ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THURSDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK

Obama author and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says his new film offers fresh insights into the character of Barack Obama

Martin produced his short film entirely on location in Hawai’i earlier this year

Martin prepares to return to Illinois, for D-Day on December 28th, when he launches his broadcast advertising campaign

(NEW YORK)(December 22, 2009) Republican U. S. Senate candidate and insurgent “Internet Powerhouse” Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference Thursday, December 24th to release his new film, “Obama: The Hawai’i Years.”

“I’m not sure if Mr. Obama considers my Christmas Eve release the equivalent of playing Santa Claus but, once again, Mr. Obama’s schedules and mine have aligned in a coincidental way.

“Last year after I headed for Honolulu to interview his grandmother, he suddenly appeared in Honolulu, also to visit his long-neglected grandmother. Coincidence?

“The Governor’s office in Hawai’i was pelted with faxes and e-mails from people who thought Obama was responding to my presence (I had no role in initiating any of those e-mails or faxes).

“My new short film, produced on location in Hawai’i, was supposed to have been released months ago. Due to my senate campaign and other delays the film is only being released now, on Christmas Eve before I return to Chicago. And the movie is being released just as Obama himself returns to Hawai’i.

“Once again, my ‘world view’ and Obama’s actions coincide. I point to Honolulu as the true spiritual home of Barack Obama. Chicago has always been a mere convenience. I doubt that Obama will ever live in Chicago again.

“As though on cue, Mr. Obama is ‘heading home for the holidays,’ to Honolulu, not Chi-town. Once again through ‘mere coincidence’ or unerring accuracy I have cast light on the ‘inner Obama.’

“‘Obama: The Hawai’i Years’ is not an attack on Obama. I always keep the personal and the political clinically separate. Rather, my directorial instincts sought to probe his adult character as an extension of his early life and formative years in Hawai’i.

“Honolulu is not Chicago or New York. Obama is not a New Yorker or a Chicagoan. Rather he has succeeded precisely because he managed to ‘port’ or ‘morph’ his transplanted Hawai’ian character into transient episodes in New York and Chicago. He slipped through the presidential election campaign intact.

“In any event, ‘Obama: the Hawai’i Years’ represents my artistic take on Barack Obama’s inner character and origins in Hawai’i. Whether you love him, as some do, or dislike him as many increasingly do, he managed to catapult himself into the White House.

“I immensely enjoyed producing the film. I am indebted to my many new Hawai’ian friends for their guidance and assistance. They have become my ‘ohana.’ And in my own small way I have become a ‘Kama'aina.’ I am sure I will be back to produce more detailed and elaborate versions of this film.

“My understanding of and analysis of Obama has always been uncannily accurate:

j8zj_Fj3QpY&annotation_id
=annotation_259119&feature=iv

and I think that people who watch my new film will agree that, once again, I have captured the essence of Mr. Obama in my movie.

“Because it is Christmas, and despite Mr. Obama’s suicidal efforts to ‘reform’ health care, I wish him and his family a Merry Christmas,” Martin says.

“D-Day in Illinois politics, is only hours away as we unleash our advertising attacks in the U. S. Senate primary. I have enjoyed a brief respite in New York, writing and doing research for my next Obama book, and next week I return to the cesspools of Illinois politics from whence Mr. Obama arose.

“The ‘war against corruption’ continues. There are no ‘early withdrawals’ or ‘term limits’ in the never-ending battle to rid Illinois politics and both political parties of cronyism and corruption.

“With all due respect, Illinois needs me in the U.S. Senate. I am the only candidate who has shown he can stand up to Barack Obama. I am the only candidate who can put Illinois and the U. S. on the path to greatness again, after Mr. Obama undermines the foundations of our nation.”

Obama conference in New York City opens with pledge by U.S. Senate candidate at the World Trade Center

United States Senate candidate Andy Martin (R-Ill) will open a New York City conference on Barack Obama Friday evening with a dramatic vow to block Barack Obama from suspending the search for Osama bin Laden in 2011. Martin’s conference is being held on the 52nd floor of the Millenium Hilton facing the World Trade Center site. Martin plans to link Obama’s mysterious trip to Pakistan as a college student to Obama’s latest policy changes on Afghanistan/Pakistan.

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin returns to network television with a searing interview by NBC News

Martin will open a New York City conference on Barack Obama with a prayer and a pledge to block any “artificial time limits” on pursuing Osama bin Laden.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin is interviewed for over 1-1/2 hours by NBC News

Andy says as “America’s Senator” he will never forget the victims of 9/11, never forget the families of 9/11 and never abandon the search to find and kill Osama bin Laden

Martin plans to open the National Conference with a dramatic prayer overlooking the World Trade Center, and a pledge to bar Obama from abandoning the search for bin Laden in 2011

(NEW YORK)(December 18, 2009) Illinois U. S. Senate candidate and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin returned to network television Thursday with a searching interview by NBC News. “I could not believe they asked questions for over 1-1/2 hours,” Martin said. “I don’t know how much they will use in their broadcast. But they were very prepared. There was a dark room with bright lights. It was ‘Mike Wallace noir.’ They kept asking questions for over 1-1/2 hours with no break.

“We answered all of them.

“Only a few days ago a New York Times magazine writer suggested my forty-year career as a broadcaster and reformer/crusader against political corruption was over. I guess the Times was wrong, again. There are not many people on the national media stage with the experience and guts to stand up to and challenge Barack Obama. I am one of them.

“Friday we open a two-day conference in New York City on the ‘Mysterious Mr. Obama.’ We will be conducting the historic National Conference at the World Trade Center from a suite on the 52nd floor of the Millenium Hilton overlooking Ground Zero.

“And we will begin the conference with a dramatic reaffirmation of my commitment to the victims of 9/11, their families and my pledge to the American people.

“As a U. S. Senator I will obviously and diligently attend to my duties to serve the daily needs of Illinois citizens. But as ‘America’s Senator,’ I will never ever allow Barack Obama to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan/Pakistan until we capture Osama bin Laden and his associates.

“There is no substitute for victory.

“Barack Obama’s defeatist strategy is to set arbitrary time limits on our participation in the search for bin Laden. Obama’s approach is an outrageous manipulation and capitulation to terrorism abroad and liberalism here at home. As United States Senator I will fight to keep the CIA and U. S. Army in Afghanistan and Pakistan until we capture bin Laden and destroy her terror network. I will not allow Obama to impose arbitrary limits on pursuit of bin Laden in Afghanistan/Pakistan.

“Interestingly, our conference was scheduled before Obama’s ‘capitulation’ speech at West Point, in which he promised to start withdrawing the U. S. military from Afghanistan before the start of the 2012 Democratic Party primary election season in the summer of 2011.

“Obama traveled to Pakistan as a young student. He says his family was poor. He does not appear to have had jobs while in college. Where did the money come from for Obama to travel around the world to Pakistan as a college student? Who paid? Obama refuses to answer.

“Obama refuses to release his original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate; he has only issued a laser-printed sheet from a Hawai’i state database. He refuses to release his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records and his Harvard Law School records.

“The documents we are seeking are the original source material of American history. Whether you love or hate Obama, he is now an important figure in American history. Documents related to him and his early life are part of our national archives, especially when, for example, his mysterious trip to Pakistan as a college student could shed light on his latest policy revisions concerning Pakistan and Afghanistan. What is Obama trying to cover up in his past? What happened in Pakistan when he went there as a student, who paid for him to go there, and why was he there at a time of internal upheaval in that nation?

“We will explore those questions and many others at our National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate, beginning December 18th at the New York Millenium Hilton (World Trade Center)

“In 2008, I drew blood from Obama when I exposed his radical plan to undermine America. Everything I predicted then Obama is doing now:

“Our National Conference will explore the ‘Secret Life of Barry (Barack) Obama, who traveled to Pakistan as a college student while claiming to be impoverished,” Martin states. “Now he wants to withdraw American forces from searching for Osama bin Laden in that country. Is there a link?”

Dear Friends:

Welcome to the Second National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate and College Records. Our meeting begins tomorrow in New York City! I am delighted to provide you with this second progress report.

1. Network interviews before the Conference

We have scheduled network interviews to begin Thursday afternoon. More on the network and actual interviews after they are conducted. As with taping of the conference itself, we offer no guarantees or predictions when the interviews will actually be shown.

2. TV network coverage of the Conference

It now appears that one of the major TV networks (see above) will also tape some of the conference proceedings. We have no idea if and when any tape may be broadcast. Just let us know if you don’t want to appear on tape and we will arrange your seating so you don’t appear in the recordings.

3. Videotaping/Internet posting cancellation

Unfortunately, our plan to videotape the conference and post the proceedings on the network is stalled. We did not receive enough financial support to hire a professional videographer to tape the conference, so we have cancelled our reservation for a videographer. If late-in-the-day financial support still arrives, we will see if someone is available to tape. We can’t do more than the budget allows.

4. Conference location

We managed to find an affordable first class hotel in lower Manhattan. You can expect a “wow” location for the conference. We hope to notify conference registrants and media Thursday evening after we have set up.

5. Obama: The Hawai’i Years

I had hoped we could finish editing our Hawai’i movie by early December but we are swamped with work and preparations for the conference. We will definitely show a rough cut of the movie on a laptop at the Conference and finish the film up for New Year’s.

6. Late registration/more information about the conference

Information on how to register, etc. is posted on our Conference blog:
www.nationalconferenceonobama.blogspot.com

Please remember to bring a photo ID. Security is tight in New York and at the hotel. We also have security procedures in effect.

7. My thanks to everyone (letters of thanks to follow)

I want to thank everyone who has contributed both personal effort and financial support. We expect to have a spectacularly successful conference.

May I take this opportunity to once again wish everyone a Merry Christmas or, if you are not a Christian, a very happy holiday season. Joy to all.

Faithfully,

ANDY MARTIN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Sarah Palin joins Andy Martin in Obama birth certificate quest

U.S. Senate candidate Andy Martin prepares to host the Second Annual Conference on Barack Obama’s missing birth certificate, in New York December 18-19. Mainstream media continue to lie to the American people about Barack Obama’s “original” birth certificate.

Sarah Palin joins the call for Obama to release his original Hawai’i birth certificate

Huffington Post, Politico, Ben Smith, Jed Lewison continue to lie to the American people

Sarah Palin and Andy Martin are not “birthers”

National conference set for New York City December 18-19

(NEW YORK)(December 4, 2009) Timing is everything. Earlier this week we formally announced the Second National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate and school records. As if on cue, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin endorsed our view that Obama should release his original birth certificate: http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002387/

Predictably, the mainstream media have launched attacks on Palin, using their same old lies about Barack Obama.

Ben Smith and Jed Lewison of Huffington Post (and Politico.com?) falsely claim that “FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate.” That is a bald-faced lie:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
2009/12/03/palin-goes-birther-
obama_n_379634.html

FACT: Obama’s ORIGINAL Hawai’i birth certificate has never been seen by FactCheck.Org or anyone else except possibly Dr. Chiyome Fukino of the State of Hawai’i Health Department. What Smith, Lewison and FactCheck.org saw is a laser print-out of information contained in a computer database. Nothing more. Why do these “journalists” keep lying to the public and claiming a print-out is a “copy?” Why? Whose cause are they really serving with their lies?

FACT: Neither Sarah Palin nor I are “birthers.” “Birther" is a term that the bogus media have invented to disparage persons who make legitimate inquiries about Obama’s origins in Hawai'i.

I have conducted on the scene scholarly research about Obama’s roots in Hawai’i. Our new movie could be released as early as next week: “Obama: The Hawai’i Years.”

What I have asked Hawai’i officials to do is produce their original “ribbon” copy of Obama’s 1961 birth certificate. (For those of you not old enough to know what a “ribbon copy” is, ancient devices known as "typewriters" used “ribbons” to make impressions on paper. Cormac McCarthy’s original 1963 typewriter is about to be auctioned as an antique. The original copy of a document, i.e. the one which the typewriter ribbon actually touched, was known as the “ribbon copy.”)

Hawai’i officials have never released Obama’s ribbon copy of his birth certificate, despite many demands, lawsuits, etc. I am continuing my litigation for access. Because I am currently a candidate for U. S. Senator [www.AndyforUSSenator.com], I was unable to actively pursue the litigation in August-November, but we are gearing up to go back to Hawai’i to pry loose the original, 1961 document once funds are available.

FactCheck.org does not claim that the bogus “original” they saw is in fact the 1961 document, or that their “document” is a photocopy of the original typewritten 1961 piece of paper. On its face the document purports to be nothing more than a database printout. Is this print-out a “legal” document? Yes, it is. But it is not a copy of Obama’s original birth record.

What is the significance of the missing document? The laser-printed output contains significantly less birth information than the original typewritten 1961 certificate.

So where do Sarah Palin and I on the one hand, and “birthers” differ? I have never stated that Obama was born anywhere but Hawai’i; nor, to the best of my knowledge has Governor Palin. We just want to review the original 1961 Hawai'i document to see what information Obama has concealed. It is a perfectly reasonable request to examine the original document because, love him or hate him, Obama is a figure in American history and his original birth document is a historical archive.

“Birthers,” on the other hand, have proffered wild claims that Obama was born in Kenya, or elsewhere. I have looked into these accusations and found no evidence to support them. No one has ever produced any credible or legally admissible evidence to sustain these claims. Bogus media, however like to clump everyone who wants access to Obama’s Hawai’i records as a “birther,” so they can tar and feather us with the antics of kooks such as Orly Taitz, Phil Berg and similar bunkum artists.

There is absolutely no connection between demands that Obama authorize release of what he claims is his original 1961 document and the entirely separate “birther” movement.

QUESTION: If Obama has nothing to hide, why is he still hiding the 1961 original? All he has to do is call Fukino and say “release it.”

Finally, I am gratified that both in her bestselling book and in her comments this week, Governor Palin has endorsed my efforts in 2008 to lay the unpleasant truths about Barack Obama before the American people:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=
j8zj_Fj3QpY&annotation_id
=annotation_259119&feature=iv

After taking advantage of my expertise, Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch attacked me without any basis to do so, in a mendacious attempt to grovel before Obama & Co. Murdoch has never apologized for his malignant behavior. But I have been vindicated by history.

My Fox news comments clearly predicted where Obama would lead this nation, and my appearance on Hannity's America became the single-most controversial TV moment in the entire 2008 presidential campaign, precisely because I “connected the dots" about Obama for a national TV audience.

Due to a seasonal lull in politics, on December 17th I will be heading to New York to prepare for the National Conference on Obama December 18-19th. Please go to our blog to register:

Thank you Governor Palin for once again speaking truth to power.
