<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear Donald:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were sitting a few pews apart just days ago; looking
back, it seems like a lifetime ago. Earlier this week I wrote a critical review
of your campaign. Almost on cue, you imploded. So what gives? Do you seriously
want to win the White House? Or is your campaign destined to destroy your
“brand.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make no mistake: your brand is now endangered. The ham-handed
campaign you have been running is now coming back to haunt you. No ads, no
staff, no data analytics. You have allowed time for your opposite to coalesce,
organize and try to bring you down. Right now your opponents are winning. I
predicted you would lose <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>.
My instincts were prescient. <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>
does not look good.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You might recover in <st1:state>New York</st1:state>,
maybe. But if you lose <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>
your opponents will then have a template to defeat you. You are dead meat in <st1:state>California</st1:state>.
The race in <st1:state>California</st1:state> is already
even. That means you are losing big time. Do you really want to lose to “Canada
Cruz” in <st1:state>California</st1:state>? Really? That
means in two months your campaign would be at an effective end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You claim to be someone who “hits back” or “fights back.”
How much “fighting back” have you done in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>?
Your opposition drenched the state with negative ads. How many positive ads did
you run to hit back? Very few, if any. I criticized you for poor “advance” work
by your staff; you went on the radio show of a hostile host (which is perfectly
all right as a tactic) but you had no idea he was hostile. Bad. I could go on,
but you get the picture.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I accused you of starving your campaign of cash, and now
that starvation is coming back to haunt you. The opposition is increasingly
well-organized and your campaign involves little more than flying around and
holding rallies. That’s not a serious campaign for the presidency.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of the above have to do with the “mechanics” of running
a campaign. You like to quote Ronald Regan. Reagan had enough sense to hire
experienced professionals to run a real campaign. Blabbing about “funding your
own campaign,” when in reality the funding is totally inadequate and almost
laughable, catches up with you when the opposition is serious and growing in strength.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Donald, when it comes to being a “Reagan,” right now, Donald,
you’re no Reagan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whereas some critics have speculated you might think you can
simply return to being a TV personality, in reality your brand has been
seriously damaged. So, in effect you have burned your boats. There is no going
back. Either you decide to fight and win, or your reputation will be devastated.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So how do you recover?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is an emergency management plan. You may not save <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>,
but you will save your campaign.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. I will be in <st1:state>New York</st1:state>
Friday morning. We need to sit down and put together a written plan of attack. Here
are my suggestions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Friday morning have your media buyers start calling
stations in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>. You need
to buy two hours (hours!) of TV time in Milwaukee for Monday night and anywhere
else across the state we can network in by Monday night. Get the satellite link
ready.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. You need to go on the air with a telethon and apologize
to the people of <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state> and
the American people. You may not feel apologetic, but the only way you can win
going forward is to humble yourself and apologize for your mistakes. Monday
night will be a scripted program, not your usual nonsense.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Confession is hard wired into our souls. People who
confess receive absolution. The public is forgiving. They will love a
confession-and-comeback.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. You need to hire a “boss.” No, not someone you boss. Someone
who bosses you. All of your campaign b. s. has to end. You must make no
appearances on TV without serious preparation. Your vivisection by Chris
Matthews is a classic that will live forever in TV annals. Democrats have
already created an ad out of your self-immolation on abortion. You need someone
that “runs” your campaign, and orders you around. Period. Apparently, today no
one can tell you “no.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Corey is a great guy but by his own admission he has let
“Trump be Trump.” No more “Trump being Trump.” You need to become a disciplined
presidential candidate with the gravitas to regain the confidence of the
American people. Being a jerko who never prepares and constantly creates
embarrassing situations has to end. Period. Your new guy has to order you
around, not vice versa.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. You need to stop the b. s. and either pony up real cash
or shut up and withdraw as a candidate now. Your current strategy of starving
your campaign of cash is only going to result in humiliation. I suggest $100 million
in cash on hand by mid-week. A minimum of $50 million. By the middle of next
week you need to star running a real campaign, not the Potemkin side show that
you have been conducting for several months. The sideshow approach worked as a
door opener; but the campaign has entered a new and serious phase and your
campaign and you personally have not adjusted to the change in circumstances.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may think you can bluff your way through <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>
and recover in <st1:state>New York</st1:state>. You will
not recover in <st1:state>New York</st1:state> if you
are still running the same kind of jerko campaign you are running now. And <st1:state>California</st1:state>
will be a killer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My suggestion: either make the financial commitment to
become a serious candidate, and arrange for the cash to be in the campaign
account by midweek, so you can open a major data operation, start a staffing
and office operation and begin a media barrage that will dazzle the American
people, all coming with a generous helping of apology and confession, or else
quit now. With a coherent, well-funded campaign you can recover and win.
Without real cash, you are making a fool of yourself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your current approach to the campaign is a suicide mission.
Your “brand” is being destroyed. By you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ultimately, my main concern is not you. You’re wealthy
(maybe not as wealthy as you claim but very wealthy) and will be comfortable
even if you become a historical laughingstock. But millions of Americans have
placed their hopes and their hearts in your hands. Not a majority of Americans,
but many millions. You can’t abandon them and embarrass them by crashing and
burning. You will discredit all of the causes you have championed over the past
many months. While you are obviously not a perfect messenger, you are good
enough and it would be a tragedy if you flamed out and left a collapse in your
wake. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I care about your supporters, their hopes and fears, and the
future of this great nation. I know you care too, but the time when you could
b. s. your way forward is coming to an end. I will do what I can to help, as a
former neighbor; and I ask nothing in return, only that you start running a serious
campaign and stop making a joke of yourself and the issues you have espoused.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A moment of truth has arrived. Are you man enough to man up,
or will you enter the pages of history as someone who self-destructed and left
a political mess for your supporters in your wake? The choice is up to you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

As for coffee tomorrow, Friday, morning. My office or yours?</div>

corruption fighter Andy Martin says that his hard-nosed investigation into a

protect the governor from the impact of the sexual misconduct at PEA. “Both
parties have failed,” Andy says. “Sadly, too many Republicans in the
legislature (General Court) have been willing to ‘cohabit’ with Governor Hassan
while the abuses were going on at PEA. Earlier this week at a news conference I
called the PEA situation a ‘<st1:street>Peyton Place</st1:street>’-style
scandal. Today as new perpetrators are exposed my predictions and promises to
take action are corroborated.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Monday of this week I held a news conference to promise
a vigorous <u>independent</u> investigation directed at exposing a cover-up of sexual
abuses involving Governor Maggie Hassan and her husband Tom Hassan who was the head
of <st1:place><st1:placename>Phillips</st1:placename> <st1:placename>Exeter</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place> (“PEA”). I accused PEA of a <u>continuing</u> cover-up, and invited new
victims to come forward. Forced by the prospect of my independent investigation
to start “coming clean,” PEA has now fired another sexual predator from the
faculty (please see link below). New victims are also coming forward. I renew
my invitation for you to contact my local office if you have evidence about the
scandals at PEA.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my first of what will be a continuing series
of letters updating you on the Hassan/Democratic Party scandal. As long as PEA
controlled a “monopoly” of the investigative efforts they could do what they want,
which is why they claim to have a “<u>secret</u>” law firm “investigating” the
Hassan scandal. Who ever heard of a “secret,” supposedly “outside” investigation?
Because PEA knows I am pressuring the school, the Hassans and the Democratic Party,
they know a cover-up will not succeed in the long run.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I renew my demand that the governor resign and that
she step down as a senate candidate. Her behavior and the behavior of her husband
disqualify them from ever holding a position of public trust in <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state> or elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But this scandal is not limited only to the
Democrats. During the current legislature all too many Republicans have been in
bed with Democratic leaders and the Governor herself. The healthy adversariness
that makes democracy function properly has been replaced by a one-party state
government which is effectively under the control of Governor Hassan and Ray
Buckley. The will of a majority of Granite Staters that voted in 2014 for an
independent Republican legislature has been nullified.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being a corruption fighter is not an easy task. I
have been at it all of my life. Amazingly I have been involved with
investigating governmental sex scandals and potential sex scandals for over
fifty years. I have the experience and inner strength to persevere. And I am
scrupulously nonpartisan and independent when it comes to public integrity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may be aware that the former Republican speaker
of the U. S. House was exposed as a Hassan-style sexual predator. I have led
the fight in federal court in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city> to expose Speaker Dennis
Hastert and I expect to be in court when he is sentenced later this month. But,
I exposed Hastert’s sexual abuses <u>six years ago</u>, long before federal officials
focused on him because of financial crimes last year. In other words, I was
five years ahead of federal prosecutors in exposing Hastert’s unsavory
practices.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you fight corruption, however, you often don’t
make friends. You usually make enemies. The “high and mighty” in our society do
not like to be held to account, and they retaliate. I have been the victim of
retaliation and harassment from my own New Hampshire GOP. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I need you to be my friend, and to help and
encourage me in fighting for our state and our children and our reputation. <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state> is an honorable place and
we do not deserve the kind of abuses reflected in Governor Hassan’s conduct.
She and her husband have dishonored us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most basic duty of any civilized society is to
protect children. Governor Hassan failed in that task, which is why I have
taken the extraordinary step of asking for her resignation and withdrawal as a
candidate. I promise you that I will work to defeat every Democrat and every
Republican that has remained silent while these abuses were continuing over the
years.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I announced and filed as a presidential
candidate it was not because I expected to be nominated for president. I wanted
to become part of the process to help vet other candidates and to expose
candidates who were unfit or questionable and who would be parading into <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state> with false promises or a
phony resume. That task is almost over and consequently my national campaign is
in the process of winding down. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My regular readers know that I have exposed
candidates and analyzed campaigns in an honest and impartial manner and
continue to do so. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am now going to concentrate and redirect my
efforts at making sure we in <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state> have the best government
possible and the best public officials to act as our public servants at the
federal and state level. I hope I can count on you help and support in doing
so.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is much work for us to do to realize the full
potential and future of our great state. Please join me in seeking to restore
the honor and dignity of <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>. No one is perfect; I am not perfect. But no adult should ever tolerate
abuse of children. That is a step too far in any civilized society. Tolerating
the abuses which the Hassans did was not a “mistake” or a simple error in
judgment; we are all capable of those. What the Hassans did exposed their
fundamental character flaws. I hope you agree.<o:p></o:p></div>

GOP presidential candidate and corruption fighter Andy
Martin says that New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan and her husband Tom
Hassan are guilty of criminal violations of <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
child abuse statutes even if they escape prosecution due to a statute of
limitations defense. “The Hassans covered up sexual abuse of students at the <st1:place><st1:placename>Phillips</st1:placename>
<st1:placename>Exeter</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>
by a staff member, Rick Schubart. We can’t jail a teenager for sexual abuses
(Owen Labrie) and then let adults escape responsibility for the same behavior.
The Hassans have breached the public trust and should be barred from ever again
holding a public office in <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>”
Andy says. “I am reviewing both my political options and my legal options to
see that justice is done to the victims of abuse at <st1:place><st1:placename>Phillips</st1:placename>
<st1:placename>Exeter</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>

GOP presidential candidate and <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
corruption fighter Andy Martin will hold a telephone news conference today,
Monday, April 11 to demand that New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan step down
as governor and withdraw as a U. S. Senate candidate, and that the <st1:place><st1:placename>organization</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype>School</st1:placetype></st1:place> Year Abroad terminate the upcoming
employment of her husband Thomas Hassan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Both Governor Hassan and her husband are guilty of covering
up felony child abuse,” Andy says. “They may never be prosecuted due to legal
technicalities but they are guilty nonetheless. Because they schemed to cover
up child abuse they are morally just as culpable as the perpetrator. The fact
that you escape prosecution does not make you innocent. The Hassans are guilty
because they covered up the crimes committed by Phillips Exeter Academy (PEA)
staff member Rick Schubart. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“While the Hassans’ complicity may never be subject to
prosecution, they can never again be allowed to hold a position of public trust
in the State of <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>, and
certainly not be promoted to the office of <st1:country-region>U. S.</st1:country-region>
Senator. The Hassans may have escaped the prosecutors, but they will not escape
the wrath and scorn of every Granite Stater. (Please see link [1] below for a
history of the scandal.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Owen Labrie was convicted and is currently jailed for
teenage sex, because his behavior violated the law. The criminality of Maggie
and Thomas Hassan is much, much more serious. They were/are sophisticated
adults who schemed to cover up abuse in order to protect their political and
educational careers. Their behavior is sickening. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do we in <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
jail young people on the one hand, and on the other hand protect politicians
and their families for covering up the same behavior? The Hassan case is a
stain on the good name of the State of <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hassan wants a promotion to the U. S. Senate despite her
involvement in the child molestation cover-up scheme. On the contrary, today I
call on Hassan to step down both as governor and as a senate candidate. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“As usual, Republican Party leaders are muted and timid in
their criticism. But can you imagine what Ray Buckley and the Democrats would
say if a Republican governor and his or her spouse had conspired to cover up knowledge
of child molestation?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hassan, moreover, was not some unsophisticated homebody. She
was an experienced legislator at the time of the cover-up and familiar with
child abuse reporting requirements. Under <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
law both Maggie and Thomas Hassan were ‘mandatory reporters,’ people mandated
under state law to report information concerning child abuse. See RSA § 169-C:29. <st1:state>New
Hampshire</st1:state> law provides that ‘Any …school official…or
any other person having reason to believe…shall report the same in accordance
with this chapter.’ Instead, the Hassans covered up child abuse to protect her
political career and his career as a school official. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“They are just as guilty as the Republican pervert Dennis
Hastert in <st1:state>Illinois</st1:state>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“My efforts to seek justice on behalf of the PEA victims and
on behalf of the People of New Hampshire are just beginning. In short order I
will be petitioning the Superior Court to supersede the Attorney General’s
office and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the PEA scandal. The
fact that the school has now hired an ‘outside law firm’ to ‘investigate’ is circumstantial
evidence that there is more muck in the PEA stables and the school is trying to
conceal that muck with an ‘investigation.’ School officials have kept the name
of the law firm secret; PEA’s secrecy and cover-up are still continuing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“As <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>’s
leading public corruption fighter I am appalled at the silence coming from the
legal and political establishment in this state. We are conveniently prepared
to see a teenager such as Labrie jailed for exercising abysmal judgment, but
when a prominent politician and her husband conceal child abuse from law
enforcement authorities and allow the predator criminal to escape justice,
suddenly the establishment is silent. I will not be silent,” Andy says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I will also be taking action to see that Tom Hassan never
again works in any organization that has anything remotely to do with children.
I call on the School Year Abroad (please see link [2] below) entity to
terminate Tom Hassan’s contract. If they fail to do so, legal action will be
forthcoming against School Year Abroad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I invite every victim of child abuse at <st1:place><st1:placename>Phillips</st1:placename>
<st1:placename>Exeter</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>
to contact my office. We will do what we can to seek justice on behalf of every
victim even if the formal statute of limitations has expired.”</div>

GOP presidential candidate and “Contrarian Commentary”
columnist Andy Martin says that the criminal accusations against Donald Trump
campaign manager Corey Lewandowski are a joke. In reality, the Democratic Party
establishment is trying to “feminize” the presidential election process to
benefit Hillary Clinton. Andy’s explosive allegations follow below.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear American:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my nineteenth letter to the American people from the
2016 campaign trail (# 14 is still in progress, coming in hours; promises,
promises). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Due to a fluke in scheduling I will not be returning to <st1:state>New
Hampshire</st1:state> for several days. So I have had a front row
seat observing the flapdoodle between former journalist Michelle Fields and
Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me start with a few disclaimers. No one has asked me to
write this letter. I do not know Corey Lewandowski or anyone in the Trump
campaign. Corey and I are both Granite Staters, so you might perceive a little
parochial bias in my coming to the defense of a fellow New Hampshireite. I am
neither supporting nor opposing Trump; in fact, I wrote a rather critical
letter yesterday about Trump’s campaign. So I am not in anyone’s back pocket.
Ask anyone in <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state> who knows
me. I am a straight-arrow, stand-up conservative. What you see is what you get.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I saw the original stories yesterday about the charge
against Lewandowski I wasn’t planning to write anything. Then I saw the
front-page story in the New York Times today (March 30). Few of you read the
Times. I know. But the newspaper is highly influential in setting the national
media agenda. And that is where I come on stage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are three reasons why the absurd criminal accusation
against Lewandowski and the brouhaha surrounding the “crime” are critical for
Republicans. First, while the Trump campaign has been mesmerized by the
supposed $2 billion of “free media” he has received, in recent months that
“free” coverage has turned totally toxic against Trump. I’m not sure whether
Trump realizes this. His campaign staff is largely inexperienced in media
matters. Sometimes in the day-to-day rush the larger picture gets lost.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second, the Lewandowski “crime” is part of a larger plan by
the <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city> campaign and liberal
media to “feminize” the presidential election and campaign politics. Finally,
the criminal charge is profoundly sexist and is anti-woman, not pro-female.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s start by looking at the Times’ characterization and
reporting on the alleged “crime.” (Please see link below for the Times story.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Times says that “for much of the past year” Trump has
lied. What does that have to do with a 4-second incident? The Times suggests
Trump and Lewandowski initially lied. It is far more likely that the 4-second
incident passed so quickly that neither Trump nor Lewandowski paid any
attention to the matter. The “victim” first reported the crime three days
later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This “crime” is somewhat unique in that Donald Trump himself
provided an exculpatory videotape of the incident and thus we can all sit as
jurors in the case of “Media vs. Corey Lewandowski.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Times report claims Trump is “menacing,” a profoundly
sexist adjective. Menacing to whom? People who intentionally seek to disrupt his
lawful rallies and deprive him of his constitutional right to speak? A
left-wing wacko, Nita Chaudhary, is quoted as accusing Trump of “perpetuating
violence against women.” The Times said the victim’s accusations were a
“self-inflicted wound” against Trump. Huh?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, oleaginous former Canadian citizen Raphael “Ted”
Cruz managed to be heard outside the Times article with his trademark
negativity. Cruz said he would fire his own campaign manager for similar
behavior. Cruz’ spokesperson accused Trump of condoning “physical attacks.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the crowning indignity of illogic and immaturity, Hillary
Clinton, herself a victim of terrible spousal abuse, accused Trump of “inciting
violent behavior” and claimed the alleged victim had been “physically
manhandled” by Lewandowski.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How’s all of that for impartial reporting on a 4-second
shuffle?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now to a discussion of the reality of what the biased Times
reporting reflects.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, the Times is an elitist institution. They care not
one whit for the “masses” that are supporting Trump because Americans have been
victimized by the New York-Washington establishment. Initially Trump was viewed
as summer entertainment whose role would fade after Labor Day. The coverage was
hostile at times, but largely neutral. Megyn Kelly tried to slime Trump with a series
of grossly biased questions in an August debate but Trump brushed back her lack
of professionalism. Kelly fancies herself a “journalist” but she is really just
a very highly paid entertainer (nothing wrong with that, but be honest). Kelly’s
ego is just as inflated as Trump’s.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since actual voting began in February, however, and actual
voters have started actually voting for Trump, the tone of the national media coverage
has turned completely negative against Trump. No more summer soufflé. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, Trump has been unwilling to spend the
mega-cash necessary to counteract the biased reporting with positive
advertising. But make no mistake: the real target of the Times and other
elitist, globalist institutions is not Trump; it is his supporters, the angry
and aroused American people. The Times wants to stamp out opposition to trade
deals, and protect the enrichment of the political class which has taken place
at the expense of impoverishing ordinary Americans.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second, Hillary Clinton, the Times and the increasingly
feminized national media are trying to “feminize” American politics. Ironically,
the best example of this feminization agenda is not Lewandowski but Bernie
Sanders. <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city> is now saying she
will not debate Sanders because he is too “negative.” Negative? Sanders is the
biggest powder puff candidate in American history. He refuses to attack <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
on her lifetime of lies, on her use of a secret email server to violate the
federal Freedom of Information Act and many other <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
abuses. But as fey as Sanders has been, he is being attacked as too aggressive,
too negative. Too “male.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wonder what kind of a campaign Clinton and her liberal
media claque have in stock if she runs against Trump. Lewandowski’s “crime” is
the overture.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both politics and media have always been somewhat
rough-and-tumble. Compared to what it was in the 1950’s and 1960’s, politics
today is pretty staid. But feminists seek a sexual edge in election campaigns
by seeking to demonize “men” as “men,” because of the statistic that more women
vote today than men. (How about it boys? Time to get off your asses, stop
watching sports on TV and get out and vote.) Occasionally a boorish man does
cross the line but in reality the “battle of the sexes” in politics today is
pretty tame. So <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city> is trying
to agitate her perceived female “base” (most of which is migrating to Sanders)
by seeking to stoke sexual confrontations such as the Lewandowski/Fields
manufactured “crime.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, why is the Lewandowski/Fields situation profoundly
anti-woman instead of being uber-feminist? Because the liberal media seek to
use Fields, in all of her naiveté, to portray women as weak, vulnerable and
sensitive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is only one word for what Trump and Lewandowski did:
brusque. They had finished a long news conference and they were quickly walking
out of the room. Ms. Fields was not willing to accept “no,” and was badgering
Trump. Indeed, the videotape shows that Fields herself may have committed a
“battery” against Trump, since her touching of him was clearly unwanted.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I grew up in a household headed by a woman. I know all about
discrimination against women in the workplace. If every time a woman appears at
your side you are at risk of being accused of a crime, men will keep women at a
distance, deny interview opportunities and marginalize them. Who wants to talk
with a reporter that may then claim to be a potential criminal “victim?” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a long history of reporters and candidates/officials
jostling each other for after-the-fact questioning and for positioning in the
“gaggle.” <st1:state>Florida</st1:state> has now tried
to criminalize a media gaggle, and sought to portray brusqueness as
criminality. Does that “criminalization” of brushing-by-a-woman really benefit
female reporters? I don’t think so.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The essential element in any criminal accusation is the “<i>mens rea</i>,” or intent to commit a crime.
Can any sane person, any reasonable adult fairly claim that Lewandowski had a
criminal intent in brushing by Michelle Fields? I don’t think so. Fields is being
used by the liberal national media and she is destroying her own career in the process.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Would any similarly situated man complain he was the victim
of a crime for what is shown on the videotape? Not on your life. A man would be
ashamed and humiliated to inflate what happened to Ms. Fields into a crime.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To add yet another layer of Palm Beach/Florida entertainment
and frivolity to the crime, the local State’s Attorney is a politically
ambitious, closeted gay male who recently engaged in a sham “marriage” to
enhance his career aspirations. While I am a strong supporter of LGBT aspirations,
I am still suspicious of closeted officials since they are subject to
surreptitious blackmail and pressure. State’s Attorney David Aronberg can put
an end to this travesty of justice by immediately dismissing the bogus charges,
and not waiting until a scheduled May court appearance for Mr. Lewandowski to
do so. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t know how this “crime” is going to end for
Lewandowski, but the bogus “crime” is going to hurt Fields’ job prospects and
it may focus unwanted attention on the gay man that has to make the ultimate
prosecutorial decision.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The real criminals in this 2016 election are the liberal
media and greedy politicians that have looted this nation and undermined our
national security. Ordinary people are still suffering, as the rich get richer and
richer. The media aim to undermine Trump to destroy the potential power of his
supporters. Lewandowski’s “crime” is nothing more than abuse of the judicial
process by the liberal elites of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Do the right <st1:place><st1:placename>thing</st1:placename>

GOP presidential candidate and “Contrarian Commentary”
columnist Andy Martin analyzes Donald Trump’s campaign spending and says it is
an embarrassment. Trump brags about <b>not</b>
spending money, while Ted Cruz is devoting resources to building a first class
campaign operation. In reality, Trump is starving his campaign of the resources
necessary to fight a winning effort. Trump has managed to stumble by with his
personal appearances, but his lead is shrinking and the days when Trump’s
personal approach could substitute for a real campaign may be ending.</div>

Dear American:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my eighteenth letter to the American people from the
2016 campaign trail (# 14 is still in progress, coming in hours; promises,
promises). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both as a candidate and writer I am in somewhat of a unique
position. I first met Donald Trump in 1979, some thirty-seven years ago. We
were neighbors then; I approved his lease to move into my condominium building
(I served on the board of the condo). And so I have known him longer than
almost anyone in the media or politics. I am not supporting or opposing his
current campaign. He is the leader of the pack and I am bringing up the rear as
a Republican candidate. But knowing about someone for decades gives you a
special insight into their character, behavior and approach to life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started writing this analysis several days ago. The topic
is a moving target. Just as I was doing some final editing, another story on
Trump’s “nickel and diming” campaign strategy popped up in the Wall Street
Journal (please see link #1 below).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me start with a conversation that Donald Trump and I had
somewhere around 36 years ago, the significance of which will soon be apparent.
I was serving on the board of Olympic Tower Condominium, the most avant garde
building in <st1:state>New York</st1:state> because it
was the first to combine luxury retail, office and residential space in one
structure. Trump was a rental tenant at Olympic Tower with his new wife Ivana. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t remember exactly how, but because of my experience
at Olympic Tower I ended up being an informal adviser to the architects
designing the new <st1:place><st1:placename>Trump</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Tower</st1:placetype></st1:place>.
<st1:place><st1:placename>Trump</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Tower</st1:placetype></st1:place>
was intended to be a replica of Olympic Tower, once again combining super-luxury
retail, office and residential space in one structure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Donald and I discussed the cheap fixtures he was planning to
install in <st1:place><st1:placename>Trump</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Tower</st1:placetype></st1:place>,
barely acceptable cabinets, fittings and finishings. Donald’s answer to me was
his belief that wealthy people always redesigned their spaces, so they would in
any event be ripping out and replacing his “builder” fixtures. His view: why
then put in quality materials to begin with? In other words, his approach was
to put in the cheapest materials he could get away with, because someone else would
soon be remodeling and paying the real cost of building out a first class
living space. It was a classic “outer borough” mentality approach.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump is apparently no longer designing and building luxury
buildings in <st1:city>New York City</st1:city>. His
cheap-is-all-right approach has been superseded by his competitors’
first-class-up-front approach to construction and interior finishings. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, Trump’s “cheap is acceptable” mentality
appears to be undermining, and ultimately destroying, his presidential
campaign. Trump may lose the GOP nomination, or the November election, because
he has fooled himself into believing he can campaign on the cheap and that he
can pretend to be running a real campaign when all he is doing in reality is
conducting a hollowed out (dare I say?) “Potemkin” campaign.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump has always been something of a con man and carnival
barker, with grossly inflated, almost flatulent, marketing promises. And
unfortunately for him, his failed ventures (<st1:place><st1:placename>Trump</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype>University</st1:placetype></st1:place>, etc.) have come to
overshadow his very legitimate monetary successes. Trump, for example, claimed
to have sent “investigators” to <st1:state>Hawai’i</st1:state>
to check on Obama’s origins, but no evidence of any such mission ever surfaced.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But today Trump may be in the process of conning himself
into his biggest fiasco ever: nickel-and-diming himself out of the White House.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump likes to brag that he is “funding his own campaign.”
But the reality is that he is not “funding his own campaign.” Rather, by
refusing to invest a sufficient amount of money to run a substantial effort,
Trump is almost certainly ensuring his ultimate defeat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Presidential campaigns are expensive propositions, and have become
incredibly more so as a result of efforts successfully pioneered by Barack
Obama eight and four years ago to create massive, ongoing campaign structures. Instead
of building a state-of-the-art, first class campaign apparatus, Trump is
campaigning with the functional equivalent of his own cheap-is-acceptable
construction approach.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I started writing this story several days ago, Trump’s
opponents were advertising in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>.
He was not (please see link #2 below). Trump had two weeks to “move” into <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>,
plant his flag and develop a campaign that could finish off Ted Cruz. Right
now, if I were betting, my money would be on Cruz to win <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>.
In any event the vote will be much closer than it should have been. Trump’s
various opponents have been relentlessly attacking him in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>.
Trump is making a half-hearted effort to defend himself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Perhaps because he survived a similar onslaught of negative
ads in <st1:state>Florida</st1:state> he feels he can always
ignore opposition advertising. I don’t think so. (I will write more about <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>
later this week.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump has constantly bragged about how little he has spent on
his campaign. But the reality is that other than his personal appearances he
has not built much of a campaign structure at all (see link #1 again). He
claimed after <st1:state>Iowa</st1:state> that he didn’t
know what “ground game” meant. How about his people? Didn’t they know what
“ground game” meant. Were they blind to the campaign Ted Cruz was building?
(please see group link #3 below) If Trump had made a serious investment in <st1:state>Iowa</st1:state>,
today he would already be the nominee. Instead, by scrimping on his spending,
he has allowed his opposition to grow into a formidable force that could defeat
him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In reality, Trump has failed his first test as a
commander-in-chief. Any commander knows that you throw overwhelming resources
into a battle to win, not lollygag around and allow your enemies to gain
strength. If Trump had been president on D-Day in 1944, we might still be
fighting World War II (or, even more ominously, Hitler’s new weapons would have
finished off the <st1:country-region>U. S.</st1:country-region>
effort and we would have had to accept a bad peace). How can he brag about how
much money he has, and then starve his campaign “soldiers” of the resources
they need to win? It is an irrational approach.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ted Cruz, on the other hand, invested in a major data-based
campaign (please see group link #3). Trump would have won <st1:state>Iowa</st1:state>
if he had made a serious effort to win. Instead, he snatched defeat from the
jaws of victory and allowed Cruz’ data-driven campaign to eke out a victory. Cruz
has continued to build his campaign apparatus. Cruz could very well overwhelm
Trump in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state> or a later
primary. When we look back on 2016, Trump’s failure to spend money in 2015,
while constantly bragging about how little he was spending, may have been his
fatal campaign error. But even if he wins the nomination, he will be up against
a much better organized campaign (link #1 again) for November. Right now Trump
is dismantling his campaign, not building a general election team (link #1).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
March 28th Trump said he would be filing a lawsuit because
“he wuz robbed” in <st1:state>Louisiana</st1:state>
(please see group link #4). While Trump is finally building a pre-convention
delegate operation, it almost certainly is being starved for resources. If
Trump had kept his campaign offices open and fully staffed with local people,
he would not have been ambushed in <st1:state>Louisiana</st1:state>.
March 28th Trump went on a radio show (please see link #6) and later admitted
he wasn’t warned in advance the host was hostile. Does Trump even have advance
people in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To rescue his convention delegate operation he hired someone
whose most notable recent job was shilling for a Ukrainian dictator and pal of
Vladimir Putin (please see link #7). Is this the best operation Trump can put
together with his claimed billions of dollars? As I said, he has failed his
first test as a commander in chief. Barack Obama may be a jerk, but he knew how
to hire brilliant people. Trump?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How would a real “businessman” have built a “real”
presidential campaign? He/she would have gone for the best data, the best ads, and
provided his staff overwhelming resources to knock out the competition at the
starting gate instead of allowing opponents to gain in strength and threaten
his campaign later in the process. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What I am writing about is not rocket science. Barack
Obama’s campaign team redefined the art of national campaigning in 2008 and
again in 2012. They humiliated a supposed “number cruncher,” Mitt Romney, by
whipping Romney with better numbers, better data and better organization. Cruz
is following in Obama’s footsteps, building a 21st century campaign operation
based on data analytics and operations, and not following a Trump-style horse-and-buggy
era approach to campaigning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was in church with Trump on Easter Sunday (just a
coincidence). But why? Why wasn’t he in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>?
He had two weeks to win <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>,
to flood the zone with positive advertising, to cover the state with campaign
offices and local staff. He should have set up a command center in <st1:city>Milwaukee</st1:city>
and campaigned relentlessly (that, incidentally, was the Kennedy family style).
Trump has apparently done little, or very little, in <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>.
He apparently still doesn’t know what a “ground game” looks like and is still
relying on free media coverage (most of it increasingly hostile) to conduct his
campaign. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If we were grading Trump’s campaign at the <st1:place><st1:placename>Wharton</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype>School</st1:placetype></st1:place> (of Business) where he
graduated, he would get a “D” or maybe even an “F” for the manner in which he
is conducting his campaign. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump has proven himself to be a brilliant tactician, with
an amazing sense of the battlefield (please see link #5). He is something akin
to General George Patton. But Patton could not/did not win World War II.
Eisenhower won the war, and went on to become president. Trump/Patton is/was a
brilliant attacker but a limited one. It was General George Marshall and
Eisenhower who assembled the overwhelming resources necessary to defeat the
Third Reich. Trump can’t even assemble a substantial presidential campaign.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump’s campaign folly may ultimately be exposed in the
words of his hero Abe Lincoln: “you can fool some of the people all the time,
and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people
all of the time.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not sure Trump was right 36 years ago when he said he
could get away with putting cheap fixtures in his new luxury building; but I am
absolutely sure he is wrong 36 years later. If he keeps campaigning on the cheap,
he will certainly defeat himself. It may be too late to save <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>.
I don’t know if it is too late to save the rest of his campaign. Time will
tell. Or Ted Cruz.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If Trump’s campaign eventually implodes and demolishes the
hopes of his supporters I don’t want to be around to pick up the pieces.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin has sent the leading GOP presidential candidates
a letter offering to convene a candidates-only summit at which they can discuss
resolving their differences so as to enable a “fresh start” that will allow them
to proceed without any rancor. Andy mailed the letters and they should start
being delivered in four or five days. </div>

In a coincidence, both Andy and Donald Trump attended the

<b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Dear Candidate:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">We are all aware of the unusual rancor that has
erupted over the past few days. I would like to invite you to an informal
meeting of candidates so that we can sit down casually and see if we can agree
to work together for the ultimate good of the American people and Republican
Party.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">In announcing my candidacy I agreed to support the
nominee of the convention, and I have not deviated from that view. Perhaps if
one of you wanted to convene an informal “coffee klatch” for-candidates-only,
there would be resistance. But I am obviously the least among you, and so I can
extend the welcome so that no one feels compelled to decline. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">I have been or will be critical of all of you; no
surprise there. But I am impartial in my criticism, and unwavering in my
commitment to support the winner/nominee.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">The current controversy and finger pointing is not
helping either the party or any of you. It is a negative sum game. While I was
sitting in church with Donald Trump on Easter Sunday (he was three pews behind
me) and listening to the liturgy I thought to myself, “why not invite everyone
to start anew during the season of Eastertide? Easter is a time for new
beginnings and fresh approaches to life. We have a point of departure where we
can come together and unify. Let’s put the past behind us and agree to fresh
approach going forward. We can do as little or as much as all of us can agree
on at our meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

“In one of my many (and profitable) lives I have been a negotiator and
mediator,” Andy says. “Ironically, listening to the Easter liturgy I was moved
to consider whether the good will and spiritual renewal of Easter could be
applied to heal the bitterness of the GOP presidential campaign. Because I am
the ‘least’ of the candidates, no one has to fear an invitation from me. As an
experienced mediator I would work to make everyone feel comfortable and try to
arrive at a positive resolution. That is if my opponents want to accept my
invitation. That’s up to them. I have extended an open hand.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“In <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>,
we know each other. While the state is no stranger to bare-knuckled campaigning,
the types of ‘sex stories’ that are appearing in the national press would not
be accepted by <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
voters. I pray that the coarseness that has infiltrated national campaigning
does not seep down to the <st1:place><st1:placename>Granite</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>State</st1:placetype></st1:place>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“I was scheduled to be in <st1:state>New York</st1:state>
on Easter Sunday, but due to a scheduling error on my part I unexpectedly had
to return to <st1:state>Florida</st1:state>. I have been
an active member of the <st1:city>Palm Beach</st1:city>
parish for over 25 years and years ago also served as an usher. Now that my home
is in <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state> I am mostly a
winter ‘snow bird.’ When I went to take a seat in the front row Sunday, I was
surprised to see Donald Trump sitting three rows behind me. I knew he was
somewhere in the church, because the Secret Service had run us through security
procedures. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I hadn’t seen Donald ‘up close’ for about a year. He was
there Sunday with Melania and Barron. I noticed a tender moment when ‘dad’ was
helping his son decipher a church program (memo to file: lets get Barron
enrolled in Sunday school). When they approached for communion, Melania and Barron
took the wafer but neither took the wine. Donald seemed to enjoy the service.
He was married at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, and attends occasionally. Of course, in
common with every Christian church we have many hundreds (thousands?) of
Christmas/Easter parishioners and they are always welcomed. I think Trump is
sending the right message; he is comfortable in church and his promises to
protect religion are sincere ones. That may explain his surprise appeal to some
evangelical voters.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Dear American:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my seventeenth letter to the American people from
the 2016 campaign trail (# 14 is still in progress, coming in hours). Due to a
fluke, my return was delayed so I am still in <st1:state>Florida</st1:state>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The world shudders at the latest terrorist attack in <st1:city>Brussels</st1:city>
earlier today. Civilians killed, lives disrupted, a society on the verge of
dismemberment. And yet, our political leaders know precious little about “<st1:place>Europe</st1:place>,”
or how the European Union came into being, or what the future looks like if the
EU fails to adjust and adapt.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While I am going to gleefully support the Republican
nominee, I still keep my finger in the presidential pie until there is one, and
for a special reason. I am the only Republican presidential candidate with real
foreign policy experience. I first went to <st1:city>Brussels</st1:city>
over 50 years ago; I have edited several books on “<st1:place>Europe</st1:place>”
and the European Union (“EU”); I speak French, and have also studied German,
Spanish and Greek. So I am conversant with European culture and politics. No other candidate has that background and
experience as a resource to draw on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In today’s letter, Part One, I will explain how Donald Trump
and his views are going to affect the future of “<st1:place>Europe</st1:place>.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why the quotation marks around “<st1:place>Europe</st1:place>?”
Because Americans usually think about going to <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> as
a trip or junior year of college abroad. We know little of the EU and its origins
or workings, little of what President Barack Obama has done to reverse seventy
years of post-World War II political stability. <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>
will always be a delightful place to visit; the political future of the
continent is less positive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two weeks ago a group of conservative foreign policy “experts”
attacked Donald Trump and said he was unqualified to be president (please see
link #1 below). Yesterday Trump questioned the value of NATO (North Atlantic
Treaty Organization) and our involvement in <st1:place>Asia</st1:place> (please
see link #2). Today <st1:place>ISIS</st1:place> struck again, in <st1:city>Brussels</st1:city>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump’s frustrations are not new. For decades military
leaders have fretted about the imbalance in financial commitments to national
defense by the <st1:country-region>United States</st1:country-region>
as compared with <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> or <st1:place>Asia</st1:place>. As
Trump correctly claims, we spend to defend foreign nations. And we don’t always
receive a “thank you.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Where is NATO headquartered? <st1:city>Brussels</st1:city>.
Where is the EU headquartered? <st1:city>Brussels</st1:city>.
In a city and nation that is unable to defend itself, and unwilling to make the
commitment to defend itself, serious questions are raised. The EU, moreover, is
constantly at war with <st1:country-region>U. S.</st1:country-region>
tech giants for violating EU “security” protocols. Unwittingly, the EU has
created an environment that is favorable to terrorist organizations and
operations. The attacks in <st1:city>Paris</st1:city>
and <st1:city>Brussels</st1:city> prove my point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump seems to embody the aphorism “it’s better to be lucky
than be smart.” Every time he makes what appears to be an outrageous foreign
policy claim, within days his unorthodox view is vindicated by events. He
questioned NATO yesterday: today a terrorist attack on the doorstep of NATO.
Timing is everything.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So does <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> have a future? Not in
its current form. Today I discuss what Obama has done to weaken “Europe” (Obama
actually favors the concept of “Europe,” as an excuse for American abdication);
next, I will explain Trump’s impact on “Brexit,” the United Kingdom vote in
June on whether to leave the EU. Finally I will offer my own unorthodox (“contrarian”)
views on how the EU should deal with the nation of <st1:country-region>Turkey</st1:country-region>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After <st1:country-region>America</st1:country-region>
bailed out <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> and won the war against Nazi Germany
in 1945, leaders were concerned that the <st1:country-region>United
States</st1:country-region> would recede from a leadership role
as it had previously done in 1918. In the words on one British diplomat, NATO
was created to “keep the Americans in (<st1:place>Europe</st1:place>); to keep
the Russians out (of <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>); and to keep the Germans
down, so that <st1:country-region>Germany</st1:country-region>
would never be able to launch a new continental war (please see link #3 below).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the collapse of the <st1:place>Soviet Union</st1:place>
in 1989, no one believed a new Russian dictator such as Vladimir Putin could
arise. No one believed that <st1:country-region>Russia</st1:country-region>
would attack peaceful nations and attempt to redraw borders by force. And so
Americans elected the African-American flower child, Barack Obama, to dismantle
our commitment to <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>. Joseph Stalin is said to have
contemptuously asked, “How many divisions does the pope have?” Well, today, we
can ask, “How many divisions does NATO have?” The reality: close to none. NATO
is a paper tiger and Putin is aware of that fact. Europeans have lost the will
to defend themselves and Donald Trump questions whether we should shed American
blood in place of a local commitment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obama has withdrawn armored divisions from <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>,
closed facilities and pursued a foreign policy that is, ironically, almost a
carbon copy of Trump’s (without any of the protests from the foreign policy
“establishment” that criticize Trump). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The result: chaos. Russian continues to be a military
threat. Radical Islam is attacking. And the EU is paralyzed. NATO? Don’t ask.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So is Trump right? Or wrong? Or, as I believe, right and wrong?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, <st1:country-region>United States</st1:country-region>
taxpayers are not going to continue to defend <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>
while Europeans refuse to defend themselves. Trump is right. Solution: NATO
must amend the Charter to mandate a common level of defense expenditures by all
signatories. We should not promise to defend nations under Article 5 of the
NATO (Washington) Treaty that will not spend equally on their own defense. We
need to develop a financial formula that minimizes our financial outgo for
European defense while still retaining a robust presence there (<st1:country-region>Poland</st1:country-region>
is asking for <b>more </b>American forces).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second, I do not believe a <st1:country-region>US</st1:country-region>
withdrawal from <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> is in our national interest. Since
our own troops are likely to fight overseas, and not at home in <st1:state>Ohio</st1:state>,
positioning military resources overseas makes excellent sense and strategy. Trump
is therefore wrong that withdrawing troops improves our own national security. Almost
seventy years of safety and stability before Obama arrived on the scene
contradict Trump. And Obama’s (i.e. Trump’s) policy of withdrawal has failed to
meet our own national security needs. Obama is now forced to reinforce our
garrisons in <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>, the same ones he emptied out years
ago.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Third, <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> is going to have to
take terrorism and collective national security much more seriously. Trump is
right. Nations that refuse to defend themselves, and allow hostile Muslim
populations to fester in their midst, are doomed. The solutions will not be
easy, pleasant or cheap.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, just as this is being written, Trump has created a
new kerfuffle today over the identities of his “foreign policy” advisors.
Surprise. Realistically, the media establishment and the foreign policy
establishment are going to make every effort to create “issues” with anything
and everything Trump says. Ironically, as an “outsider,” Trump’s “fresh start”
and “clean sheet of paper” approach to national security and international
security is essential and valuable. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While I generally support the seventy years of stability
that my family shed blood to defend, we must always be open to new ideas, new
approaches and new solutions. Trump is an unabashed nationalist. But, what have
the “internationalists” given us, other than the messed up world created by Bill
Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<st1:place>Europe</st1:place> cannot continue in its current
form. Whether consciously or unconsciously, Trump has identified a problem that
needs fresh thinking in <st1:state>Washington</st1:state>.
Ironically, despite the relentless criticism directed at DT, he is the only one
open to considering new approaches. Trump may not always be right, but he is
equally not always wrong.</div>

Dear Attorney Stewart and</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
General Lynch:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am writing you to respectfully request that you impanel a
grand jury to seek the indictment of so-called <st1:place><st1:city>Vandalia</st1:city>,
<st1:state>Ohio</st1:state></st1:place> anti-Trump “disrupter” Tommy
DiMassimo. If you fail to take action in the DiMassimo case you will only
foment greater violence in <st1:city>Cleveland</st1:city>
next summer, as well as creating additional potential threats to Secret Service
agents and candidates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. <u>My own role in the presidential campaign</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a bona fide but “boutique” candidate for president in
the Republican Party. I do not expect to receive the nomination but I campaign
actively and am using my campaign as a public policy platform to influence
Republican Party doctrine. Later this week I hope to unveil a major new
campaign issue for the presidential campaign.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was on the <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
ballot and I am seeking ballot access in other states. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I first went to Capitol Hill in the 89th Congress and I have
a long career as a corruption fighter, political reformer and activist, see
www.AndyMartin.com. I am campaigning with the previously-announced promise to
support the Republican Party’s nominee.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nevertheless, my own activity and this letter are totally
independent of any other campaign. As a candidate myself I have a right to seek
action by your agency which protects <b>all</b>
federal candidates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. <u>The media failure regarding the incident in </u><st1:city><st1:place><u>Chicago</u></st1:place></st1:city><u>
March 11th</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A. <u>What took
place in </u><st1:city><st1:place><u>Chicago</u></st1:place></st1:city></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moveon.org admits that it, local agitators and at least one
congressman acted, combined and conspired to stage a takeover of a Donald Trump
event to prevent Trump from speaking. That conspiracy constituted a federal
criminal offense, which I will detail in a letter similar to this one to the U.
S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city> riot
was not an innocent and spontaneous “demonstration” or “protest.” It was an
organized and orchestrated effort to silence the speech of a presidential
candidate, in a forum which his campaign had lawfully rented for the purpose of
speaking. The conspiracy to deny speech constituted a crime under longstanding
federal civil rights statutes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The following day, March 12th a madman attacked Trump and
the Secret service in the Southern District of Ohio.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
B. <u>How the
media failed the American people</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was stunned
to hear, among many other media personalities, Greta VanSusteren say on Fox
News that the disrupters in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
had a “right to protest.” The disrupters did not assemble in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
to protest lawfully. By their own admission they assembled to <b><u>prevent</u></b> political speech. In
fact, President Obama’s old neighbor, Bill Ayers, bragged that he had helped
“shut down” the event, see generally https://twitter.com/WilliamAyers, https://twitter.com/ProgsToday.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The media persists in reporting that a “right to protest”
implies a right to enter and disrupt a political meeting. That is simply not
true. People have a right to protest outside an event, in carefully delineated
spaces if necessary to maintain public safety. No one has a right to enter a
political event with the intent to prevent speech from taking place. But that
is what Bill Ayers and his cohort admittedly intended to do in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The failure of the media to properly report constitutional
law sends a very bad message to other disrupters, namely that they have a
“right to disrupt,” when in fact citizens only have a right to protest in a
lawful manner. The concept that a mob may enter a political event and storm the
speaker or platform is alien to either American law or our political history.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wish the DOJ would also take action concerning the riot in
<st1:city>Chicago</st1:city> (in the ND Ill.) but I am
skeptical you will do so. However, I am absolutely certain that if you do
nothing, you are inviting anarchy and chaos in <st1:city>Cleveland</st1:city>
next summer beyond any protests we have ever seen before. I returned to <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
from Viet-Nam in 1968 on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.
2016 could end up making 1968 look like a picnic if you do nothing to stop the
anarchic internet “organizing” of Mr. Ayers, moveon.org and their
co-conspirators and they are not dissuaded from continuing their criminal
activity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. <u>Tommy DiMassimo’s actions in Vandalia<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A person identified as Tommy DiMassimo was interviewed by
CNN and essentially confessed to the commission of federal criminal acts
against federal officers and a federal candidate, Donald Trump. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to his CNN confession, DiMassimo planned his
attack for months, was aware of a large Secret Service presence on March 12th,
arrived early to obtain a strategic position, and attacked when he saw an
opening to do so. Planning to assault, and assaulting a federal law enforcement
officer is a serious federal offense. The fact that DiMassimo claims he was
only trying to “seize the microphone” is not exculpatory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. <u>The impact of the DiMassimo’s CNN “confession”</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mr. DiMassimo’s “confession” also reflected an irrational
ideation. For example, he claimed to have been exercising his “heckler’s veto,”
when in fact the meaning of the term “heckler’s veto” is the exact opposite of
what DiMassimo believes. The law is clearly established that there is no
“heckler’s veto.” On the contrary, DiMassimo confessed on TV to a planned,
carefully orchestrated scheme to storm a candidate’s platform and to cause a
situation that could have ended in tragedy. The fact that he was unsuccessful
is no basis not to prosecute him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Failure to prosecute him will only embolden copycats and
imitators and other barely rational individuals. You can’t afford to take a chance
that prosecutorial “inaction” will be sufficient in the face of contrary
evidence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. <u>The urgent need to take federal action</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mr. DiMassimo claims he did not want to injure Secret
Service agents or Mr. Trump. But in any violent confrontation, participants
lose control, and spectators are also endangered.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to news reports local prosecutors have charged
DiMassimo with two misdemeanors. That is a totally inadequate law enforcement
response. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DiMassimo confessed on CNN that he planned his crime for
months, carefully orchestrated his strategic presence on March 12th near the
speaking platform and knowingly lunged at a platform protected by the Secret
Service. He admittedly knew Secret Service agents were present and he
intentionally and knowingly charged a position they were defending. That is the
essence of a federal criminal act.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Protection of federal candidates for office is primarily a
federal responsibility under the U. S. Code. Storming Secret Service agents,
which DiMassimo admits he knew were present, is a very serious federal offense.
You cannot allow the inadequate response of local prosecutors to be the last
word on this matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If the Department of Justice does not take this matter
seriously, as well as taking seriously the moveon.org episode in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
seriously, you can expect that madmen and political extremists will stage many
more similar events, constantly endangering agents as well as the protectee.
The DiMassimo crime is truly a case where prosecutorial action will “nip in the
bud” any copycat attacks. Failure by federal prosecutors to treat DiMassimo’s
criminal conduct seriously and immediately endangers everyone, the candidate,
Secret Service agents and the public (please see links below).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. <u>Conclusion</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may be assured of my complete cooperation, if needed. I
am prepared to testify both as a candidate and based on my legal education and
experience as an expert witness.</div>

Dear American:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This will be my fifteenth letter to the American people from
the 2016 campaign trail (# 14 is still in progress). First a quick apology,
then a look back, then finally a “contrarian” analysis that the liberal media
ignore but that common sense Americans readily understand. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been working on a critique of Donald Trump’s campaign
approach. I congratulate him for a great Tuesday night victory but my comments
are still valid and will appear in a few days. As I was preparing a first draft
of the Trump story Sunday night I wanted to append a short paragraph at the end
stating my prediction that Bernie Sanders would “overperform” Tuesday night
(yesterday). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have not finished the Trump story so the Sanders
prediction did not go out, but trust me I had planned to make my very bold call
on <st1:state>Michigan</st1:state>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My little “boutique” presidential campaign is
under-resourced and we are working on the rollout of a major campaign
initiative next week. So I am a little backlogged in getting stories out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I write this letter the <st1:state>Michigan</st1:state>
primary has just been called for Bernie, which is both a major political upset
and also upsets the future course of the 2016 presidential election. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amazingly, no one will tell you why Sanders won <st1:state>Michigan</st1:state>.
I will.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, Hillary is a lousy campaigner. And, yes, Bernie is
against trade agreements, etc. But those issues were not the critical factor
Tuesday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The decisive issue that turned <st1:state>Michigan</st1:state>
around could turn the entire Democratic Party primary campaign upside down as
Sanders goes into <st1:state>Ohio</st1:state>, <st1:state>Pennsylvania</st1:state>,
<st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>, <st1:state>Illinois</st1:state>
and other Middle American states.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The issue is guns.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I watched the Sunday night debate when <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
started exploiting the terrible shooting tragedy in <st1:place><st1:city>Newtown</st1:city>,
<st1:state>Connecticut</st1:state></st1:place> several years ago. The killings
were a horrible event. Unspeakably tragic. But why was <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
tear-jerking? And why punish the gun manufacturers with frivolous lawsuits
because of the actions of a crazed killer?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>, of
course, thought she was being cute by beating up on poor, old Bernie on gun
control. But she was actually shooting herself in the foot, again. They say <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
is “so smart.” I wonder.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The guns used by the crazed killer in <st1:city>Newtown</st1:city>
were lawfully purchased by the killer’s mom. She left them in an open and
unlocked gun cabinet. She knew her son was mentally ill (but did she actually admit
it to herself?).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why would a manufacturer of the Newtown guns be liable for
damages because it produced a legal product, sold it to a legal buyer and the
legal buyer then left the product sitting around for a criminal to misuse?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is not the first time I have predicted <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>’s
abuse of the Second Amendment would boomerang in Bernie’s favor. I made that
prediction before the <st1:state>Iowa</st1:state>
caucuses, and I was both right (see link below) and slightly wrong. Surprisingly,
Bernie almost won <st1:state>Iowa</st1:state>, though I
predicted a win. And I underestimated the power of the African-American vote in
later Southern primaries. But my underlying premise was 100% correct: by
attacking Sanders in <st1:state>Iowa</st1:state> as “pro-gun,”
<st1:city>Clinton</st1:city> had “shot herself in the
foot” and handed Sanders an unexpected gift. Read my earlier story. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunday night she made matters even worse (see links below).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<st1:city>Clinton</st1:city> staked
out the most radical anti-gun position in presidential campaign history. <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
claims that if someone buys a legal product, a gun, but that firearm is later
misused by a non-purchaser or even the lawful purchaser, the manufacturer
should be liable for the injuries caused by the crime. <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
also demands that only “safe guns” be sold. No gun is “safe” in the hands of a
maniac or criminal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, this week the liberal term “dog whistle” really
applies. Monday the NRA tweeted an endorsement of Sanders’ Sunday night point
of view (see link below) which opposed <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>’s
radical proposal. One liberal (at Salon.com, see link below) said the NRA tweet
would hurt Sanders. On the contrary, Sanders’ principled position just won Bernie
an election. That explains how far the liberal (Salon.com) media are divorced
from understanding everyday Americans.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>’s
“extreme” (even the word “extreme” does not go far enough) position on gun control
dooms the Democrats in November.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gun control has been a Democratic Party graveyard since
2000.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This year, Democrats thought they could revive gun control
as a winning issue. Sanders’ victory in <st1:state>Michigan</st1:state>
shows that belief is a pipe dream.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Surprise! Millions of Democrats own guns. Although Bernie is
derided as a socialist dreamer, he is actually a practical politician. He wins elections
in <st1:state>Vermont</st1:state>, a state that
essentially has no local gun control laws (other than applicable federal
statutes). So if <st1:state>Vermont</st1:state> has no
gun control laws, why is the state not a dangerous shooting gallery? Because
law-abiding Vermonters do not abuse or misuse guns. To be sure, Bernie is no
pro-gun “nut.” He still gets a “D” from the NRA. But Bernie has courageously been
defending common sense on guns during the Democratic primary debates, while <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
has shamelessly demagogued the Second Amendment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Where are rural and small town and suburban Democrats going
to buy guns when all of the manufacturers are put out of business by the
liberals’ trial lawyers’ lobby? Guns will eventually disappear if their manufacturers
are forced to disappear. The Second Amendment would ultimately be eviscerated
under <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People are not stupid. People in <st1:state>Michigan</st1:state>
(yes, Democrats!!!) own guns. In <st1:state>Ohio</st1:state>.
In <st1:state>Pennsylvania</st1:state>. In <st1:state>Wisconsin</st1:state>.
Of course they do. We are pluralistic society where residents of small towns
and rural areas can own guns and still hold liberal positions on social or economic
issues.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What about “safe” guns? Well, safe guns are a question of
money. I suppose we could manufacture a foolproof gun, but it could cost more,
a lot more. And who would decide what was a safe gun and what was an unsafe
one? Obviously, <st1:state>Washington</st1:state> bureaucrats
would regulate the manufacturing of firearms. Under <st1:city>Clinton</st1:city>
they would be in control. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To repeat, it is not inexpensive guns, or even simple guns,
that cause crimes. It is criminals. Liberals seem unable to face that reality.
That’s why we have a Second Amendment to protect gun ownership, and why the
views of the new justice who replaces Justice Scalia on the U. S. Supreme Court
are so critical.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right now I can’t predict how the Republican “establishment”
and Donald Trump will come to terms if he wins the nomination (but they will). My
critical article on Trump is still in the works. And my major new campaign issue
is still coming next week.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I can predict with 100% certainty that Hillary Clinton
just upended herself in upcoming <st1:place>Midwest</st1:place> primaries. Even
if she wins her party’s nomination, her stand on gun manufacturer liability
will doom her chances in November. You heard it first here.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Sincerely yours,</div>

Dear American:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This will be my sixteenth letter to the American people from
the 2016 campaign trail (# 14 is still in progress). Friday night I was in <st1:state>New
York</st1:state> en route to our <st1:place>South Florida</st1:place>
war room Saturday for the <st1:state>Florida</st1:state>
primary on Tuesday. I turned on the TV and saw the anarchy in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make no mistake: the rioters in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>,
and the liberal news media that are encouraging and enabling them, are “Obama’s
children.” Loyal Americans must fight back against this anti-American “army.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the past seven years Democrats - Obama, Clinton and
Sanders - have been energizing a grievance industry targeting
African-Americans, Latinos and Muslims. They have falsely portrayed
African-Americans and Latinos as victims of “mass incarceration” and other
imaginary maladies. Friday night, African-Americans, Latinos and Muslims came
together to riot in Chicago at the University of Illinois to prevent Donald
Trump from holding a lawful political rally. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<st1:city>Chicago</st1:city> is now
officially “ungoverned” and very possibly ungovernable territory. What a
disgrace to a great city.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The latest anarchy is being energized by the liberal news
media that is endlessly propagating lies and false legal doctrines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Allow me clarify two legal doctrines for you:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, the “right to protest” is not absolute. If someone
rents an event space, such as a large hall or ballroom or even a stadium, that
person or organization is entitled to use that space without “protesters”
infiltrating the space and trying to disrupt the event. No one has a right to
go into an event being conducted by someone - a campaign, business or other
organization - and disrupt that group’s event. Such disruption is a criminal act.
The so-called Black Lives Matter anarchists that are deliberately disrupting
Trump events are committing criminal acts and they must now be prosecuted by
local authorities. Why did the Chicago Police not make any arrests?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the media falsely claim that “Black Lives Matter”
terrorists have a “right” to go into as Trump event and protest, the media is
totally wrong. No such right exists.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second, there is a broad constitutional right to protest
peacefully OUTSIDE an event, within carefully delineated areas established to maintain
public safety. People can line up outside, make noise, and act obnoxious; they
have an absolute constitutional right to act in that manner OUTSIDE the event.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Society, i.e. law enforcement, has a constitutional obligation
to protect free speech. That duty is called the duty to prevent a “heckler’s
veto:” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler%27s_veto</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the Chicago Police did not officially cancel the Trump
event, authorities obviously warned Trump representatives that the event space
had become corrupted with thousands of violent protesters and that the police
were unable to control the crowd. Trump was essentially forced to cancel his
rally because the Chicago Police lost control of the situation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obama has been energizing minorities for seven years; he has
led them to believe they are victims and have a laundry list of grievances.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have picked up where Obama is leaving off. Many
of the rioters Friday evening were chanting support for Sanders.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What does the <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
riot mean:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Seemingly senile commentators such as David Gergen on CNN
that are anti-Trump are trying to blame Trump for Obama’s rioters. Gergen has
the matter backwards.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. The Democratic Party realizes they can't stop Republicans
in 2016, so they are trying to violently shut down the Republican Party’s
campaign. Trump is a symbol, not a cause, of the rioters’ agenda. Expect
massive Democratic Party-sponsored anarchy at the Republican National
Convention in <st1:city>Cleveland</st1:city>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Hillary Clinton and Obama are practitioners of “rules for
radicals” authored by Saul Alinsky in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>.
Clinton (and Sanders) are trying to radicalize the Democratic Party politic to
prevent Republicans from peacefully assembling, and trying to intimidate
Republicans from speaking their minds on crucial issues facing the nation.
Sanders admits he is a “revolutionary.” “Peaceful revolutions” usually morph
into violent ones. Friday night was a down payment on the Sanders agenda. Now
we know who Bernie’s real supporters are.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Donald Trump does not owe anyone an apology. Inside his
own events, Trump is entitled to engage in colorful speech, hyperbole,
boisterousness and exaggeration. That is the essence of political speech.
Outside protesters cannot intentionally infiltrate Trump events and then try to
make Trump self-censor himself under the threat of disruption. The gentleman
who hit a protester who was being evicted, however, was absolutely wrong. Trump
has no obligation to warn his supporters to be peaceful. They are peacefully assembling
to hear him. The outside agitators are causing the disruption. They are the
ones who should be condemned. They are knowingly and intentionally committing
criminal acts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Although the media have tried to link Trump with Hitler,
Friday night we saw where the real neo-Nazis, and brown shirted storm troopers
are centered: smack in the middle of the Democratic Party’s supporters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. I did not hear any chants for Hillary at the riot, but
there were loud chants for Bernie. If anyone owes the American people an
apology, it is <b>not</b> Donald Trump.
Rather, Bernie Sanders owes Americans and Trump an apology because his
supporters engaged in neo-Nazi tactics trying to censor a political speech.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. I landed in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
from Viet-Nam on the day that the 1968 Democratic National Convention began. I
witnessed all of the chaos that was to follow. Ultimately, unlike David Gergen’s
nonsense that real Americans are going to become afraid of Trump because of the
Black Lives Matter demonstrators, history clearly teaches that real Americans
are going to be afraid of anarchy in the streets and what a Clinton or Sanders
administration could mean. Americans will join Trump, not the Democratic
Party’s demonstrators.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. In 1968, the riots in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
backfired on the Democrats. I can predict without fear of contradiction that
the Obama-Clinton-Sanders riots in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>
Friday night are going to backfire and boomerang on the Democrats. The Democrats
need to call off their brown shirts and storm troopers if they want to have a
chance of winning in November. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. Donald Trump and the Republican Party do not owe anyone
in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>, or anywhere else where
their political meetings are being intentionally disrupted by “outside
agitators,” any apology. The assemblage of “Black Lives Matter” thugs, Sanders
supporters and Democratic Party hooligans are on the verge of becoming an
organized interstate criminal enterprise that must be crushed by federal and
state law enforcement to ensure the integrity of the 2016 presidential
election.</div>

Bush owes South Carolina and John McCain an apology for Bush’s 2000 dirty tricks<div class="MsoNormal">
GOP presidential candidate and “Contrarian Commentary”
columnist Andy Martin breaks his 16-year silence on George W. Bush’s dirty
tricks campaign against Senator John McCain in the 2000 <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state> primary. Andy was accidentally wired in to
the dirty tricks operation and now explains why the Bush Family political
operatives have been lying since 2000. Andy says that Monday (February 15th)
former President George W. Bush should apologize to the people of <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state> and John McCain for smearing McCain in the
2000 primary.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Andy also criticizes Jeb Bush for complaining about
criticism of his “family” when Jeb drags family members into the campaign. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, Andy says the entire Bush Administration lied about
the bogus basis for invading <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iraq</st1:place></st1:country-region>
in 2003. Jeb Bush is disqualified for the presidency because he keeps defending
his brother’s criminal actions in <st1:state><st1:place>South Carolina</st1:place></st1:state>
and <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iraq</st1:place></st1:country-region>. “It
was not a ‘mistake’ that we invaded <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iraq</st1:place></st1:country-region>,”
Andy says. “It was a criminal conspiracy at the highest levels of the Bush
Administration to lie about the facts in 2002-2003. I was there; I knew the
truth and saw the truth. The Republican Party has to accept the truth that
‘Bush lied, people died.’ Jeb Bush cannot be elected president as long as he
continues to defend his brother’s criminality and incompetence in the White
House. Donald Trump may be abrasive but he is telling the truth about Bush
Family calumny.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear American:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my twelfth letter to the American people from the
2016 campaign trail. Today you are going to learn the truth about a footnote to
history: the Bush Family’s campaign of character assassination against John
McCain in the 2000 <st1:state>South Carolina</st1:state>
primary. I know the truth because I was there. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have buttoned my lips for sixteen years because I could not
disclose the truth in 2000; since then, the time has not been right for
disclosure. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But Jeb Bush's continuing defense of his brother George w.
Bush Saturday night (February 13th) in the 2016 <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state> primary mandates that I break my silence and
expose Bush Family fraud and criminality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. <u>The truth about George W. Bush’ smears of John McCain
in 2000 in </u><st1:state><st1:place><u>South Carolina</u></st1:place></st1:state></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes the truth and the facts are surprising; sometimes
they are even more bizarre than they seem. My connection to the Bush Family’s
lies in <st1:state>South Carolina</st1:state> in the
2000 primary are amazing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Starting in December, 1999 I began broadcasting an ad over
WMUR-TV accusing then-governor George W. Bush of wanting to start a war with <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>.
The ad generated a lot of controversy and helped defeat George Bush in the 2000
<st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state> primary. So,
obviously, I was not a supporter of George W. Bush. Ironically, I was also not
a supporter of John McCain. McCain benefited from my disclosures.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Likewise these remarks will benefit and defend Donald
Trump’s accusations. But I am not a supporter of Trump either. And while I am
certain Trump was an opponent of the 2003 invasion after the invasion, I am not
aware of any published comments in which Trump actually opposed the invasion of
Iraq before it took place. On the contrary, starting in 2002 the Bush
Administration created a climate of intimidation and retaliation against anyone
who exposed the insanity of the upcoming (2003) invasion. That is why so many
Democrats were afraid to stand up and voice their own doubts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is where the 2000 story and the truth take a strange
turn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was consulting for a client that had retained a group of
individuals in <st1:place><st1:city>Washington</st1:city>, <st1:state>DC</st1:state></st1:place>.
Entirely unrelated to our common efforts on behalf of a client, those
individuals were antagonistic to McCain and offered their assistance and
support as veterans to the George W. Bush’s presidential campaign. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I knew when Bush’s “veterans” took off to <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state> to smear John McCain. And when McCain
complained of the smear, Bush and Karl Rove pleaded ignorance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rove had completely orchestrated and directed the veterans
who were used to smear McCain. The dirty tricksters were given pride-of-place
at a Bush South Carolina rally. They were a featured photo-op. I watched the
whole smear operation unfold from the inside. Ultimately, the Bush/Rove smear
on McCain backfired, but not until after McCain had lost the <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state> primary and with it any prospect of the
nomination.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And there is yet another twist to the tale. The veterans who
attacked McCain became so toxic that when Bush was ultimately elected after
their help in <st1:state>South Carolina</st1:state>,
Rove ignored them; they never received the political plums they had expected
for their infamous behavior. Bush and Rove stiffed Bush’s own saboteurs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, today, when George W. Bush returns to <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state> to support his brother Jeb, George should
start by issuing apologies to John McCain and to the people of <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state>. The people of <st1:state>South Carolina</st1:state>
love a tough campaign, even a bare-knuckled one. But there is no evidence that <st1:place>South
Carolinians</st1:place> accept lies, distortions and dirty tricks of the type
used by Bush to smear military heroes such as John McCain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Neither Bush nor Rove have ever apologized for orchestrating
the <st1:state>South Carolina</st1:state> smears in 2000.
They pretend they know nothing about their own dirty tricksters. The lies
continue sixteen years later. I knew the truth sixteen years ago, and now you
do too. Bush and Rove owe the people of <st1:state>South Carolina</st1:state>
and John McCain an apology and admission that the Bush campaign orchestrated
the smears against McCain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. <u>Jeb Bush’s hollow complaints about “attacks on his
family”<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Americans in general agree that family members should not be
dragged into a political campaign. But what happens when someone such as Bush
brings his family members into a campaign to bolster his sagging efforts and his
relatives start making stupid remarks? Bush’s “mommy” says he is a nice son. Is
that a basis to elect him president? Or is Jeb trying to trade on his family
connections for political gain? That is a proper target of criticism. If Bush doesn’t
want his family members to be criticized by Donald Trump he should ask them to
stay at home. Jeb should run on his own merits and not his mother’s apron
strings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. <u>The truth about George W. Bush administration lies and
criminality prior to invading </u><st1:country-region><st1:place><u>Iraq</u></st1:place></st1:country-region></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Republican Party has never been able to accept the fact
that Dick Cheney and George Bush and their henchmen corrupted the U. S. Government
to create a false pretext for the invasion of <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
in 2003. Not until Donald Trump started attacking Jeb Bush in 2015 was the question
of George W. Bush’s corruption and incompetence involving <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
opened to a new round of Republican self-examination.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amazingly, many Republicans continue to deny reality, to
accuse the “Democrats” of “partisanship” for exposing George W. Bush’s
outrageous invasion of <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>,
and to ignore the blatant misconduct of Bush and Cheney. While the “Bush lied,
people died” meme is used primarily by Democrats, the accusation is factually
100% correct.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have a background as a <st1:place>Middle East</st1:place>
expert. I first went to the area in 1970. I even lived in <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
in 2003 after the ill-fated invasion. I knew in 2002 and 2003 there were no weapons
of mass destruction. Why didn’t the president? Why did Bernie Sanders know the
invasion was crazy, and Hillary Clinton didn’t? The facts were obvious; there
was no secret font of information.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And yet Jeb Bush continues to defend his brother’s invasion
of <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region> and
claims GW “kept us safe.” How much safer would we be today if thousands of
Americans lost in <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
were still alive, if tens of thousands of maimed Americans had not been maimed
and if trillions of dollars of debt had never been incurred?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jeb and George W. Bush think history will view GW more
favorably than current commentators. They are delusional. History will be even
harsher, as the chaos which GW Bush set in motion continues to destabilize the
world. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Is Bush more popular since leaving office? Well, yes. He has
had the decency to stay out of the limelight. I know from insiders that George
W. Bush is a “nice guy.” I bear him no personal ill will. But he was dumb and
incompetent and his administration will live in infamy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
George W. Bush did not “cause” 9/11. But he was warned of
the threat and chose to ignore it. Is negligence culpability? You be the judge.
Trump inartfully states the 9/11 case against Bush, but on substance Trump is
correct. To ignore warnings is to invite disaster.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I use the term “Bush Administration criminality” with a proper
basis to do so. Bush officials compromised the security of a <st1:stockticker>CIA</st1:stockticker>
official, endangering her and her family as well as her contacts, in
retaliation for her husband’s denying the existence of an Iraqi uranium-buying
operation. That exposure was a crime.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Colin Powell was given ludicrously false intelligence to
present to the UN. That was a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although no one will ever be prosecuted, all of the Bush Administration’s
falsehoods and fabrications constituted criminal actions. The truth hurts. Even
fourteen years later Republicans cannot accept that Bush-Cheney devastated the <st1:country-region>United
States</st1:country-region> with thousands of unnecessary deaths,
tens of thousands of serious casualties and trillions of dollars in unnecessary
debt, all of which were totally unnecessary. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But the “past was past” until the emergence of Donald Trump.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Conservatives” are now attacking Trump for telling the
truth about the folly of the <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
invasion. Here is the truth again: “Bush lied, people died.” Do Republicans
expect to win the White House in 2016 by once again insulting the intelligence
of the American people? Trump may not be the ideal candidate (full disclosure:
I am) but Trump knows that lying to ourselves as conservatives and Republicans
about the calamities of the Bush Family will not help elect a Republican
president in 2016. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did George W. Bush fail as president because he was stupid
or because he was incompetent? Was he a willing or unwitting dupe of Cheney? To
quote that great philosopher of chaos, “What difference does it make?” Bush
lied, people died. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ill-advised withdrawal scheme that Barack Obama
implemented in <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
had originally been negotiated by the Bush Administration. So while Obama added
his own layer of arrogance and incompetence, it was Bush’s initial failures and
his incompetent withdrawal plan that ultimately doomed our efforts in <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>.
Bush’s withdrawal agreement gave Obama the option to cut and run in <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>,
and Obama took it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. <u>Closing thoughts<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From the time I first visited Jeb Bush’s grandfather’s U. S.
Senate office in 1958 as a little boy, I have been aware of the Bush Family and
its machinations. I will have more dirt to dish in the days before the <st1:state>South
Carolina</st1:state> primary on February 20th. And all of my revelations
will be true. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bottom line: Jeb Bush and his family betrayed the trust of
the American people; Jeb is unfit to serve as a presidential candidate of the
Republican Party let alone be elected to the office of president.</div>

that Bush formally denied the media reports of his sexual misconduct, but those

<b>The text of Andy’s is
available after the following remarks.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“I have provided
below links to numerous mainstream media and Democratic Party ‘attack’ sites
discussing Bush’s ‘rumored’ sexual improprieties in </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>Florida</b></st1:place></st1:state><b>,” Andy says. “The mainstream media in 2016
are allowing Bush to portray himself as a competent governor of </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>Florida</b></st1:place></st1:state><b> when in reality his administration was a
chaotic failure. No one is pointing points out Jeb was almost defeated for
reelection. Voters in 2016 have a right to know how Bush was actually viewed
when he was serving in </b><st1:city><st1:place><b>Tallahassee</b></st1:place></st1:city><b>. I began exposing Bush’s corrupt practices in 1994, long before he was
actually elected. After Bush left office he began to line his pockets with cash
from firms he had regulated as a governor.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Bush has a massive
sense of entitlement; that arrogance was demonstrated in the way the
allegations of his sexual impropriety were suppressed in </b><st1:city><st1:place><b>Tallahassee</b></st1:place></st1:city><b>. But voters have a right to know who ‘Jeb’
really is. If Bubba Clinton’s sexual misconduct is still relevant, so is Jeb
Bush’s. I will tie up the loose ends with more reporting about Bush’s failures before
the </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>South
Carolina</b></st1:place></st1:state><b>
presidential primary.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“It is my personal
opinion, based on knowing Bush for over twenty-five years, that he was a
failure as a public official and is a joke as a presidential candidate. But if
Bush and his Wall Street billionaires are allowed to pollute the airwaves with TV
commercials trumpeting his imaginary accomplishments, people will be deceived
into thinking he is a legitimate candidate when he is not. The Bush Family ‘dynasty’
is finished. Jeb is too little, too late,” Andy continues. “I urged Jeb not to
file or to withdraw his candidacy, but he insists on forcing his incompetence
on </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>New
Hampshire</b></st1:place></st1:state><b>
voters. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“While media have
generally reported on Bush’s activities, most of those reports are long in the
past. There is no current reporting in 2016 to counteract the fabrications that
Bush’s billionaire supporters are currently airing on TV. In part, the
dichotomy between long-ago reporting and currently misleading ads is a failure
of our media system to inform voters in a timely manner. There is little in
depth reporting when voters are actually paying attention shortly before the
primaries start taking place. ‘Old news’ is just that; old news. Few voters are
aware of what was published years ago.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“My ad is completely
factual where facts involving Bush are alleged, based on reporting of the
Associated Press, and my accusations against Jennifer Horn also hit the mark.
Horn is a disaster for </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>New Hampshire</b></st1:place></st1:state><b> Republicans, as I will document in a later report.”<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>“The term ‘Birther’ was originally intended
by the media to be a pejorative description of anyone who challenged Barack
Obama’s family history. The liberal media were insulating Obama from the many questions
raised by his mysterious past,” Andy says. “But long ago I accepted the word ‘Birther’
as shorthand for a generalized expression of concern for constitutional
eligibility under the Natural Born Citizen Clause. <o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Ironically, many in the liberal media
support Cruz’s point of view that he is eligible under the NBC Clause. The
liberal media take a ‘liberal’ view of constitutional interpretation. Conservatives
within Cruz’ own base, on the other hand, manifest the most concern about
whether Cruz satisfies the constitutional mandate of being a Natural Born
Citizen. One Poll has claimed that more than a third (36%) of Republicans have
some doubts as to Cruz’ eligibility (please see link [1] below).<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>I. <u>The origins of the Natural Born
Citizen Clause</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>A. <u>What the Founders feared in adopting
the NBC Clause</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>We forget today how completely fragile the
“</b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>United
States</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b>” were at the time that the Constitution was drafted. There was a great
fear that a foreign prince could come to </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>America</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b>, produce an heir, and attempt to establish
a royal dynasty. Today these concerns seem silly. In 1789 they were very real.
The Constitution was drafted to restrict power, restrain power and control
power. Most of that restrictiveness was directed at domestic despots who might
be tempted to evolve. But there were clearly designs intended to limit foreign
influence in the future. The Natural Born Citizen Clause was and remains
foremost among the constitutional language intended to restrict access to the
presidency.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>B. <u>The restrictiveness of the NBC Clause</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The NBC Clause is intended to be very
restrictive. The Founders wanted to limit, not expand, the range of persons who
were eligible to be elected president. So it is simply meaningless to say the
clause “disqualifies” or “discriminates” or is “unfair.” The clause was
intended to be precisely that. Senators and Representatives need only be
“citizens;” only the President must be a ‘Natural Born Citizen.” The common law
was highly evolved around the time the Constitution was adopted. The term
“natural born” had a recognized common law meaning. The Founders knew exactly
what they were doing when they adopted the restrictive language for
presidential eligibility.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>C. <u>Canons (“principles”) of
constitutional construction<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Common Law developed in part through
“canons” of construction, not unlike canons in ecclesiastical law. A “canon” is
a generalized principle of law that directs how a legal question should
initially be approached. One canon applicable to the NBC Clause is that all
words have meaning, and that words are inserted with a meaning. Senators and
Representatives need only be “citizens.” The NBC Clause applies solely to the
office of president. The canon of statutory constriction that words mean
something, and that special words mean something special, mandate that the
phrase NBC means something, something specific and something special. So we
can’t just ignore the NBC Clause.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>II. <u>Subsequent Constitutional Amendments
and statutory enactments</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>A. <u>Congress cannot amend the NBC Clause</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>There have been claims that after enactment
of the Constitution Congress adopted laws that broadened the scope of the NBC Clause.
Congress lacks any jurisdiction to amend or modify that clause. Congress has
broad powers under the “naturalization” provision of the Constitution to create
rights to citizenship, but those powers are entirely separate from the
inviolate NBC Clause.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>B. <u>Did the Civil Rights Amendments
modify the NBC Clause?<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>After the Civil War the nation passed the
Civil Rights Amendments abolishing slavery and imposing rights applicable to
the states under the Fourteenth Amendment. Some people argue that the “subject
to the jurisdiction” language of the Fourteenth Amendment was intended to
modify the restrictions of the NBC Clause. I do not believe the Supreme Court
would recognize that argument. There is no question that the Fourteenth Amendment
broadened access to citizenship, but that amendment was focused on remedying
the horrors of slavery, not modifying the NBC Clause.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>C. <u>Have Supreme Court decisions “amended”
the NBC Clause?<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Supreme Court lacks any authority to
modify or dilute the NBC Clause. Only an actual and specific amendment to the
Constitution can effect such a change. In fact, even liberals acknowledge the
immutability of the NBC Clause. There have been several proposals in recent
decades to adopt a specific constitutional amendment modifying or eliminating
the NBC Clause. None have been approved by Congress, the first step in
implementing a constitutional amendment.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<st1:stockticker><b>III</b></st1:stockticker><b>. <u>Modern
constitutional analysis of the natural Born Citizen Clause</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>A. “<u>Originalist” interpretation vs.
modern interpretation of old laws and constitutional provisions</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Beginning perhaps with the Nixon presidency
conservatives have vocally argued for implementing only the “original intent”
of the Founders when they originally approved the Constitution. Liberals tend
to follow the view that the Constitution is a “living” document and that
interpretations can change. I agree with both approaches. The starting place must
always be the original language and intent; but if that language and intent
lead to an illogical or inconsistent result, modern generations can approve a
Constitution that meets their needs. The “originalists” have been vocal
advocates for their point of view; but over almost the past half a century the
“living constitution” advocates have continued to prevail in actual Supreme
Court decisions.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>IV. <u>The “Case or Controversy” principle
of the Supreme Court</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Constitution only gives the Supreme
Court jurisdiction in “cases or controversies.” The doctrine of “standing” is
nowhere mentioned in the Constitution. But to effectuate the case or
controversy limitation on it powers the Supreme Court developed the doctrine of
“standing,” i.e. a requirement that a litigant must have an actual interest,
and not merely a hypothetical or generalized interest, in a lawsuit which the
court is asked to resolve.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>There are already lawsuits involving Cruz’
eligibility. But because they are generalized attacks on Cruz these cases are
unlikely to succeed one way or the other. I can’t predict with ironclad
certainty whom the court would allow to challenge Cruz’ eligibility, but at a
minimum that person would have to present more than a mere “public” interest in
Cruz’ eligibility. The most likely challengers are actual, legally qualified candidates
who are either running against Cruz or lose to him.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The “standing” doctrine raises a
significant barrier to any lawsuits involving Cruz’ eligibility.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>V. <u>Andy Martin’s matrix for NBC Clause
analysis</u><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Lawyers love procedures. They love rules.
And they love “process.” Here is my proposed method for analyzing NBC Clause
cases:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>If a presidential candidate was actually born
in the </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>United
States</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b>, there should be a rebuttable presumption that he or she is eligible
to serve. The burden of proof should shift to protesters. If, on the other hand,
a candidate such as Cruz is born outside the </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>United States</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b>, there should be a presumption of ineligibility,
and the burden of proof of satisfying eligibility should be on the candidate,
not protesters.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The only exception to this analytical
matrix should be for persons born to </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>U. S.</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b> representatives overseas, such as military
personnel and diplomatic officials. Clearly, military facilities and diplomatic
stations and related areas (such as hospitals, etc.) are de facto American
soil.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Because Cruz was born outside the </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>United States</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b>, under my matrix he is presumptively
ineligible to serve as president and the burden of proving his eligibility is
on him.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>VI. <u>The Bottom Line on eligibility: Ted
Cruz’ ‘Conundrum’<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Ted Cruz’ constitutional eligibility to
serve as president is a conundrum. If you follow the principles of
“originalist” interpretation that have been conservative dogma since the Nixon
era, and which Cruz has always advanced in his own constitutional advocacy,
there is serious doubt that the Founders intended for Cruz to be eligible.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>If, on the other hand, you follow modern
principles of constitutional interpretation, there is a valid basis for Cruz to
be deemed eligible. There are still clouds and doubts, however, since all of
the facts concerning his family’s presence in </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>Canada</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b> have not yet been disclosed and analyzed.
Did Ted’s mother accept government benefits for which only Canadians are eligible?
Such receipt by her might affect a view as to whether she ever surrendered her </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>U. S.</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b> citizenship, either intentionally or
inadvertently. We simply don’t know. Cruz won’t say. He brushes off any public
concerns.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>If Cruz was elected president, and during
his candidacy for the office, there would always be claims that he is not
eligible under the NBC Clause. Cruz cannot escape them. Even under modern
interpretations of eligibility, Cruz’ birth in </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>Canada</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b> to only one </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>U. S.</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b> parent raises at least a preliminary
question as to his eligibility.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Is there a court that will address Cruz’
eligibility? There is serious doubt under the “standing” doctrine that a court
will do so, unless a losing candidate or opposing candidate of Cruz’ elects to
challenge him in court. Cruz’ claim that the matter has been put to rest by
earlier judicial decisions is simply not true.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Ted Cruz constitutional conundrum
continues and will continue until Cruz is either defeated or a court actually
rules definitively in a case where he is an actual party.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

Andy Martin will hold a news conference at the Capital Hilton to open the Ted
Cruz Birther Summit/National Conversation. The three-day Summit/Conversation
will explore questions that have been raised about Cruz’ Canadian birth and
eligibility to serve as president.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“The term ‘Birther’ was originally intended
by the media to carry a pejorative connotation as they sought to insulate then
presidential candidate Barack Obama from questions about his family history,”
Andy says. “But I accept the word ‘Birther’ as shorthand for an expression of
concern involving constitutional presidential eligibility in general. I had
absolutely no idea when I began researching Barack Obama’s family background
twelve years ago that more than a decade later I would be revisiting the same
issues for a Republican presidential candidate. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“The Ted Cruz Birther Summit/National Conversation
will explore the constitutional issues of Cruz’ presidential eligibility in
some detail. Although Senator Cruz was invited to cooperate and send someone on
his behalf if he wished to do so, he has not responded or replied to our
requests for documents.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Ironically, many in the liberal media
support Cruz’s point of view that he is eligible. The liberal media take a
‘liberal’ view of constitutional interpretation. Conservatives within Cruz’ own
base, on the other hand, manifest the most concern about whether Cruz satisfies
the constitutional mandate of being a Natural Born Citizen. One Poll claimed
that more than a third (36%) of Republicans have some question as to Cruz’
eligibility (please see link [1] below).<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“While I previously raised and addressed almost
all of the issues in the context of Barack Hussein Obama’s candidacy, see group
link [2] below, and expressed my expert opinions at that time, I am taking a
fresh look at the Natural Born Citizen question. Other law professors have also
expressed their views, see group link [3] below. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“In order to permit opportunities for the
broadest possible participation and discussion we are going to conduct an
evening session on Friday the 29th, an afternoon session on Saturday the 30th
and a morning session on Sunday the 31st. I have reserved a suite at the
Capital Hilton so we will be holding our meeting in the shadow of the White
House two blocks away. Maybe President Obama will stroll over and give us his
views.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“People who have read my work on Obama over
the past twelve years know that when I don my candidate’s ‘hat’ I express my own
partisan views. But when, as in the Summit/National Conservation, I undertake
to conduct a scholarly discussion, I try to be scrupulously fair and impartial.

Andy Martin is preparing to convene his Ted Cruz Birther Summit/National
Conversation in </b><st1:place><st1:city><b>Washington</b></st1:city><b>, </b><st1:state><b>DC</b></st1:state></st1:place><b>.
“We are forty-eight hours away from the start of the meeting,” Andy says. “The
meaning of the term ‘Natural Born Citizen’ has triggered a great national
conversation. We are all ‘Birthers’ now. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“The term ‘Birther’ was originally intended
by the media to carry a pejorative connotation as they sought to insulate then
presidential candidate Barack Obama from questions about his family history.
But I accept the word ‘Birther’ as shorthand for an expression of concern for
constitutional presidential eligibility in general. I had absolutely no idea when
I began researching Barack Obama’s background twelve years ago that more than a
decade later I would be revisiting the same issues for a Republican
presidential candidate. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“The Ted Cruz Birther Summit/National Conversation
will explore the constitutional issues of Cruz’ presidential eligibility in
some detail. We have invited noted scholars to participate in the </b><st1:city><st1:place><b>Summit</b></st1:place></st1:city><b> but we can’t predict what attendance will
be due to weather, etc. Senator Cruz has been invited to cooperate and send
someone on his behalf if he wishes to do so.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Ironically, many in the liberal media
support Cruz’s point of view that he is eligible. The liberal media take a
‘liberal’ view of constitutional interpretation. Conservatives within Cruz’ own
base, on the other hand, manifest the most concern about whether Cruz satisfies
the constitutional mandate of being a Natural Born Citizen. Polls have shown
that more than a third of Republicans have some question as to Cruz’
eligibility.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“While I previously raised and addressed almost
all of the issues in the context of Barack Hussein Obama’s candidacy, see link
[1] below, and expressed my expert opinions at that time, I am taking a fresh
look at the Natural Born Citizen question. Other law professors have also
expressed their views, see group link [2] below. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“In order to permit opportunities for the
broadest possible participation and discussion we are going to conduct an
evening session on Friday the 29th, an afternoon session on Saturday the 30th
and a morning session on Sunday the 31st. I have reserved a suite at the
Capital Hilton so we will be holding our meeting in the shadow of the White
House two blocks away. Maybe President Obama will stroll over and give us his
views.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“People who have read my work on Obama over
the past twelve years know that when I don my candidate’s ‘hat’ I express my
own partisan views. But when, as in the Summit/National Conservation, I
undertake to conduct a scholarly discussion, I try to be scrupulously fair and
impartial. I can’t predict what the weather will be or what the turnout will
be, but I am prepared for a spirited discussion. <o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>GOP presidential
candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester, New Hampshire news conference
today, Tuesday, January 19th, to release a radio ad that will start running on
stations across New Hampshire this week. The ad alerts voters to a sex scandal
involving Bush when he was governor of </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>Florida</b></st1:place></st1:state><b>. Andy Martin has been a political opponent
of Jeb Bush’s for decades. The radio ad addresses “rumors” of Bush’s sexual
escapades with a state employee while Jeb was serving as governor of </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>Florida</b></st1:place></st1:state><b>. “I should point out that Bush formally
denied the media reports of his sexual misconduct,” Andy says, “but those
reports were widespread and persistent. Bush is an arrogant snob with a
colossal sense of entitlement. I believe the rumors are true. We are continuing
our investigation and seeking to meet with the principals to gather more facts.
Bush’s behavior was ‘Clintonesque.’ The rumors alone explain why Bush has had
so many family problems, which I will be addressing later in the week or next
week.” A copy of the radio ad is attached to emailed versions of this report;
the ad is already available on Andy’s web site, <a href="http://www.andymartinforpresident.com/">www.AndyMartinforPresident.com</a>,
for worldwide listening.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

19th to release a radio ad that will start running on stations across New

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The text of Andy’s ad
is available after the following remarks.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“I have provided
below links to numerous mainstream media and Democratic Party ‘attack’ sites
discussing Bush’s sexual improprieties in </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>Florida</b></st1:place></st1:state><b>,” Andy says. “The mainstream media in 2016
are allowing Bush to portray himself as a competent governor of </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>Florida</b></st1:place></st1:state><b> when in reality his administration was a
chaotic failure. He was almost defeated for reelection. Voters in 2016 have a
right to know how Bush was actually viewed when he was serving in </b><st1:city><st1:place><b>Tallahassee</b></st1:place></st1:city><b>. I began exposing Bush’s corrupt practices
in 1994, long before he was actually elected. After Bush left office he began
to line his pockets with cash from firms he had regulated as a governor.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Bush has a massive
sense of entitlement; that arrogance was demonstrated in the way the
allegations of his sexual impropriety were suppressed in </b><st1:city><st1:place><b>Tallahassee</b></st1:place></st1:city><b>. But voters have a right to know who ‘Jeb’
really is. If Bubba Clinton’s sexual misconduct is still relevant, so is Jeb
Bush’s. I will tie up the loose ends with more reporting about Bush’s failures
later this week or next.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“It is my personal
opinion, based on knowing Bush for over twenty-five years, that he was a
failure as a public official and is a joke as a presidential candidate. But if
Bush and his Wall Street billionaires are allowed to pollute the airwaves with TV
commercials trumpeting his imaginary accomplishments, people will be deceived
into thinking he is a legitimate candidate when he is not. The Bush Family ‘dynasty’
is finished. Jeb is too little, too late,” Andy continues. “I urged Jeb not to
file or to withdraw his candidacy, but he insists on forcing his incompetence
on </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>New
Hampshire</b></st1:place></st1:state><b>
voters. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“While media have
generally reported on Bush’s activities, most of those reports are long in the
past. There is no current reporting in 2016 to counteract the fabrications that
Bush’s billionaire supporters are currently airing on TV. In part, the
dichotomy between long-ago reporting and currently misleading ads is a failure
of our media system to inform voters in a timely manner. There is little in
depth reporting when voters are actually paying attention shortly before the
primaries start taking place. ‘Old news’ is just that; old news. Few voters are
aware of what was published years ago.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“My ad is completely
factual where facts involving Bush are alleged, based on reporting of the
Associated Press, and my accusations against Jennifer Horn also hit the mark.
Horn is a disaster for </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>New Hampshire</b></st1:place></st1:state><b> Republicans, as I will document in a report later this week.”<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>In 1999-200, Andy ran
an ad on WMUR-TV charging that George W. Bush wanted to start a war with </b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b>Iraq</b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b>. Andy’s ad proved prophetic. The ad is
generally credited with helping defeat Bush in the 2000 </b><st1:state><st1:place><b>New Hampshire</b></st1:place></st1:state><b> primary.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>GOP presidential
candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester, New Hampshire news conference
today, Monday, January 18th, to explain Part One of “Why Ted Cruz is unfit to
serve as president.” Andy’s “unfitness” series will deal with Cruz’ financial deficiencies
as a candidate and not his Canadian birth status. “Donald Trump is a super-successful
businessman,” Andy says. “But he is a very inexperienced, unprepared and often disorganized
candidate. Trump is attacking Cruz for his prior failure to file financial
reports. Unfortunately, Trump is missing the ‘forest for the trees.’ Trump, in
real estate terms, is ‘leaving a lot of money on the table.’ Ted Cruz’ family situation
is such that he simply is unelectable because of his wife’s career at Goldman
Sachs while that firm was looting </b><st1:place><b>Middle America</b></st1:place><b>.
The disqualification is not that Cruz overlooked his Goldman Sachs loan; the real
disqualification is that Cruz’ career was financed by his wife’s tainted Goldman
cash.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

in the White House? Absolutely not. Millions of Americans lost their homes
because of the financial trickery of Goldman and Wall Street firms and hedge
funds. That trickery is still going on. Putting a Goldman employee in the White
House would be a slap in the face to the millions, probably tens of millions,
of victims of Goldman Sachs' greed and gross abuse of our free markets. <o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Heidi Cruz obviously
wasn’t paid millions of dollars to lick envelopes at Goldman. She had a job
that provided lavish compensation, for using financial legerdemain to steal
from the American people. For a private citizen such behavior may be lawful;
for a president’s spouse? For shame. I believe Heidi Cruz and every Goldman
employee is guilty even if they did not personally engage in trickery. They
knew they were profiting from the firm’s perfidiousness.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“I bear Ted Cruz no
ill will. If he is nominated, I will vote for him. In many respects his life is
a testament to the American Dream which I honor. But in rising through the
ranks he and his wife profited from the misery of millions or ordinary
Americans, the very Middle American Evangelicals he is now trying to trick
again, into voting for him. Cruz used his wife’s blood money from Goldman to
help finance his senate campaign. This time, his scheme will not succeed. <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>“Republicans should
wake up to the reality that Ted Cruz’ wife’s relationship to Goldman Sachs is a
disqualifying factor. We do not need a ‘Bonne and </b><st1:place><b>Clyde</b></st1:place><b>’ of Goldman Sachs in the White House.<o:p></o:p></b></div>

in the race, he should release both his and his wife’s tax returns going back
fifteen years (the way Jeb Bush did) and release all of the paperwork
disclosing his wife’s career and compensation from and relationship with
Goldman Sachs that allowed them to receive a $500,000 loan. Once that
information has seen the light of day, voters can make up their own minds concerning
his fitness to be nominated and serve. I have my opinion. What’s yours?”<o:p></o:p></b></div>

GOP presidential candidate and constitutional scholar Andy
Martin will hold a <st1:city>New York City</st1:city> news
conference today, Saturday, January 16th, to release details of the upcoming
Ted Cruz Birther Summit/National Conversation. Andy is also releasing the
registration form for persons wishing to attend the conference/conversation.
“We are a nation governed by a Constitution,” Andy says. “Ted Cruz’ candidacy
has opened a great national conversation on the origins and meaning of that Constitution.
I have been dealing with Article II ‘Natural Born Citizen’ issues for over a
decade and I am delighted to host a conversation in the nation’s capital January
29-31. Ironically, although Cruz has attacked ‘liberal Democrats’ as the source
of his eligibility issues, in reality it is Cruz’ own ‘base’ that holds the
most conservative views on the meaning of ‘Natural Born Citizen.’”</div>

candidate and constitutional scholar/litigator Andy Martin will hold a <st1:state>New
York</st1:state> news conference today, Saturday, January 16th to
provide details on what is now being billed as the Ted Cruz Birther
Summit/National Conversation. “Anyone who has ever stood in a classroom as I
have knows how difficult it is to motivate people to study constitutional
details,” Andy says. “But the question of the meaning of the term ‘Natural Born
Citizen’ has triggered a great national conversation, so we are now calling our
conference the Ted Cruz Birther <st1:city>Summit</st1:city>/‘National
Conversation’ as well. Senator Cruz has been asked to cooperate and
participate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We
are witnessing a politically schizophrenic moment. Cruz is attacking the ‘liberal
national media’ as sources of questions concerning his presidential
eligibility. But, ironically, the liberal national media generally support
Cruz’s point of view that he is eligible. The liberal media take a ‘liberal’
view of constitutional interpretation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Rather,
it is conservatives within Cruz’ own base who manifest the most concern about
whether Cruz satisfies the constitutional mandate of being a Natural Born
Citizen. There is a great deal of concern and confusion, but also a great deal
of clarity (please see links below).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I
have previously raised and addressed all of these issues in the context of
Barack Hussein Obama’s candidacy, and expressed my expert opinions. The recent filing
of what appears to be a frivolous lawsuit against Cruz in a federal court in
Texas creates some urgency that we conduct our ‘summit’ and ‘national
conversation’ and we are on schedule to do so. The conference registration form
accompanies this release.”</div>

Re: <b><u>Presidential
eligibility</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear Ted:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. <u>My background investigating Barack Hussein Obama<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A couple of months ago someone emailed me and asked me to
lead the charge to challenge your eligibility to be a presidential candidate. I
declined the invitation. But in light of recent events I have reviewed the
matter and have decided to convene a “Ted Cruz Birther Summit” in <st1:place><st1:city>Washington</st1:city>,
<st1:state>DC</st1:state></st1:place> on January 29-31. I am writing to ask
your cooperation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ten (10) years ago I started investigating Barack Hussein
Obama and led an international team of researchers. Unlike most candidates, who
are managed by handlers and advisers, I actually do my own investigative work. My
original research eventually became the basis for the so-called “Birther” movement.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In October, 2008 I filed the first lawsuit to open Obama’s <st1:state>Hawai’i</st1:state>
birth certificate to public inspection. Later, others used my research to make claims
that were not supportable based on the available evidence. I have never seen
any credible or admissible evidence to contradict my conclusion that Obama was
born in <st1:state>Hawai’i</st1:state>, although I have
propounded a theory (and <b><i>not</i></b> a “fact”) that Obama’s parentage
may not be that which he claims.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the reasons Obama and his posse relentlessly attacked
me in 2008 was because I had and continue to have a single-minded focus on
searching for the truth and trying to find the facts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In looking into and researching your constitutional
eligibility I will adhere to the same rigorous evidentiary standard, trying to
find the facts and searching for the truth. I ask your cooperation and
assistance in doing so, in order that the Birther Summit may provide a forum
for resolving doubts as to your eligibility.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. <u>Our shared backgrounds as constitutional litigators<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been litigating constitutional matters for
forty-eight years. My litigation experience is considerably broader than yours,
however, because I have been involved in both state-related and ordinary civil litigation.
Very often my disclosures have embarrassed and irritated public officials. And
sometimes I have created new vistas in the law. For example, when I first
contacted state attorneys general two decades ago, many said they had no idea
about Microsoft’s state-related antitrust liability. Over time I encouraged
AG’s to activate anti-Microsoft units. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been attacked by Bill Gates, <st1:country-region>U.
S.</st1:country-region> Senators and federal judges, among
others. I am proud of the enemies I have made over the decades. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am known for extensive due diligence research before filing
a claim.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. <u>The Ted Cruz Birther </u><st1:city><st1:place><u>Summit</u></st1:place></st1:city><u>
and my prior experience<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I first met Donald Trump in 1978 or 1979. We were neighbors
at Olympic Tower, <st1:state>New York</st1:state> where
I approved his residency application to become a tenant. Later I met with the
architects who were designing <st1:place><st1:placename>Trump</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Tower</st1:placetype></st1:place>
and furnished informal advice; until recently I had a set of the original
blueprints for the Tower. I have followed Donald’s colorful career over the decades
and occasionally we have intersected. But I always operate independently of
anyone and am doing so in this instance. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nevertheless, I would be less than candid if I did not admit
to becoming more interested in the question of your eligibility as Trump laid
out a potential litigation scenario for Democratic activists if you were to
obtain the presidential nomination.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Litigants do not need to ultimately win a lawsuit to win the
point they advocate in court. How’s this for a potential scenario? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You win the nomination. A Democratic Party activist looks
for a judicial district where a liberal Democratic judge is likely to hear
their case. They file a lawsuit and a judge issues a TRO or OSC directing you
to appear in September or October to respond. Such an order could cause chaos
for the Republican Party even if the order was ultimately vacated. Although you
have litigated “high end” cases I am not aware that you have any ordinary or
“street smart” litigation experience. I do, and could create a lawsuit along
the lines both I and Trump have sketched out. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fact, I created such a lawsuit in 2008 and cost Obama millions
of votes that he would have otherwise received. Without my <st1:state>Hawai’i</st1:state>
litigation and overall “Birther” activity Obama would have swept to an even
greater electoral victory. After John McCain’s campaign imploded I became the
target of Obama’s attacks on national TV and in the New York Times; his people and
Democratic Party leaders recognized I was costing Obama votes. So my
speculation on your current situation is neither unreasonable nor irrational.
In 2008 I created exactly such a lawsuit along the lines of Trump’s hypothesis.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sam Stein of Huffington Post once called me a “noted
conservative dirty trickster.” I plead guilty to being a “noted conservative”
but I have never engaged in dirty tricks in my life. Rather, I adhere to the
Sergeant Joe Friday approach: “Just the facts, ma’am.” Actually, when Democrats
get confronted with the facts and the truth, they think that is a “dirty
trick.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. <u>What do I need from you?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because I am proceeding with an organized and coherent
approach I have created a check list to guide my activity. Here is what I would
like from you:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A. I believe your dad needs to sit for a deposition (under
oath) as to his knowledge about your birth status. Please let me know if he is
willing to do so.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
B. I need for you to provide a general FOIA waiver for every
agency of the federal government. We need to determine how you entered the <st1:country-region>U.
S.</st1:country-region> in 1974 as I propose to ask for release
of your 1974 records. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
C. We need any evidence that confirms your birth was
reported to <st1:country-region>U. S.</st1:country-region>
consular officials in 1970.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
D. Although I do not believe it is relevant, since no one disputes
where your mother was born, I would appreciate a clear copy of your mom’s birth
certificate. (Internet copies are blurry.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
E. We need another copy of your own Canadian birth
registration. When you were born the birth was registered by Canadian
officials. Although you produced a copy of the <st1:city>Edmonton</st1:city>
record in 2013 I think we should dig deeper because the <st1:city>Edmonton</st1:city>
certificate was based on original information reported from <st1:city>Calgary</st1:city>,
presumably a hospital or local agency.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
F. We need any and all voting information you or anyone else
working with you has as to any voter registration by both of your parents.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
G. We need a list of all residence addresses for your family
while you lived in <st1:country-region>Canada</st1:country-region>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
H. We need a document waiving any privacy rights under
Canadian law so we may also directly order a copy of your birth registration
document and related material from both <st1:city>Edmonton</st1:city>
and <st1:city>Calgary</st1:city>, including hospital
records. I assume we need your permission to obtain such documentation, and I
am asking for written permission to directly contact Canadian officials and
hospital administrators for their cooperation and records.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The foregoing is only a preliminary listing of requests and
as we generate leads and information we may ask for more information and
documentation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obviously, Canadian records in <st1:city>Calgary</st1:city>
and <st1:country-region>U. S.</st1:country-region>
consular records are the best evidence of what was reported to <st1:city>Edmonton</st1:city>
at the time of your birth; your willingness to re-release that information and
to authorize independent access to Canadian files could expedite a resolution
of any questions about your status. Correspondingly, a refusal to do so could
very well trigger an adverse inference in the minds of the voting public.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5.<u> Conclusion</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I do not support or oppose your candidacy. Although I am not
in the “Top Six” presidential candidates, as other candidates drop out I may
move into the “Top Ten.” I will keep on campaigning for a Republican Party
committed to public integrity until the National Convention. Although I have pledged
to support the party’s nominee (including you) I am only actively working to
defeat Jeb Bush because I think he is a blight on the political process.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
about this letter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sooner we receive the requested information, documents and
access authorization the sooner we can resolve any doubts as to your
constitutional eligibility for the office of president.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a telephone
news conference today, Sunday, January 10th to announce he will convene a
“Birther Summit” on Ted Cruz’ eligibility to be a presidential candidate in
Washington, DC on January 29-31. Andy created the anti-Obama “Birther”
movement, and then walked away when some extremists began to attack Obama
without an evidentiary basis to do so. Andy has reserved a hotel space and is
soliciting financial support to underwrite the conference. Andy is a
constitutional law expert who has litigated major constitutional cases and
consulted on other historic litigation. Andy’s seminal research and advocacy created
the anti-Microsoft movement and energized state attorneys general to litigate
claims against Microsoft. Andy is also running his own national presidential
campaign. Andy is also soliciting any and all factual and documentary information
about Cruz and his family history.</div>

“Sam Stein of the Huffington Post has unfairly accused me of
being a ‘noted conservative dirty trickster,’” Andy says. “I plead guilty to
being a ‘noted conservative.’ But ‘dirty tricks’ are done anonymously and in
secret. I operate in the open, in full public view, and my operations are
fact-based and evidence-based. The Birther Summit will adhere to and uphold the
same high standards of proof for my investigation into Ted Cruz’ citizenship
and presidential eligibility.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I pursued Barack Obama relentlessly on the facts of his
birth, parentage and citizenship. But I walked away from the extremists that
used crackpot theories to question Obama’s origins. The reason my attacks on
Obama were so devastating and long-lasting in 2008, and have resonated and expanded
during his presidency, is because I searched and continue to search for the
truth about Obama and presented only credible accusations that could stand up
in a court of law. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This is the third presidential campaign in which my
investigative efforts have assumed a major, possibly decisive role.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I should also point out that while I recently explained the
origins of the ‘Natural Born Citizen’ clause in the Constitution, and there is
general agreement on those origins, even among liberals (please see link [1]
below), there is more to be written and discussed at the <st1:city>Summit</st1:city>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am not supporting or attacking Ted Cruz. He is also a
noted constitutional litigator, and he certainly understands that a fair and impartial
investigation into his past by an internationally-recognized investigator such
as myself will help to dispel the lies, if any there be, and help to establish
the truth if there is truth to be found, about his citizenship and family
origins.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I should also point out that in 2008, while I explained the
origins of the natural Born Citizen Clause, I also expressed skepticism that
any court could be found to apply the ‘original intent’ of the Founders. Judges
are reluctant to intervene in election matters, with one notable exception.
That is why I believe Alan Grayson’s threat to file a lawsuit against Cruz is
exaggerated and unfounded.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We are soliciting evidence and factual information about
Ted Cruz (see below) and we will receive and review all submissions before the <st1:city>Summit</st1:city>.
I will also be contacting Ted Cruz and asking him to cooperate with the <st1:city>Summit</st1:city>
and to provide detailed family history and documentation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The mainstream media and leftist hacks such as Dana Milbank
are calling on Americans to ignore the serious constitutional issues and in
effect to ‘bury’ the Constitution (please see link [2] below). The Constitution
is not a document that can be ignored, or ‘buried,’ or subverted by a transient
majority of the population. The Constitution ‘is what it is,’ and its meaning
does not depend on a Clintonian definition of ‘is.’ The facts are the facts. We
will search for the facts about Cruz, and spread them out in public for
everyone to review at the Birther Summit,” Andy says. “We have tentatively
reserved hotel space and we are revving up for January 29-31. We are soliciting
additional financial support to conduct the meeting.”</div>

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a telephone news conference
today, January 7th to provide background on the “Birther” dispute that has
arisen between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Twelve years ago Andy’s international
research created the Birther movement when Andy challenged Barack Obama’s
claims about his family history.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am generally credited with creating the ‘Birther’
movement,” Andy says. “Twelve years ago I did original research from <st1:city>Honolulu</st1:city>
to Mombassa delving into Barack Obama’s family history. In time, the media adopted
the disparaging term ‘Birther’ to describe Americans who harbored doubts about
Obama’s ‘nativity’ story. Others also used my research as a jumping off point,
and extended their arguments far beyond any credible evidence. At that point I
walked away from the Birther movement. I have continued my research in <st1:state>Hawai’i</st1:state>
and elsewhere. All of my claims have been fact-based and evidence-based.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. <b><u>Origins of the
“Natural Born Citizen” requirement</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The “Natural Born Citizen” (“NBC”) requirement dates back
to the original language of the U. S. Constitution adopted in 1789. The
Founders were afraid that some foreign prince would come to <st1:country-region>America</st1:country-region>,
have a child and create a monarchy. During the Eighteenth Century “Natural
Born” had a clearly defined meaning: a NBC was someone both of whose parents
had been born in the home country. If a citizen was born in the <st1:country-region>U.
S.</st1:country-region> but his parents were not, that person was
not eligible to be president. No one can reasonably dispute the factual and
constitutional origins of the NBC clause in 1789. One of the reasons the NBC
controversy has proven so durable is because it is clear the ‘original intent’
of the Founders was to create a sharp distinction between presidential eligibility
and eligibility for other offices (Senator, Representative).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. <b><u>The post-Civil
War creates a new definition of “citizenship”<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“In the aftermath of the Civil War the Fourteenth Amendment
was passed to confer ‘citizenship’ (but not NBC) on all persons born in the <st1:country-region>United
States</st1:country-region>. The use of the term ‘citizenship’ created
an arguably different class of persons from NBC persons. Because almost a
century had passed since the adoption of the 1789 Constitution, few were afraid
of a foreign prince establishing a dynasty through the birth of a child in the <st1:country-region>USA</st1:country-region>.
The distinction between NBC and ‘citizenship’ had become immaterial. Later in
the closing years of the Nineteenth Century, the U. S. Supreme Court
interpreted ‘citizenship’ to be available to anyone born in the U. S. (it is
this expansive interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that creates a basis
for the ‘anchor baby’ dispute in the current day).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. <b><u>“Citizenship”
issues for other presidential candidates<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Senator (later Governor) Lowell Weicker was a potential
presidential candidate. He was born in <st1:city>Paris</st1:city>.
Both of his parents were <st1:country-region>U. S.</st1:country-region>
citizens. Likewise, when John McCain was a candidate, the issue of his birth in
<st1:country-region>Panama</st1:country-region> was
briefly debated. Both of McCain’s parents were <st1:country-region>U.
S.</st1:country-region> citizens and his father was on military
service when McCain was born. No serious eligibility question existed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. <b><u>How the Birther
issue arose during Obama’s candidacy<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Since starting in 2004 I have been conducting continuing
international research into Barack Obama’s family history. I was the first
writer, in 2007, to disclose that Obama, like Ted Cruz, had been born with dual
citizenship, a fact that Obama later admitted. My continuing research is
generally credited with creating the Birther movement (please see Group link
[1] below). The opaque facts of Obama’s family history presented several
questions:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A. <u>Was Obama a NBC if his father was never a </u><st1:country-region><st1:place><u>U.
S.</u></st1:place></st1:country-region><u> citizen?<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It is clear Barack Obama, Senior was in the <st1:country-region>United
States</st1:country-region> on a temporary student visa and never
became either a Permanent Resident or Citizen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

B. <u>Was Obama born in </u><st1:country-region><st1:place><u>Kenya</u></st1:place></st1:country-region><u>?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“President Obama likes to tease his critics. Both he and
Michele have referred to <st1:country-region>Kenya</st1:country-region>
as ‘home.’ Many people are obsessed with the belief Obama was born in <st1:country-region>Kenya</st1:country-region>.
I have done extensive research and I have never seen a shred of credible
evidence that Obama was born in <st1:country-region>Kenya</st1:country-region>.
Indeed, it is because of the integrity and impartiality of my scholarly
research, as opposed to my partisan advocacy, that I have irritated Barack and
Michele. I have always adhered to ‘Sergeant Joe Friday’s’ standard of ‘Just the
facts, ma’am.’ Obama was born in <st1:state>Hawai’i</st1:state>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
C. <u>If Obama was born in </u><st1:state><st1:place><u>Hawai’i</u></st1:place></st1:state><u>,
why was/is </u><st1:state><st1:place><u>Hawai’i</u></st1:place></st1:state><u>
hiding his birth certificate?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“In October, 2008 I walked into the courthouse in <st1:city>Honolulu</st1:city>
and filed a lawsuit seeking to open Barack Obama’s original (‘vault’) birth
certificate as a historic document. Obama refused to authorize release of the
document. The filing of my lawsuit can be seen as a formal beginning of the
‘Birther’ movement. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It was clear that Obama was restraining release of his
document. The Hawai’i Department of Health claimed to have reviewed the ‘vault’
copy but the vault copy so far as I am aware has never been made public. In
2012, in response to hectoring from Donald Trump, Obama authorized release of a
facsimile copy of his birth certificate. The vault copy remains sealed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(What is a vault copy? In the era of pen-and-ink and
typewriter birth certificates, original records were maintained in ‘books’ in a
‘vault’ maintained by a city or county clerk. Today birth records have been
computerized, and no ‘vault’ exists for current births. But the historic
‘vault’ certificates for persons born before computerization, such as President
Obama, are still maintained as official records. Obama has never disclosed his
vault copy. I continue to maintain that Obama’s vault copy is a historic
document and should be released to the public.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
D. <u>What was Obama’s religion, if any, at birth?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have been criticized for spreading the ‘rumor’ that
Barack Obama was born a Muslim. It is not in dispute that Obama’s putative
father was a Muslim. Therefore, under Islamic law, Obama was automatically a
Muslim at birth. Under Islamic law, a child takes the religion of the father. I
never spread any false rumor. I merely applied Islamic law to the child of a
Muslin father. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Although Obama claims to be a Christian, under the rules of
his religious denomination in <st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>,
the United Church of Christ, Obama would have to be baptized. Obama has refused
to release any baptismal records from <st1:place><st1:placename>Trinity</st1:placename>
<st1:placename>United</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Church</st1:placetype></st1:place>.
When he officially became a Christian, if ever, remains in doubt.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(The foregoing remarks are a shortened version of more
detailed and conflicted religious history for President Obama.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
E. <u>Was Barack Obama, Senior really President Obama’s
father?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I arrived in <st1:city>Honolulu</st1:city>
in the fall of 2008 and began doing field research into Obama’s family history.
My research led me to conclude that Frank Marshall Davis, not Barack Obama, was
President Obama’s biological father and that <st1:city>Davis</st1:city>
had arranged for Obama to ‘front’ as a stand-in parent. I announced that fact
in <st1:city>Honolulu</st1:city> in October, 2008 and
shortly thereafter Obama interrupted his campaign and flew to <st1:city>Honolulu</st1:city>.
Others have since used my research to follow up on the ‘<st1:city>Davis</st1:city>
connection’ and many conservatives now believe that my theory was and is
correct. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I believe, but cannot prove, that <st1:city>Davis</st1:city>
was the biological parent and Obama was merely a front for the already-married <st1:city>Davis</st1:city>,
which explains why Obama never showed much parental attachment to his ‘son.’ Of
course, there was/is a twist to my theory. If <st1:city>Davis</st1:city>
was the president’s father then President Obama was indisputably a NBC.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“In 2012 Donald Trump tried to revive the Birther issue by
demanding that Obama produce his birth certificate. Obama produced some form of
copy, but in so far as I am aware only a handful of people have seen the actual
1961 document, the so-called ‘vault’ copy of the birth certificate. Trump
claimed he had sent ‘investigators’ to <st1:state>Hawai’i</st1:state>
and ‘you would not believe what they are finding.’ Trump’s claims were bald-faced
lies and he has never produced either investigators or evidence to document his
claims.</div>

remarks about Ted Cruz’ citizenship<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Earlier this month Trump claimed the Washington Post had
‘asked’ him about Cruz’ eligibility as a NBC. The NBC question has been
circling Cruz for years. Last year I was asked to lead a constitutional
challenge to Cruz’ eligibility. I declined to do so. Nevertheless, the convoluted
facts concerning Cruz’ birth in <st1:country-region>Canada</st1:country-region>
provide a legitimate basis to question his eligibility. Cruz’ claims that the
NBC issue has been litigated and decided is also a bald-faced lie. <st1:street>No
Court</st1:street> so far as I am aware has ever addressed an
NBC challenge to a presidential candidate (caution: my research spawned a
literal flotilla of litigation in 2008 and thereafter; it is possible the issue
was raised and I am unaware of the case).</div>

Grayson’s threat to file a lawsuit against Cruz</u></b><u><o:p></o:p></u></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In November Rep. Alan Grayson threatened to sue Ted Cruz if
he won the nomination. Grayson repeated that threat this week (please see Group
link [2] below). Grayson would have a difficult time establishing legal
‘standing’ to file his lawsuit. There are persons who would have standing to
sue Cruz, but I will save those comments and constitutional analysis for
another day.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. <b><u>Bottom line</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Cruz is incorrect when he says the issue of the distinction
between NBC in the Constitution and ‘citizenship’ in the Fourteenth Amendment
has been resolved. The Framers knew why they used the specific term NBC for
presidents and the general term ‘citizen’ for other federal offices. The
distinction was not inadvertent. Whether a court today would enforce the
Framers’ original intent, or merely slide into adoption of the contemporary ‘citizenship’
standard, remains to be seen when a proper lawsuit is filed,” Andy says. “I
don’t think a judge can be found who will apply the’ original intent of the
Founders.’”</div>

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a telephone
news conference today, Sunday, December 20th to announce that he will air radio
and TV ads reminding <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
voters of Jeb Bush family “skeletons.” Andy and Jeb have known each other for
over 25 years. The two men have been political antagonists for decades. Andy’s
opposition to Jeb is credited in having made the difference in defeating Jeb
during Jeb’s first (1994) gubernatorial campaign. Andy’s controversial TV ad on
WMUR in 1999-2000 accusing George W. Bush of wanting to start a war with <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
helped defeat Jeb’s brother in the 2000 <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
presidential primary. Andy is known as a master of highly effective and
completely factual negative ads. “As long as Jeb Bush is a candidate I will be
working overtime to defeat him,” Andy says. “The Bush Brothers have been bad
for <st1:country-region>America</st1:country-region>.”
Andy says Jeb’s latest smear campaign against Donald Trump is an act of “dying
desperation” by Jeb’s campaign.</div>

(</b><st1:date day="20" month="12" year="2015"><b>December 20, 2015</b></st1:date><b>)</b> Calling
Jeb Bush the “ultimate ‘affluenza’ candidate” GOP presidential candidate Andy
Martin will hold a telephone news conference today, December 20th to announce
he will air radio and TV ads during the <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
presidential primary reminding voters of Jeb’s family “skeletons.” Andy is nationally
known as a master of negative radio and TV advertising and campaign research.
Andy’s 1999 TV ad on WMUR is credited with helping defeat Jeb’s brother George
W. Bush in the 2000 <st1:state>New Hampshire</st1:state>
primary. Andy promises to “take down Jeb Bush’s campaign in <st1:state>New
Hampshire</st1:state>.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have been familiar with the Bush family for over
fifty-five years,” Andy says. “I visited Jeb Bush’s grandfather’s senate
office. I met Jeb himself over twenty-five years ago. In the early 1990’s my
investigations into Jeb’s money-making schemes helped undermine and ultimately
defeat Jeb when he first ran for governor in 1994. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Jeb has never held a legitimate job. He is the ultimate
‘affluenza’ candidate, someone whose family connections have greased the skids
for him to become a multi-millionaire with an overweening sense of arrogance and
entitlement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Although Jeb has fooled people into believing he was an
effective governor, in reality he was merely a front man for corrupt
politicians in <st1:state>Florida</st1:state>; they
profiteered while Jeb threw ‘conservative chum’ to the Republican base.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I announced months ago that I would be attacking Jeb and
the time has come to deliver. Very candidly, I have been amazed by Jeb’s latest
maneuver, apparently deciding to base his entire campaign on negative attacks
against Donald Trump. I am neither for nor against Trump, but it is clear Jeb’s
original reasons for running have now evaporated. His campaign is morally and
politically bankrupt. His ‘affluenza’ has turned into influenza.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is unusual about the negative ads I produce is that
they are not based on sliming an opponent with lies and distortions. On the
contrary they are based entirely on telling the truth about an opponent. In 1999
I produced a spot at WMUR that said George W. Bush would start a war with <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>.
That wasn’t ‘politics;’ it was prophesy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“In 2014 I retaliated against the corrupt leadership of the
New Hampshire Republican Party by leading the media opposition to Scott Brown
and by exposing Brown’s phoniness as a candidate. My ads rallied the
conservative base to desert Brown and cost him a senate seat. Today Brown is
repairing bicycles and selling vitamins on the Internet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I will have a lot to say about Jeb, who is the biggest
phony in politics today. I’ve got decades of negative research files on Jeb, as
well as my own insider information about Jeb’s skeletons. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And I have developed my own distribution channels so I
don’t have to rely entirely on the mainstream media to carry my message. Am I
effective? Just ask Barry Obama or Chris Hayes of MSNBC. Everything I wrote
about Obama in 2005 turned out to be fair and accurate. My 2007 psychological
analysis of Obama also turned out to be prophetic. Single-handedly I wasn’t
able to defeat Obama, but I cost him millions of votes. A decade later, Obama
is still burdened by the aftermath of my original research and writing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Now it is Jeb Bush’s turn. The start of the truth-telling
is only days away. George W. Bush said Friday that Jeb is now winning? George
is as delusional today as he was when he invaded <st1:country-region>Iraq</st1:country-region>
(please see links below).”</div>

sleek little stories that fit into larger political narratives…” Another says,
“The only American journalists that are ‘standing UP’ [to Obama] are, Andy
