great job forcing Obama to the mat on the birth issue. With Trump’s celebrity and my credibility we took down the president of the United States and exposed how he had been hiding an archival record of the presidency. There’s more to come.

I am not flying to Iowa to sell books but if you want a signed copy of my book ($10 for remaining copies) please send us an email on Friday and they will pack a copy for you in Chicago that you can pick up in Des Moines.

My “fighting camp” will be at the Marriott Downtown Des Moines. I invite you to call in advance and stop by Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon or any time Monday. We’ll be looking for interns to join the campaign and learn the ropes. And veteran volunteers are also welcome.

Let me talk politics, briefly. First, I am not aware of anyone who identifies himself or herself as a Republican presidential candidate that would not be an improvement on Obama. An empty Oval office would be an improvement. You have the first tier of candidates, which is largely the group Fox News has been promoting. But obviously everyone on Fox News’ payroll can’t win.

As my advertising in Iowa last week confirms, I am an experienced political infighter. My name was the first one on Barack Obama’s enemies list. In fact, Obama probably only fears two candidates: Trump and me. We are both to-the-point people. Trump obviously has a massively higher profile, but it is not clear as of today whether he will run. We’ll see how his candidacy unfolds and if he ultimately announces. In the meantime, I’m in. I announced I am a candidate, not just an “explorer” trying to gauge the temperature before jumping in.

Right now I am probably heading up the top of the second division. But I am fighting to make it into the first tier. I hope you will take the time to study my qualifications.

This weekend I have time. We will be scheduling news conferences to highlight important issues. And Sunday morning is reserved for worship. But otherwise I have a lot of flexibility to meet new faces and I warmly invite you to give me a call and get together. I arrive Saturday afternoon.

Unlike the other candidates, I don’t travel with a pack of handlers, corporate jets and limousines. I answer my own phone, and I would devote time to answering the calls of ordinary citizens if I got to the Oval Office. My cell phone is (917) 664-9329. Let’s get together this weekend and start something.

Help me launch the New Ronald Reagan Revolution in Iowa. Let’s win this one for the Gipper.

With warmest best wishes,

ANDY MARTIN

Des Moines, IA 50309

via fax (515) 282-9019

Dear Matt:

I hope we will be able to have a cordial and productive relationship. I am coming to Iowa tomorrow, Saturday, to launch my Iowa campaign. Some state chairmen want to be czars. I hope you believe in an open party. Ordinary voters are very sophisticated at winnowing out candidates; they should be given that opportunity.

I combine the attributes of a traditional Christian conservative with those of a corruption fighter, so I take a tough stance on conflicts of interest, dirty dealing and self-interested policies.

I am sure there will be some issues on which we disagree. But there will be many issues on which our views coincide. I am also faxing you copies of my two latest statements.

Monday I would like to meet with you or someone at your headquarters to discuss the Lincoln Day Dinner in June as well as participation in the Straw poll later in the summer. If your schedule does not permit you to meet with me I would appreciate it if you would please designate someone to meet with me to discuss the foregoing matters.

I will be staying at the Marriott Downtown Des Moines. My cell phone is (917) 664-9329.

With best wishes,

April 29, 2011

Dear Illinoisan:

In a few hours I will by flying home to Chicago. I had originally planned for a long weekend. Instead, my campaign volunteers are sending me on to Des Moines to open the Iowa campaign over the weekend.

With the release of President Barack Obama’s original 1961 birth certificate the presidential campaign has reached a milestone.

At this time I would like to express my thanks to the People of Illinois for your past support and encouragement and share with you my vision for the “New Ronald Reagan Revolution.”

In commenting on Obama’s surrender to the “Birther” movement the Chicago Tribune referred to me on its editorial page as “Chicago’s own.” (link below) In some sense I do belong to the People of Illinois; and for that “ownership” I am profoundly grateful and humbled.

It is hard to realize I came to prominence in Chicago 43 years ago, jousting with the first Mayor Daley, when Barack Obama was 7 years old. I may have been around a long time but I am still fresh, full of energy and ready to fight for the People of America. I have decades of staying power behind me because I have always tried to do the right thing.

Some of you have followed me since my years as a student leader and law student at the University of Illinois. I wanted to play for the Fighting Illini but my coaches realized I would never be a great athlete. Instead, they said I had potential to develop into a good leader. Together with my college roommate, African-American Art McCaskill, they nurtured the leadership skills that gave me the self-confidence to confront presidents of the United States over and over again.

Forty years ago I moved to Chicago and began fighting the entrenched corruption in the courts and politics of the city. I filed the first “political” civil racketeering suits and helped pave the way for what eventually became “Operation Greylord,” resulting in the conviction of nearly a hundred judges, lawyers and court staff (www.AndyMartin.com).

When I challenged Barack Obama’s missing certificate I pointed out where the original document was secreted: right in the state archives of Hawai’i. Ultimately, with my credibility and Donald Trump’s celebrity, we forced the president to release the document. In the midst of preparations for the royal wedding the London Daily Telegraph took time to present a “timeline” showing me as the man who created the Birther movement (link below). Ironically, I was only trying to search for the truth and find the facts. I still am.

But I am much, much more than a “Birther” candidate.

Today the president of the United States must understand the workings of the world. Every day a president is called on to make life and death decisions about deploying forces, opposing enemies, aiding allies and defending the national security of our nation.

I am the only presidential candidate who has lived and studied abroad, thanks to the University of Illinois, studied languages, and been present at many of the major wars and revolutions since the 1960’s. I have the experience to exercise sound judgment. My potential opponents are all decent human beings. But they lack the depth of worldwide experience and maturity of judgment I bring to the presidential campaign.

Likewise, I was trained as an economist at the University of Illinois. I see the challenges we face; but I also see the great opportunities in front of us if only we have the guts to seize them.

Where do we go from here? Well, we go backwards in time exactly 150 years.

A hundred and fifty years ago Illinois sent a new president to Washington. Abraham Lincoln had one goal: “to save the union.” One hundred and fifty years later, I hope you will entrust me with a presidential nomination so that I can do likewise and “Save the Union.” Lincoln knew that if the union did not endure, the nation would fail.

Today we are a fighting a new civil war. We wound each other with words instead of bullets. Ordinary citizens cry out for clarity, consistency and comity between young and old, rich and poor. But the political parties and special interests fire away. Democrats accuse Republicans of being racists. Republicans accuse Democrats of being socialists. Democrats want to bankrupt the nation with big spending. Republicans refuse to adopt practical solutions to our economic problems and insist no spending is the only way to survive. Each party is confined in an ideological straitjacket of its own making.

Make no mistake I am a conservative Republican. But my goal is to save the union. My heart says we can succeed. My head tells me I have the strength and experience to lead the charge.

Four months after I announced in New Hampshire (December, 2011), I am still the only formally-announced “national” Republican candidate for president. We are running ads from Iowa to New Hampshire to South Carolina (a new batch goes into production on May 9th). Many other candidates are still just “exploring their options.”

How do we achieve my goal of “Saving the Union?” The task will take Chicago-tough leadership, Illinois-strong principles and a determined focus on national reunion and reconciliation. We can disagree with each other but we should not demonize each other. President Obama has tried to spread the lie that I am “anti-Semitic.” Nothing could be further from the truth. It is interesting, isn’t it, that at the same time Obama complains about lies being spread about him he is out spreading lies about me. The president’s behavior is disingenuous and disappointing.

After decrying “silliness” about his birth certificate he ran off to be interviewed by Oprah Winfrey. Oprah is a leader. Obama is not. He is a fundamentally decent human being who stumbled into history in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong set of beliefs and attitudes.

Can we Save the Union? It will not be an easy task. While our foreign competitors are busy building their economies, both Republicans and Democrats are locked in a struggle for political supremacy while the nation declines.

In the Republican Party we lionize President Ronald Reagan. But there is an unbridgeable gap between the Gipper and my opponents. Each one of them is a prisoner of expediency, surrenders to special interests and has never survived any stressful environment.

Lincoln and Reagan came out of the heartland, out of Illinois. And so do I. I have the heartland in my veins. Could the nation be lucky a third time? Could my candidacy be the one to Save the Union? Our fate and our future is in your hands, and in your hearts. I pray my self-confidence is not misplaced. With the deepest humility I ask for your continued support.

As I cross the Mississippi River into Iowa on Saturday I hope I will carry with me your prayers, and your hopes for a greater America. A nation of opportunity for everyone. And a nation that demands personal responsibility from everyone. A nation where we can create economic opportunity for future generations while we preserve the promises we have made to former generations.

If we have the staying power and the willpower, we can succeed. Over the past forty years I have proven I have that staying power and willpower. I may be a dark horse candidate but I alone can grasp the bright future ahead. I need is your support to achieve our goals and dreams for America; a great nation that has been so good to us and so good to the entire world. United, together we can Save the Union.

God bless you,

Andy Martin

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION NEW YORK DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will hold a New York News Conference today, Wednesday, to claim a ”triumph” as Barack Obama surrenders his original birth certificate

Andy Martin: “Obama lied to CNN, and CNN lied to its audience. Hawai’i was issuing a birth certificate on Monday, April 25th after saying they would not do it. Up to the end, Obama was deceiving the American people. What does that say about Obama as a leader?

Martin says today’s outcome could be a Trump (for president)/Martin (for vice president) national ticket for the Republicans. The two men made Obama heel on the birth certificate.

Martin says the “second prong” of birther movement (of which he is not an active part) remains open: the “Natural Born Citizen” clause of the Constitution now becomes a paramount public concern for many Americans

Martin responds to Jay Carney’s charge of “distractions” by promising new “distractions” in Martin’s White House bid

Martin expected to arrive in Des Moines, Iowa to claim “triumph” next Monday May 1st

(NEW YORK)(April 27, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a New York news conference today, Wednesday April 27nd at 2:00 P.M. to claim a “triumph” as Barack Obama surrenders his original Hawai’i birth certificate.

“What caught my eye is how Obama lied to the end,” Martin says. “Monday he was telling CNN he was not going to release the document, even as Hawai’i officials were releasing a copy. He said Hawai'i officials would not release the original, even as they were releasing it. Tuesday Obama lied to CNN again. He said the state would not issue the certificate and he would not authorize its release, when the document which he released today bears stamp of April 25th, two days ago, and had already been released!

“Truth was a casualty of Obama's cover-up. The first phase of the cover-up ended today. The battle for the truth continues.

“When I began writing critical commentary about Obama in 2004 I was alone. When I went to Hawai’i to research Obama’s heritage I was alone, and the first investigator. Obama has attacked me relentlessly. Left-wing media called me the ‘King of the Birthers’ in an obvious Jesuitical mocking.

“What was he hiding?

“Of course, neither Obama nor CNN alluded today to the second prong of ‘birther’ concerns: the ‘Natural Born Citizen’ requirement of the Constitution. I have said that I believe this language constitutionally ‘means something,’ but that as a constitutional scholar and federal litigator I did not believe a modern judge would enforce the original intent of the founders.

“I feel exuberant that we have taken the first step to unraveling the mystery of who Obama is. My national conferences kept the flame alive until a ‘Donald Trump’ could appear to focus massive attention on my research and concerns, see www.NationalConferenceonObama.blogspot.com

“We held a Washington conference on Obama’s BC earlier this month! Go to www.YouTube.com/Martinin2012 for the tapes. Indeed, it looks as though Trump was using my research, because he never produced any research of his own.

“Step One was the birth certificate. Now the ‘campaign’ will move to the release of Obama's academic records at Punahou School (h.s.), Occidental College, Columbia and Harvard Law School.

“In addition, nothing that happened today eliminates the controversy over the ‘Natural Born Citizen’ clause of the Constitution. Both CNN and Obama ignored that provision. I have not been actively involved in that topic but I will try to post commentary later this week. I am still the constitutional expert on the impact of ‘Natural Born Citizen.’ Obama operatives stole my original 2009 tapes but we have new ones.

“My prediction: the Natural Born Citizen wing of the Birther movement will now be activated and agitated and energized by today’s release.

“I am left in a state of amazement. Obama paid a horrible political price for his refusal to release this document although it will probably satisfy most people who had concerns. Why did he fight so long and so hard to avoid release? As of yet there is no answer to that question.

“No doubt Obama's inner circle ultimately agreed with me--Obama was losing the battle of public perception. Even Jay Carney said Trump/Martin were a ‘distraction.’ So what's wrong with my distracting the political opposition? I was indeed a distraction, and today he had to capitulate to Trump's and my distraction. Obama himself did not want to surrender. He is a stubborn man. He was forced to surrender by his staff.

“We will have new ‘distractions’ for Mr. Obama as my campaign for the White House continues.

“The political consequences of this victory are obvious. Donald Trump is going to run for president. I predict it today. The birther issue confirms he is a man of action. And, as the man who created the birther movement, and kept it alive through the ‘dark ages’ like a medieval monk, I could end up as his vice president. The Republican Party establishment is shown for what it is, political wusses that were afraid to confront Obama and make him say ‘uncle.’

“Today, after denying he would bend, Obama bent. He opened a can of worms. I’m going fishing.”

Martin is expected to arrive in Des Moines, Iowa May 1st to claim his “triumph” over Obama’s secrecy and prevarication. “On to Iowa,” Andy says. May first he’ll arrive in Des Moines. “Republicans have a winning team: Trump/Martin. Let’s get to work and move Obama out of the White House.” (If Trump does not announce a candidacy, Martin will seek the presidency; if Trump does decide to run, Martin may have to take the second seat.)
