FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Andy Martin resumes his New Hampshire statewide march against Northern Pass on Thanksgiving Day



Andy will hold a Manchester news conference, head for Whitefield for a second news conference, and then start marching south on Route 3 towards Twin Mountain, all on Thanksgiving Day



Andy says it is time for Northern Pass opponents to “grow up and stand up,” or “shut up and sit down”



Granite State tough” Andy Martin resumes marching against Northern Pass on a chilly Thanksgiving Day



BULLETIN: Late Wednesday afternoon Andy Martin filed suit in NH Superior Court to expose corruption by NH Governor John Lynch and AG Michael Delaney concerning fraud and corruption involving tens of millions of dollars of the Neil Tillotson Trust and “The Balsams” hotel in Dixville Notch. The lawsuit will probably not be formally entered on the record until Monday or Tuesday due to holiday closings. A more detailed release will follow Friday.



(MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE) (Thanksgiving, November 24, 2011)


Independent Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will hold Manchester and Whitefield news conferences today, Thanksgiving morning at 9:00 A.M., Thursday, in Manchester and at noon in Whitefield, November 24th to announce he is heading to the North Country and dedicating his Thanksgiving Day to resuming his march against the Northern Pass high voltage transmission line. Andy will hold his news conference in Whitefield and then resume his march against Northern Pass.



“Thursday morning Thanksgiving Day I am delighted to announce in Manchester that I am resuming my march against Northern Pass,” Andy says. “I will resume marching at noon at the town green/center in Whitefield (the gazebo) and then march south on Route 3 towards Twin Mountain.



“I am dedicating my holiday to marching against Northern Pass because I strongly and sincerely believe the proposal is bad for New Hampshire, though Northern Pass deal-makers may enrich a handful of power brokers in Manchester, Boston and Hartford. They will also be passing out ‘peanuts’ to New Hampshire landowners.



“I note the same people who promise Northern Pass will be ‘problem free’ could not repair their existing electrical network last month and had to fire their chief executive because of service delays in Connecticut.



“But I also have some ‘tough love’ for local Northern Pass opponents. It is time for local opponents to grow up and stand up, or sit down and shut up. I have seen over the past several months an almost childlike innocence among NP opponents, as though the purity of their motives would automatically triumph over powerful economic interests and lobbyists in Washington. Even ‘Harry Potter’ knows that’s naïve. ‘It ain’t happening.’ The reality: either fight hard against Northern Pass or fry under the high voltage towers.



“Wake up, New Hampshire!



“The ‘big money’ supporting Northern Pass now has a presidential candidate who is going to support Northern Pass (more on this cash conflict in the days ahead). This candidate is drawing massive financial support for his presidential race from Northern Pass interests. Northern Pass also has a gubernatorial candidate operating inside the Northern Pass law firm in Manchester.



Northern Pass opponents have told me they ‘don’t get involved in politics,’ and that they are ‘nonpolitical.’ But billion dollar business projects are totally political undertakings. That’s why President Barack Hussein Nobama temporarily cancelled the Midwestern Keystone XL pipeline, a proposal similar to Northern Pass generating similar controversy. Pure politics.



“To say you are not going to be vigorously involved in the political process is to confess you are forfeiting your position to corporate power brokers who will do whatever it takes to make the deal and cash in, despite the misery they inflict on ordinary Granite State citizens.



“I saw somewhere that someone wants to enlist corrupt Washington lobbyist Newton Gingrich as an opponent of NP. Gingrich will say and do anything to get votes, and he will sucker the gullible with his windbag promises before he puts his hands on his backside to collect clandestine cash and give ‘strategic advice’ to the developers of Northern Pass. That’s the way the crooked influence peddling game is played in Washington, and Gingrich is a master player. He has corralled tens of millions of dollars from special interests to promote their agendas while simultaneously pretending to speak for ordinary folks on the same subjects. Sucker.



“Fighting powerful corporations isn’t easy, isn’t cheap and takes a lot of energy and a lot of hard work and a lot of shoe leather. I know, I have successfully been fighting powerbrokers for decades. And I don’t take cash on the side to give private ‘strategic advice’ to people who are fighting the groups I am supporting in public. I am no Newton Gingrich. If people are dumb enough to fall for the Gingrich spiel and vote for a thief like him, they deserve what they get. A stab in the back.



“If people want to fight Northern Pass, they can rest assured I am not giving strategic advice to NP or its lawyers at the back door the way Gingrich does. I don’t have my hand out behind my back.



“We’ll celebrate ‘Thanksgiving’ along Route 3 as we walk down from Whitefield towards Twin Mountain. We have cold cut turkey, rolls and even a pumpkin pie.



“On this wonderful holiday my heart will be with the people of New Hampshire who would suffer if Northern Pass succeeds. The time to make decisions and take action and stop shadow boxing has arrived. I know where I stand. Where do you stand on fighting Northern Pass? Are you real, or surreal?” Andy will state at his Manchester and Whitefield news conferences.



NOVEMBER 22ND MANCHESTER, NH CONFERENCE DETAILS:



WHO:



Independent Republican Party Presidential Candidate Andy Martin



WHAT:



Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will resume his march against the proposed Northern Pass high voltage transmission line



WHERE:



Hilton Garden Inn, Manchester, NH (Andy Martin suite #213)



WHEN:



Manchester, Thursday, November 24th, 9:00 A.M.



WHITEFIELD NEWS CONFERENCE:



Town Green/Center, gazebo, noon, November 24th (just before Andy resumes his march against Northern Pass)



Note: We usually try to march against the Northern Pass route in sequential segments. We ended our last marching segment in Lancaster. But we believe the road between Lancaster and Whitefield is too difficult to walk on a day when snow may be a factor. We will go back and eventually march from Lancaster to Whitefield when the weather improves. Safety first.

Presidential candidate Andy Martin triggers cartoons by supporters of New England’s largest utility

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin’s “historic” statewide march across New Hampshire has triggered a response from supporters of New England’s largest utility, Northeast Utilities. In a man-bites-dog scenario, supporters of Northeast Utilities’ planned Northern Pass high voltage transmission line have used an internet program to create a cartoon spoofing “Presidential candidate “Mandy Artin” who has an “office in Chicago” and a “summer mansion in New Hampshire.” Martin has been highlighting his opposition to the Northern Pass proposal by marching across the state. Andy has marched further and engaged New Hampshire citizens longer than any presidential candidate in history.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



As Andy Martin walks across the state to protest a high voltage line that would undermine New Hampshire’s economy and quality of life he is drawing increasing attention from the state’s residents



Andy has now drawn a cartoon response from supporters of Northeast Utilities, who say “presidential candidate” “Mandy Artin” has “an office in Chicago” and a “summer mansion in New Hampshire,” and bribes his backers with Cheetos



Dopes Andy Martin (“Mandy Artin”) have a secret “summer mansion in New Hampshire?



(MANCHESTER, NH)(August 29, 2011) While Independent Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin continues his statewide march across New Hampshire to protest Northeast Utilities’ Northern Pass plan, the presidential candidate has drawn a man-bites-dog response from supporters of New England’s largest utility company.



Backers of NU’s Northern Pass have created a series of cartoons spoofing “Presidential candidate Mandy Artin” who has an “office in Chicago” (Andy Martin) and a fictional “summer mansion in New Hampshire.” In a related cartoon, opponents of Northern Pass are bribed with free Cheetos provided by presidential candidate “Andy.” (Links to the YouTube cartoons are found below)



“Well, it looks as thought our opponents have noticed the march against Northern Pass,” Andy quips (while munching Cheetos). “When I learned that Northeast Utilities’ supporters had immortalized my historic march in an Internet cartoon I was left speechless, and reached for a bag of Cheetos.



“In the reciprocal spirit of Northeast Utilities cartoonish Northern Pass scheme I am preparing to offer a $1 million reward for the location of presidential candidate Mandy Artin’s ‘summer mansion in New Hampshire.’ I will even offer the same reward for discovery of Andy Martin’s unknown-to-me ‘summer mansion in New Hampshire.’



“Our security people have observed Northeast Utilities employees conducting surveillance on my march, so PSNH/NU is taking a very serious interest in my activity. I invite them to march alongside me so they can have an even closer view of my tactics.



“Most presidential candidates move from limos to cocktail parties or, in the case of Michele Bachmann, from ‘lockdown’ on her bus to release on a leash to avoid her gaffes. I am the only presidential candidate who can actually walk the highways of the State and meet New Hampshire voters without ‘handlers’ and ‘security guards’ preventing voters from approaching me.



“Some months ago I promised opponents of Northern Pass that when Northeast Utilities realized my presidential campaign was making Northern Pass an issue in the presidential campaign, the utility company and its highly paid lawyers and lobbyists would react.



“My presidential campaign is running TV ads and radio commercials opposing Northern Pass (see TV/radio ads at www.AndyMartinforPresident.com). And in response Northeast Utilities’ supporters are now producing cartoons spoofing me as a dilettante. Looks like NU realizes my presidential campaign is gaining ground while Northern Pass continues to lose ground.”



Martin began his statewide march against Northern Pass in July and to date has marched over fifty miles in opposition to the proposal.

“Balsams” victory confirms Andy Martin’s status as New Hampshire’s “Favorite Son” in the 2012 presidential primary

State Rep Larry Rappaport keynotes anti-Northern pass breakfast Saturday morning







(COLEBROOK, NH)(August 13, 2011) State Representative Larry Rappaport will be the keynote speaker at a Dutch Treat breakfast at Howard’s Restaurant in Colebrook, NH Saturday morning (8/13).







After the breakfast Independent Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will resume his statewide march against Northern Pass, a proposed high voltage transmission line that would cut New Hampshire in half to deliver electricity from Hydro-Quebec.







The breakfast is from 7:30-8:30 A.M; Martin plans to resume walking around 9:00 A.M. at the spot where he left off on Main Street in Colebrook when the first phase of his march ended. He has already walked twenty miles to protest the Northern Pass proposal.







Martin is in the North Country after scoring a surprise victory for local residents: Wednesday August 10th Martin filed an emergency petition with the New Hampshire Supreme Court to block the proposed sale of The Balsams, a historic resort hotel at Dixville Notch. The following day, August 11th, the buyer, Ocean Properties, cancelled the hotel purchase. “Joshua blew his trumpet and the walls of Jericho came tumbling down,” Martin says. “I sounded a trumpet at the New Hampshire Supreme Court and The Balsams sale collapsed.







“In July I promised to fight to ‘Save The Balsams.’ I performed. No other presidential can make a similar performance claim.”







Martin says Tillotson trustees are looking after themselves and not the intended beneficiaries of Neil Tillotson’s will. He plans to seek removal of the trustees. “Why were Governor John Lynch and Attorney General Michael Delaney silent in the face of obvious corruption?” Martin demands. “Ocean Properties promised one course of action to secure regulatory approval and then adopted exactly the opposite approach after obtaining the Attorney General's permission to buy the landmark hotel. Ocean Properties lied to state officials,” says Martin. “That’s the core of my complaint. The integrity of New Hampshire state government was compromised.







“Whose interests is the Governor serving? Was the ‘fix’ in for Ocean Properties? Well, I ‘unfixed’ the dirty dealing and saved the hotel and its hundreds of jobs.







“Obviously the Governor and Attorney General knew the sale could not stand scrutiny by the NH Supreme Court.







“The local response to my surprise victory has been overwhelmingly positive. People have thanked me for saving their jobs in an area of the state that desperately needs to maintain employment.







“I plan to fight with the same ‘energy’ on behalf of opponents of Northern Pass, helping them to defeat a high voltage transmission line that would destroy their property values and devastate their way of life. I am literally ‘walking the walk’ against Northern Pass.







Martin is New Hampshire’s “Favorite Son” candidate in the 2012 presidential primary election. His campaign in the 2012 presidential primary is openly partisan; his efforts on behalf of the people of New Hampshire are completely nonpartisan.







Martin is boycotting the Iowa presidential caucuses because Iowa Republicans do not allow military personnel on active duty to participate in the caucuses from their duty stations. He is preparing to take action to protect the constitutional rights of Iowa men and women in uniform to participate in the caucuses.
