Andy Martin for U S Senator/New Hampshire

Tuesday, March 24, 2020

New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin tells President Trump that the coronavirus shutdown must end this weekend. Any indefinite extension will crater the economy and preclude a prompt recovery. Trump’s reelection prospects will be dead. Andy says the scientists and medical experts have it all wrong.

President Donald J. Trump

The White House

Washington, DC 20500

Coronavirus disaster and your reelection

Dear Donald:

I always like to remind you that forty years ago I approved your lease to move into the Olympic Tower on Fifth Avenue. Later, you asked me to meet with your architects for Trump Tower, so we go back a long way. Until recently, I had an original set of the blueprints for Trump Tower.

Forty years later, I am again giving you advice.

First, I support everything you have done in terms of the fifteen-day moratorium on movement to fight the coronavirus emergency.

Second, I must advise you that unless you end the moratorium at the end of fifteen days, you are not likely to be reelected. The republic will survive; but your electoral prospects will not.

Eighty million Americans are quarantined. Only a handful need to be in that status. The doctors’ warnings become ever more lurid, while the threat of an actual emergency recedes. America is not Italy. Why don’t the media ever mention Germany, where there have been far fewer deaths?

In this letter I would like to provide a road map for you to understand why you must end the moratorium and reverse course if you are to save the economy and save your own prospects for reelection.

1. There is a reason scientists do not run the world

Doctors and scientists are usually very bright people. But they live in their own medical/laboratory silos. They are asked to treat disease, not provide practical solutions for the fate of 330 million Americans. The American people elected you, not doctors and scientists, to make life and death decisions about our nation. You have a great science team and I do not have a bad word to say about any of them. But they are not charged with saving the nation, you are. Doctors and scientists have manifested a narrow focus on the disease, and not focused on the economic disease of shutting down the nation’s economy. Their perspective is much too narrow.

2. The economy is much worse than you realize

I am sure you have seen the same numbers I have. The economy is disintegrating much faster than anyone anticipated. In a couple of weeks there will be little left to save. People who live week to week live week to week. Even prosperous middle-class families have few reserves. Burdening the economy with trillions in “stimulus” will only stifle the recovery. The sooner you act, the less damage to the economy, the better the prospect of an expedited recovery.

3. There is no such thing as a “V” recovery right now

There have, of course, been quick recoveries from some recessions in our history. But the current recession is not like earlier experiences. Advisers who tell you that workers who have been devastated economically are just going to turn on and start spending in June or July are, frankly, nuts. There will be no V-style recovery if you allow the shutdown to persist beyond the 15-day cutoff. A two trillion-dollar stimulus law will be a drop in the bucket by the time the relief actually reaches workers and businesses.

4. Sensible public health measures can still continue

Even as you direct that life resume (but no federal aid to states and cities that refuse to resume operations) sensible measures can be continued. People should still wash their hands. Avoid crowds when possible, etc. But, ultimately, most people are healthy and are going to remain healthy.

5. You must act like Rudy Giuliani did, on 9/12, not 9/11

You and I were both in New York on 9/11. We saw the collapse in public confidence. Rudy Giuliani did a masterly job on 9/11 by holding the city together. But his greatest work came the next day, 9/12. I have often said that if Mayor Dinkins had been in charge, New York would still be wallowing in 9/11 remorse.

Giuliani, on the other hand, realized that to save the city he had to order an immediate restart. He ordered city government to resume operations. The subways started running, city services were opened. Restarting after 9/11 was difficult for a few days but the city survived because Giuliani forced it to revive.

Today, some of your advisors want you to believe that you can destroy the economy and it will simply “restart” on command some time in the summer. That is not happening. A few days of disintegration can be recovered; weeks of decay and financial collapse will not be undone with the flick of a switch.

6. Like a quarterback, you must throw the ball ahead, not behind

You need to be a risk taker as never before. Like a quarterback, what you do this Friday will have to anticipate where the disease and public health measures will be next week and beyond, not where they are today. If you wait for the doctors and scientists to sound the “all clear,” the economy will be dead and it will take years to revive, not days or weeks.

The medical establishment is rushing to create new cures and new ways to care for patients. Those efforts are proceeding exponentially. By anticipating those efforts will be successful you, as the quarterback, need to throw the ball forward so that the public can receive the benefits early, not late.

7. Think like an economist, not a scientist

Some media, and even you, have tossed around “war” analogies. But war analogies all point to the opposite approach. In war, you take risks with lives to ultimately save lives. A few weeks ago, we celebrated the 75^th anniversary of the landing on Iwo Jima. The Navy knew there would be casualties. But no one knew how many. Tens of thousands of Marines were killed or wounded. The losses were horrific. Should we have stopped the war because of those loses? Of course not.

Should we destroy the economy to save a few thousand lives? I would say “no.” We need to risk lives to save the economy. (Texas Lt. Gov. Patrick has a similar approach.) You remember during the Viet-Nam War when an officer said “We had to destroy the village of Ben Tré to save it.” Are you going to be the president who destroys our economy to save it? I hope not.

An economist would calculate the potential loss of life against the potential ruin to the economy. A few days ago, we heard there were “100,000 cases in Ohio.” Where are they? There have been wildly exaggerated estimates of death and injury by politicians and scientists. The actual loss of life has been minimal. You can safely risk a few lives to save the nation. That is what a war president would do.

8. Politics

If you wait until the public health crisis is over to sound an “all clear” for the economy, your presidency will be over and your reelection prospects will be dead. All the Democrats have to do is sit on the sidelines and sabotage you, and then allow their media sycophants to claim the Democrats, not you, won the inevitable victory.

If you have brass cohones, I would pull the relief bills from the congress and save taxpayers trillions of dollars. We are only proposing to spend trillions because we anticipate a self-inflicted injury on the economy. If you jump-start the economy this weekend and order people and events to reopen, the long-term injury will be minimal and you won’t need anywhere as much stimulus.

You could save a minimum of a trillion dollars in unnecessary spending and taxation. Most people can survive the 15-day shutdown, small business and large companies alike. They will grit their teeth, struggle and restart their businesses next Monday. No one has to be ordered to restart or resume. Most people will want to assume the declining health risk to save their lives and their businesses. The need for massive stimulus will be minimized. The medical risk will be manageable.

By a symbolic leader. Reserve a table at The Palm for Monday night. Go out to a fast food place (no delivery to the White House!). Fly on an airline. It will create a world of confidence. That’s what real wartime president do. Be visible, not hidden in the WH. The Gipper knew what to do, how to rally public opinion. You have a template.

If you wait another couple of weeks to reopen the economy, the economy will be dead and claims of a “V” recession will prove illusory, at least for your reelection prospects. The “man who destroyed our economy” will be the Democrats’ new President Herbert Hoover.

I want you reelected.

Be bold. Be brave. Reopen the economy. Full speed ahead is the only way to save America. And save your presidency.

Sincerely,

Andy

P.S. Some good news on the anti-malaria pill you are pushing into widespread testing and distribution to care for coronavirus patients. I went to Viet-Nam several times (www.AndyMartin.com). Soldiers were routinely given the anti-malaria drug. It was called the “shit pill” for obvious reasons. Hundreds of thousands of veterans can attest it is safe. (Because I was a civilian, I was not compelled to take the pill; I didn’t.) Today’s pill is a variation on the Viet-Nam era drug.

New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Donald Bolduc’s claim that the civil War was fought because of “gridlock” disqualifies Bolduc from being a serious Senate candidate

A wacko general running for the U. S. Senate in New Hampshire says the Civil War was fought because of “gridlock” and “not being a partnered team.” GOP U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Don Bolduc is mentally unqualified to be a U. S. Senate candidate and Bolduc’s senate candidacy is merely a fishing expedition for political consultants to cash in from suckers who donate to Bolduc. Bolduc must withdraw as a candidate to avoid further embarrassment, Martin says. The existence of the Bolduc “Civil War” tape online dooms Bolduc’s candidacy.

Andy Martin exposes the mental and historical incompetence of retired General Don Bolduc

The online Bolduc “Civil War” tape dooms Bolduc’s candidacy.

Andy says that Bolduc’s claims that the Civil War was fought because of “gridlock” and “not being a partnered team” is absolute nonsense and an insult to memory of New Hampshire veterans who fought and died in the Civil War

Andy says Bolduc must withdraw as a candidate because he is an embarrassment to the New Hampshire Republican Party and Democrats will humiliate and defeat Bolduc with his own ignorant remarks on tape

Bolduc’s supporters at St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH are trying to bar Andy from participating in a debate; Andy plans to sue

(MANCHESTER, NH) (March 2, 2020) --- New Hampshire Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says that “in every election cycle, some candidate makes outrageously ignorant remarks and sinks his or her candidacy. Remember the senate candidate who said women could not get pregnant from rape? In 2020, Donald Bolduc is mentally unfit for a U. S. Senate campaign and should withdraw immediately. Bolduc makes Joe Biden look like a mental giant.”

Andy says that because Bolduc’s wacko “Civil War” remarks were taped and are on the Internet, Bolduc’s candidacy is doomed.

Bolduc told a campaign forum on January 28th that the Civil War between the North and South was fought because of “gridlock” and “not being a partnered team.” A tape of Bolduc’s remarks is available at the link below. Bolduc was apparently being “tracked” by a Democratic Party operative who recorded Bolduc’s wacky remarks and passed the tape on to a liberal publication. New Hampshire Democrats obviously have the tape but incompetent local “Fake News media” (WMUR, Union Leader) are not yet aware of the tape.

“My campaign has a great deal of negative analysis on Bolduc, but we were planning to roll out our attacks later in the primary season as part of a series of exposures of my opponents.

“But an effort by crooked Republicans to attack my candidacy by trying to conduct a rigged debate at St. Anselm college in March convinced me to highlight how incompetent and self-defeating my opponents are. None of them is a serious opponent for the incumbent senator and none of them knows how to conduct a campaign in the glare of national scrutiny and publicity.

“I first encountered Don Bolduc last fall, at a campaign event,” Martin says. “He was jumping around the room as though he were on drugs. It was creepy to watch his ‘performance.’

“I respect Bolduc’s military service. Even more than respect, my own family struggles with the aftermath of war. And I personally have been under “friendly fire” and shot at in wars from the 60’s (Viet-Nam) to the 00’s (Iraq). So I know what Bolduc went through and is going through. But Bolduc’s military service is not a blank check for political office.

“The fact that Bolduc uses a service dog to campaign is a clear sign he most likely could not stand up to the stresses and pressures of a campaign for national office.

“Bolduc has service-related issues that appear to occlude his judgment and competence. Or maybe his Civil War remarks indicate that he’s just plain stupid. But saying that New Hampshire men went south to fight and die in the Civil War because of ‘gridlock’ and there ‘not being a partnered team’ somewhere is the kind of gobbledygook that makes a candidate look like a moron. Bolduc appears to be unaware of the issue of slavery and the attack by the rebels on Fort Sumpter. There are no training wheels for U. S. Senate candidates; there is no excuse for wacko remarks, on tape no less.

“The tape of Bolduc’s remarks is a Sword of Damocles pointed straight at the heart of his campaign.

“So why is Bolduc running? Most likely the poor man has been convinced by political consultants that Bolduc is senate material. These consultants are using Bolduc’s name and military career in an attempt to raise large sums of money, most of which will be spent on advertising later in the election cycle and result in millions of dollars in commissions for the consultants. In sum and substance, Bolduc is a dupe of his campaign advisers.

“Recently one of Bolduc’s ‘supporters’ abandoned his campaign and joined a rival campaign, not a good sign.

“Bolduc’s consultants made a big mistake when they tried to corrupt the Young Republicans at St. Anselm’s. We will be filing suit to stop a tax-exempt, religious college from engaging in political skullduggery. I offered the President of St. Anselm’s an opportunity to stop the corruption at his college and he has not responded. So, this week we will be suing the college to stop the misuse of resources.

“I have been involved in New Hampshire politics for over thirty (30) years. I have been an active candidate at the state level for a decade, while seeking to modernize and reform the state party. I have seen the New Hampshire GOP self-destruct every election cycle.

“My own media skills are highly respected both in New Hampshire and nationally.

“In 2018 I exposed and defeated a primary opponent who had a million-dollar war chest. His money turned out to be worthless.

“We are starting early this season, and we will be exposing the latest corruption and abuse in the New Hampshire Republican Party (and St. Anselm’s). Party leaders have obviously not learned any lessons from spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in wasted legal fees over the past decade to undermine my campaigns. I will keep teaching them a lesson in honest politics and good government.

New Hampshire GOP party leaders have lost every congressional election over the past decade, except for one Republican race they won and where party leaders promptly attacked and defeated their own congressman (Guinta)! New Hampshire Republicans have an embarrassing record of corruption, incompetence and self-destruction.

“Thus, the sooner Bolduc gets out of the race, the sooner he can continue his recovery,” Andy says. “New Hampshire Republicans cannot treat a candidate who is ignorant of basic Civil War history as a serious candidate for the U. S. Senate. Democrats will savage Bolduc if he wins the primary. Bolduc may be an experienced soldier but he has no experience in political warfare. A military ‘fruit salad’ (chest of medals) does not protect you from being a political fruitcake. Bolduc has no idea what is in stock for him. New Hampshire Democrats play dirty and they play for keeps.

“Mitch McConnell and others who have mistakenly endorsed or encouraged Bolduc are also going to be highly embarrassed. Bolduc is even more past his prime than Joe Biden.”

New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin tells Trump to apologize or be defeated for reelection

In a letter to President Donald J. Trump, New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin warns the president he cannot be reelected unless he apologizes to the American people and reverses course in the Middle East. Martin also warns Trump to stop promoting Corey “Looneydowski” for senator. A Looneydowski nomination would preclude Trump from carrying New Hampshire.

President Donald J. Trump

The White House

Washington, DC 20500

Dear Donald:

I can still remember the day, forty years ago in 1979, when I was sitting in my apartment at Olympic Tower Condominium and the staff brought in a “board package” (application to rent) for a unit at Olympic Tower at 641 Fifth Avenue in New York. The application was from you. I knew who you were; you were already well known in New York. I was a member of the Board of Managers of Olympic Tower and signed off on your application to move in; later the full board ratified my action.

We were never close friends but we were civil to each other and at some point you asked me to meet with your architects who were designing Trump Tower. I was an expert on multi-use high rise buildings. In the 1980’s Spy Magazine said that we were both “litigious New Yorkers.” In the 1990’s I sued you to block the conversion of Mar-A-Lago into a club in Palm Beach. In the “naughts” I was in the background at the church when you married Melania and now in the current decade, I sometimes see you at services on Christmas and Easter Sunday.

I go into some detail as to our past because having known you for forty years, I am inclined to be a supporter. Despite your relentless exaggeration, on the whole you have had a positive impact. I want to support you.

I supported you in 2016 and I was delighted when you were elected. Frankly, I hoped you would become more “presidential,” (you promised some of your excesses would be toned down). You have not.

But it was not until you slandered General Mattis a few days ago that I felt you had gone too far. Too far for me for sure. Every day there is a new avalanche of misinformation.

I have spent the past fifty years in and out of the Middle East. Four generations of my family have served there in some capacity. Unlike you, I know something about the region.

Your latest claim, “We did not promise to protect the Kurds until Kingdom Come,” is literally correct. But then we have no such obligation to other countries either. You are not “bringing our troops home,” and the numbers deployed in the Middle East are increasing. How long are you committed to Iraq? That is likely where you will get similar pressure to withdraw very soon.

Ironically, this letter has been in preparation for ten months, since General (SecDef) Mattis resigned and others also left because of differences over your Syria policy. You just kept digging yourself a deeper hole over the past ten months.

Last weekend, five (5) people were killed in Chicago, almost as many troops as have died in Syria in four years. At Fort Stewart, Georgia, last weekend a tragic training accident cost at least three soldiers their lives, a third of the losses we have endured in Syria in five years. Every time you use military casualties to excuse your surrender in Syria I ask, “Are you going to withdraw from Chicago, which is infinitely more dangerous?” Stop abusing and misusing the sacrifices of your troops to cover for your own cowardice.

We didn’t have a legal obligation to defend the Kurds; we had a moral one. We only lost a handful of soldiers in five years because the Kurds lost over ten thousand fighters. Military people are not paid a lot of money for the dangers they assume. But persons in uniform are bound by the morality of our military history. Politicians are often craven and immoral; they have no scruples, Shifty Schiff for example. But soldiers and Marines are held to a higher standard; that was the first thing I learned as a military cadet. The moral imprimatur of American support for those who fight and die alongside us and for us is a sacred commitment. In more than fifty years overseas I have always depended on local people to protect me and assist me. I would never abandon them.

By refusing to defend the ground we controlled in Syria you casually allowed a Turkish dictator to make a fool of you. We did not go into Syria “for 30 days,” as you repeatedly lie. People who knew realized it could be a decades-long process to defeat ISIS and Islamist extremism.

You allowed Erdogan to tell you he planned to invade a member of the United Nations and attempt to ethnically cleanse thousands of square miles of territory occupied by civilians. Where do you get the authority to “negotiate” the invasion of a member of the United Nations by an Islamist dictator? That’s what even you admit to have done. Disgraceful.

You have dishonored our troops in the field, and you have dishonored your supporters. Please don’t tell me people at your rallies cheer when you say you are “bringing our troops home.” You’re not bringing them home; they are redeploying in the Middle East and you are sending thousands more troops to the region. As a result of your latest disaster, eventually you will have to send more troops to stamp out Islamist extremism. They want to destroy us. (Question: have you asked the Iraqis what they think of your appropriating their nation as a base to fight ISIS in Syria? I am waiting for the backlash.)

Your refusal to stand up to the Turkish dictator Erdogan will stain your presidency forever. You surrendered our loyalties and our national security to an Islamist dictator. In the words of Joseph Welch, “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” In surrendering you gave new life to ISIS terrorists and very possibly doomed your presidency.

As I was writing this letter, there were reports of yet another zig-zag, that you might leave troops in Syria, though not enough to actually enforce our national interests. Everyone, even your opponents, wants to some day bring our troops home. But why not the troops in Japan? Tens of thousands in Europe? Are they also being withdrawn? Instead, you have singled out 2,000 troops, almost a rounding error, to focus on removing them when the prime beneficiaries will be the Turkish dictator, the Russian dictator, the Syrian dictator and ISIS. Do you understand why people doubt your motives? A great nation has commitments and alliances, something you refuse to acknowledge. You are acting like a Brooklyn landlord, not president of the United States.

You will be “remembered for foreign policy,” all right, as you unfortunately predicted. For allowing atrocities to take place, as when prisoners and unarmed civilians were executed by Erdogan’s bloodthirsty stooges. You will be reviled in American history. People around the whole world hear and see your flatulent rhetoric, and they are disgusted. They ridicule you and despise you. Your claim that “America has never been more respected” is delusional. Except for Viet-Nam we have never been more reviled around the world in my lifetime or yours. Your foreign policy has been an embarrassing failure.

People made mistakes during the Viet-Nam era, but they were dealing with the imperfect information of that age. Kissinger betrayed the Kurds, but then the Shah of Iran fell, and we are still paying the price for Kissinger’s duplicity. But no president, until you, has ever cut-and-run from our positions, to the point where Russians showed up last week and found hot coffee on the tables and refrigerators stuffed with food. You surrendered, and thereby dishonored yourself, our national security and the sacred honor of our military. Your days of exploiting the military are at an end.

Your asinine claim “we were caught between two armies” is nonsense. There were “two armies” only because you caused that mess to exist due to your cowardice in the face of the Turk. You’re not fooling anyone who knows anything about military history. Against dictators, you are a coward, plain and simple.

I always thought George W. Bush and Barack Obama would fight it out for “worst president in modern American history.” But you have now become a “contenda” for a three-way race to the bottom. You ridicule Bush for his self-destructive invasion in 2003 (which I opposed). I marched against the Iraq invasion down Fifth Avenue. You were nowhere to be seen. But your Syrian surrender is an even more egregious abandonment of national security and honor than Bush’s and Obama’s. Americans will die in the future because of your cowardice in the face of the Turk and the Russian.

You have accomplished one noteworthy thing: other than Senator Rand Paul, and Tucker Carlson’s Colonel McGregor, you have united the American people against your policy. You’ve heard the expression, “these colors don’t run.” Well, Donald Trump’s colors do run, and he lies about it every day as women and children are slaughtered. You were punked by an Islamist dictator. The whole world saw you for what you are.

So, where are we?

The Trump name, the Trump brand, which you spent a lifetime establishing, is in tatters. By the time you leave the White House, “Trump” will be a dirty word and your business will be endangered.

You have had an administration of extraordinary accomplishments, such as record low unemployment and record economic prosperity. But all of your accomplishments are being drowned out by your relentless blabbering and your surrender in Syria. You have achieved national unity by making yourself a target of national scorn.

Impeachment. I have some good news and bad news. The case against you is garbage. Total and complete exaggeration. But you are impeaching yourself with your incompetent defense and irrational behavior. President Clinton knew how to defend against impeachment, and he won. But your defense is no defense, just a daily stream of nonsense and crazy talk. Rudy Giuliani? I faced off against him across the table in the 1980’s. Unlike General Mattis, Giuliani is grossly overrated.

The actual constitutional foundation for impeaching you is nonsense. You have not committed any high crimes or misdemeanors. But the Democrats want to wound you, and you are allowing them to bleed you, day by day. You give energy to the impeachment by acting as though it is a given. No, it isn’t.

Good cases are lost. And bad cases are won. Every day. You have a good case but are defeating yourself. If you don’t allow your staff to organize a coherent impeachment defense team you will be impeached. Mulvaney laughed when he was asked if you could be convicted and removed. He thought the question was a joke. It is not a joke. I believe you can still avoid being impeached, and I believe you can avoid being convicted and removed. But not with your current approach.

You need to address the nation and apologize. You need to admit to mistakes and you need to promise to do better. With a skillful defense, you could stave off impeachment and conviction. But not with your current calamitous behavior. Nixon saved himself in 1952 with the “Checkers” speech. You need to save yourself with a similar appeal.

You need to stop lying to the American people. No, you did not “capture ISIS.” It was the Kurds who spilled blood, not Trump. I am amazed the media keep accusing you of a “quid quo pro,” when you need an opposite number for a quid pro quo. Consulting among your own team and own government is never a quid pro quo. But, yes, you made mistakes.

When I see you in church on Christmas and Easter, you partake of the Confession of sin. Without a sincere confession to the American people, and a whole new approach to speech and leadership, your presidency is doomed.

Be aware, I am representative of the broader “base.” I supported you when you announced (I delayed my public endorsement because I was attacking Jeb Bush and did not want Bush to use me against you.) So I have been with you since the start. I watch the rallies. They are entertaining, but you cannot win an election with your own base. You are losing ordinary people who find your language and self-delusion offensive. So, cut it. You need a “Come to Jesus” moment. Without genuine genuflection and a sincere apology, you will be defeated and we will enter a national Dark Age of taxation and enslavement by the Democrats. For which you will blamed into eternity.

So, yes, we still need you if you are capable of being a leader. I still can’t figure out if your endless blathering is due to a speech problem or some form of degenerative condition, but you need to stop exaggerating, stop lying and come to ground on your own. People will love you for it.

Because of your many successes, you should be at 70% support among the American people, but you’re not. I watched the 2018 election and said to myself “Doesn’t he realize his crazy behavior is turning off voters, and if the D’s take the House, he will endure extreme suffering?” You didn’t and you are.

Keep your apology approach simple, direct and coherent. A little humor is all right, but not an endless stream of consciousness. You can still recover if you admit error and change course.

I’m also a candidate. So I am responsive to voters as well. I will soon be facing off against your puppy, Corey Looneydowski. There is no way New Hampshire Republicans can elect a polarizing, philandering candidate to the U. S. Senate. Indeed, if Looneydowski runs, he will preclude you from carrying New Hampshire. New Englanders are pretty skeptical. They don’t like over-wrought presentations. And New England has only one GOP federal official. How do we change that? Not by abandoning Syria and encouraging Looneydowski.

I am not writing at length to hurt you. I am writing to encourage you to face reality. I am going to vote for you in 2020. The current crop of D’s doesn’t offer a rational option. But voters sometimes take irrational action when faced with a candidate they don’t like. LBJ won the greatest victory in American history in 1964 (I worked in the 89^th Congress). Four years later, he couldn’t even run for reelection. Political fortunes can change in an instant, or a phone call.

Please, please apologize to the American people, send our troops back to Syria and tell the bloodthirsty Erdogan to take his war criminals out of Syria, which is still an independent country, not subject to invasion by Erdogan. Restore honor to our men and women who today are being pelted with shoes and potatoes because their commander-in-chief is a delusional coward who abandoned them to ISIS.

ISIS is still very much here/there, and if you do not reverse course, ISIS and all the other dictators and bullies around the world will make your life miserable in 2020. They will extract maximum humiliation just when you are most vulnerable during your reelection campaign. Why not listen to people who know more than you do about the Middle East and Asia, and stop pretending you are an expert on everything? You’re not. Stop acting like you’re a confused old man, like Joe Biden.

The IG Report (link below) is chilling. Contrary to your claims, we are going to be in the Middle East for a very long time. Stop saying ISIS is 7,000 miles away. That is delusional. On September 11, 2001, the Middle East was a subway ride away from you and me, as thousands died, mainly because of Saudi Arabian fanatics from a country you are now reinforcing with more troops. Unless you restore order and reverse your bad decisions, Americans will die again and this time you will be blamed. Look at pp. 3-5 of the Report: https://www.stateoig.gov/system/files/q3fy2019_leadig_oir_report.pdf

In closing, I have been hard and harsh, but you deserve it. If you reverse course, you will be reelected. If you continue along the current path, I think there is a strong possibility Senate Republicans will vote to convict and remove you from office as the lesser of two evils (removing a president and starting the 2020 campaign with a clean candidate, versus having you as their doomed leader).

You have the challenge of a lifetime, to change your approach to leadership and to restore integrity and rationality to the processes of your government. Other men in history have risen to the challenge. Change is never easy, but if you fail to change there is almost no hope for you or your legacy.

I wish you the best.

Sincerely,

Andy

Senator Charles Schumer

United States Senate

Washington, DC 20510

with copy to:

Senator Jeanne Shaheen

United States senate

Washington, DC 20510

Re: Your attack on New Hampshire GOP Senate candidates

Dear Senator Schumer:

I suppose it is an honor to be slammed by the biggest publicity hound in Washington – you. I had always considered you sleazy; but after your latest caper, supporting Jeanne Shaheen by attacking me, you are downright greasy. You are a prime example of why most Americans consider New Yorkers obnoxious and untrustworthy. When it comes to the low road you never disappoint.

I have watched Jeanne Shaheen’s steady decline over the past six years (I ran in the 2014 GOP primary to oppose her) but I did not know how desperate the poor thing was until she turned to you for support. You responded by smearing three (3) veterans and making a general ass of yourself in New Hampshire, where New York-style politics is most unwelcome.

I have an honorable discharge from the U. S. Air Force (you can see it on my web site, www.AndyMartin2020.com). Two other candidates are also veterans with significant service. The disrespect you reflect for men who answered the call to service, and have suffered greatly for it, is a disgrace to the Senate.

Now we know who really are.

I came to the Senate as an unpaid intern in 1965, writing a thesis on the conference committee. In 1966 I returned as both a paid intern and paid campaign operative. So, I know the senate up close. You are not fit to shine the shoes of most senators from that era. Your principal claim to fame is that you are the political godfather of disgraced pedophile Congressman Anthony Wiener. What a legacy.

Enough of talking about your disgraceful record.

Let me address the specific concerns you raised about me.

1. “Serial litigant”

Next month I will attend a special dinner for members of my law school class. Even as a law student I became a public interest lawyer, exposing local corruption. Over the decade I have won landmark court victories. My record of successful litigation can be found, in part, at my web site www.AndyMartin.com. For the past fifteen years I have served our men and women in uniform when they called on me for assistance, www.FirstRespondersonline.us.

I won a landmark victory for a U. S. Marine in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (see same link).

I understand you went to law school. I seriously doubt you could find the door to the courthouse, prepare a motion or present a trial. But you slander those, such as me, who have labored mightily and at great personal cost to improve our judiciary. My senator, Paul H. Douglas, was always proud of my efforts. I helped send crooked politicians to federal prison; I only wish you had been one of them.

2. “King of the birthers”

In 2004 I wrote an expose of then senate candidate Barack Obama.

I exposed that Obama was a liar and a fraud, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1189687/posts

Every accusation I made, long before the truth about Obama was generally known, turned out to be substantially true. I was the first independent author to do real research in Hawai’i. I carefully separated my own beliefs from the facts I found. None of my facts were ever impeached.

The media labelled the anti-Obama movement “Birthers.” Initially, the Birther movement focused on my research, which was carefully documented. Later, political hucksters such as yourself (and Hillary Clinton) took my research and distorted it.

My accusations against Obama have stood the test of time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgjQhnDEGSk

Last year Adam Sexton at WMUR-TV, Channel 9, Manchester, falsely accused me on live TV or having accused Obama of being born outside Hawai’i. I corrected Mr. Sexton that I have never made such an accusation. I slammed back at Sexton’s lies, which are routine at his television station. https://www.wmur.com/article/granite-state-debate-martin-answers-question-about-birther-movement/23015892

On the contrary, I did file a lawsuit in Hawai’i to force the release of Obama’s birth certificate, which he steadfastly refused to disclose voluntarily. I filed in Hawai’i because I believed (and have always believed) he was born there. My lawsuit was the opening set in what became efforts to pry loose his original document. So please don’t lie about me, Schumer. It may be hard for you to tell the truth, but at least try. I did not, as you accuse me, “make a hobby of suing… Hawai’i.” And why did Obama fight efforts to secure his birth certificate? What did he think he had to hide? We still don’t know.

3. Is Obama a Muslim?

I will respond to one often-made accusation which for some reason your sliming overlooked. In my original release exposing Obama (link above), I said he could be a Muslim (his father and grandfather and all of his relatives in Kenya were/are Muslims, how was he the odd man out?) and he was probably hiding his past because he might be accused of anti-Semitism. I had intelligence sources not available to the general public and my research turned out to be 100% correct. Well, well, what a surprise.

I knew in 2004 what the nation came to be painfully aware over eight years. Obama has been accused of being the most anti-Semitic president in recent political history, a worthy precursor to Representatives Talib and Omar of today.

I think that Obama is and always was a Muslim sympathizer. Interestingly, he never joined a Christian church in Washington and since being reelected I doubt that he has attended services at any church where he was not the featured guest. Obama’s God, however, was always himself, not the guy/gal up in the heavens. I think reasonable people could disagree about Obama’s religion, but no one could dispute his pro-Muslim sympathies.

President Trump is still cleaning up the mess Obama left behind in Washington.

Conclusion

I knew Jeanne Shaheen was in decline, and increasingly has to be propped up by the Democratic Party machine in New Hampshire. But I didn’t realize she was so enfeebled she needed to import mud merchants such as yourself to attack legitimate candidates in the GOP primary (I will let the other candidates you attacked defend themselves).

I won’t ask for an apology. Having been shot at in Viet-Nam and elsewhere, I have a pretty thick skin.

But I will ask for an apology on behalf of the People of New Hampshire, Democrats, Republicans and Independents. We don’t want your cesspool-style politics in New Hampshire; keep it for yourself in New York.

Sincerely yours,

Andy Martin

Andy Martin will “pause” his U. S. Senate campaign for part of Saturday to enjoy the Newport (NH) Sunflower Festival

Andy, who has been one of the GOP’s “Top Gun” national opposition researchers for decades, says he also loves flowers and gardening

Andy says he allowed his opponents “an extra week of summer;” next week he starts exposing their incompetence and unfitness for office

(MANCHESTER, NH) (September 6, 2019) --- New Hampshire Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will pause his senate campaign Saturday, September 7^th to join the Newport, NH Sunflower Festival (please see link below).

“The Newport Sunflower Festival is a delightful occasion for one and all to enjoy New Hampshire’s rich floral diversity. People who register will try to establish a world record for sunflower arranging.

“It’s the perfect opportunity for all Granite Staters to participate in an activity that always rewards. Ever since I was a small boy, I loved gardening, lawn care and looking after nature.

“I haven’t suddenly become a ‘Mr. Softee’ who is going to give my primary opponents an easy election. They did get a week’s extension of the ‘end of summer’ from Labor Day; but next week we will be ripping away at the incompetent jokers and wannabes who have announced or are thinking about announcing their candidacies because they think they can defeat the Democratic Party in New Hampshire.

“In comparison with the well-oiled Democratic ‘machine,’ the New Hampshire GOP is strictly an amateur hour operation. In the past several election cycles state party leaders have spent more money fighting my candidacy than they have actually disbursed to candidates. I recently wrote to the state chairman; he didn’t respond. I guess we’ll have to get rid of him if he doesn’t know how to pick up a phone or mail a letter. He’s not the first state chairman I have tried to retire.

“Frankly, trying to be a ‘conservative Republican’ in New Hampshire is a depressing task. The organized GOP ‘party’ structure is completely disorganized; ‘conservatives’ are totally irrational and impractical. It is no surprise that Democrats win most of the time.

“And so, back to the flowers. I love New Hampshire’s diversity, our forests, our rivers and beaches. In Newport, there is a chance to enjoy sunflowers, which are prevalent and exceptional in New Hampshire.

“I am the only U. S. Senate candidate in either party who is a member of the N. H. Farm Bureau. My farming experience is managerial, not milking, but I enjoy agricultural life and I will work hard to preserve New Hampshire agriculture.

“My love of flowers is a great respite from the irritations of dealing with loser media in New Hampshire (they are even worse than President Trump’s ‘Fake News’) and the encrusted remains of the old GOP majority which ruled in earlier decades.

“I have only two goals: open and honest primary elections and an open and honest Republican Party structure. Is that too much to ask?

“Truly, by taking half a day off the campaign trial to ‘smell the flowers’ I can relax and enjoy our gorgeous autumn. I expect a very happy experience in Newport and I hope everyone who can will join me. No politics, just flowers,” Andy says. “He’ll be ‘Mr. Sunflower’ for a day.

Corey Lewandowski is toxic to Trump reelection in New Hampshire says U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin

President Donald Trump

The White House

Washington, DC 20500

via WH email client

Dear Donald:

This is the first of what will be a continuing series of letters to you concerning the 2020 presidential campaign and senate campaign in New Hampshire. I strongly supported you in 2016 and I am supporting you in 2020. Having met you over 40 years ago when, as a member of the Board of Managers (directors) at Olympic Tower, I approved your lease application, our paths constantly seem to cross.

1. I am a 2020 U. S. Senate candidate in New Hampshire

My concern is that you may support or endorse Corey Lewandowski during your visit to New Hampshire tomorrow. In my opinion, that would jeopardize your own reelection. The 2020 election is likely to be close. New Hampshire’s four electoral votes could decide the race. You narrowly lost New Hampshire in 2016 and if you play your cards right you would win the state in 2020. But any attempts you make to support Lewandowski’s candidacy could doom your reelection or at least your wining New Hampshire’s electoral votes.

In 2018 I was a candidate for congress in NH’s first district. Lewandowski endorsed my opponent. I demolished Lewandowski’s candidate and exposed him as a sexual predator. Where others before me had failed, I managed to pry loose the “Sanborn papers” which had been closely held by the state of New Hampshire. The state records documented my opponent’s sexual improprieties and doomed his candidacy. Unfortunately, the Fake News media in New Hampshire had forced me into third place, so when I knocked out the first place candidate number two won the primary.

2. Your support of Lewandowski would doom your reelection

prospects in New Hampshire

Primaries are by their very nature contentious. New Hampshire has a history of defeating candidates who received “outside” support. While the Fake News media pretend that I do not exist, I am going to be, once again, the leading factor is seeking to win the nomination by documenting that my primary opponents cannot win the general election. Some candidates are strong in the primary, where they can make strident promises, and weak in general elections. I am the opposite; I have a hard time in the primary but could convince enough people of my independence and integrity to defeat the incumbent, Jeanne Shaheen.

If you back Lewandowski and he wins the primary, those supporters of candidates who feel they were robbed by your outside intervention, who may not be part of the Republican “base” but who are essential for a Republican to win the state, will not support you in the general election. Senator Kelly Ayotte lacked political experience and she was badly advised to meddle in local politics. The result: she was defeated for reelection. So, you have to calculate what will improve your prospects in New Hampshire, not what will diminish them.

3. Lewandowski’s fornication would create problems for you

In the past you have been accused of inappropriate conduct. But the operative words are “in the past.” Almost all the accusations against you went back years and, in some instances, decades. Voters decided to give you a second chance. Mr. Lewandowski is alleged to have corrupted Hope Hicks during the presidential campaign and while you were serving in the White House. So, Lewandowski’s misconduct is recent and that can only agitate memories of the charges against you.

4. What you don’t know about New Hampshire could defeat you

The new GOP state chairman in New Hampshire is a supporter of yours, but his divisive actions against my campaign create doubt he will conduct a fair and impartial primary. While the vast majority of Granite State GOPers back you, there are pockets of vicious opposition. The webmaster for Bedford Republicans and Amherst Republicans (same person) is a virulent anti-Trumper, who retaliated against me for supporting you. A former state chairman, Jennifer Horn, is a malignant presence in the party and committed to your defeat. Because a small number of votes could be critical, you can’t afford to lose a single vote to a Lewandowski backlash.

It may be old fashioned, but I personally feel that Lewandowski’s betrayal of his wife and family reflect an attitude of contempt for integrity and morality and violate New Hampshire values. I don’t think New Hampshire voters will trust him.

Bottom line: supporting or endorsing Lewandowski is toxic to your own reelection.

With personal best wishes,

Andy

Andy Martin says he will raise Corey Lewandowski’s “compulsive fornication” with Hope Hicks as a disqualifying factor if Lewandowski announces a run for the U. S. Senate

Andy says Lewandowski has been a national and local “train wreck” since Corey’s days as a park ranger

“Hope Hicks will be issue #1 if Lewandowski runs for the senate,” Andy says

Andy says Lewandowski’s delusion that other candidates will drop out of the senate primary is just that, “delusional”

Martin has been the GOP’s “Top Gun” national opposition researcher for decades; he’s set to take Corey Lewandowski apart

(MANCHESTER, NH) (August 5, 2019) --- New Hampshire Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester news conference Monday, August 5 to announce he plans to make Corey Lewandowski’s “compulsive fornication” Issue #1 if Lewandowski announces as a candidate for the U. S. Senate. Please see links below for details.

“Ever since he served as a local park ranger, Lewandowski has been a train wreck,” Andy says.

“Lewandowski’s open and notorious fornication with Hope Hicks disqualifies him as a GOP candidate. Republicans have given up any pretense of morality when it comes to fiscal responsibility. I hope they will not surrender basic principles of morality by seriously pretending that Corey Lewandowski is U. S. Senate material.”

Andy has been a Top Gun GOP opposition researcher and campaigner for decades.

In 2018, NH State Senator Andy Sanborn thought he would coast to a congressional nomination. Andy unleashed his opposition research powers and cut a deal with the New Hampshire Attorney General to release secret sex files on Sanborn. Sanborn’s candidacy dissolved in a frenzy of media coverage all triggered by Andy’s digging.

Andy has a notoriously prickly relationship with local Fake News media, who pretend he does not exist (“As I was going up the stair…” The Psychoed) but local reporters do not hesitate to steal his scoops and report them as their own.

In 2004, Andy exposed that Barack Obama’s “autobiography” was a fictionalized version of Obama’s life. Four years later, Andy’s relentless opposition research cost Obama millions of additional voters. Andy’s bestselling book on Obama, a collection of Andy’s columns (see below), triggered national opposition to Obama.

Ironically, other less scrupulous media took Andy’s legitimate research, which supported Obama’s birth in Hawai’i, and created the ‘Birther’ movement. WMUR reporter Adam Sexton, who censors Andy’s campaign activity, went so far as to smear Andy by falsely accusing Andy on live television of having claimed Obama was not born in Hawai’i. “I exposed Adam Sexton’s Fake News,” Andy says. “In 2018 he interviewed every other candidate but me on his show. Instead, Sexton tried to ambush me with bogus claims Fake News-style. I threw Sexton’s lies right back in his face.”

In 2016 Andy exposed that a Republican congressional candidate was a fraud. Both WMUR and the Union Leader both appropriated Andy’s research without crediting him. In one of his more prescient analytical reports, in 1999 Andy aired a commercial on WMUR stating George W. Bush wanted to start a war and invade Iraq. Republicans were outraged by the TV ad; but Andy was spot on, Bush destroyed his presidency with the ill-advised invasion of Iraq.

So, if Lewandowski announces a run for the U. S. Senate, he is certain to run into Andy’s “fornication factor” buzz saw.

“Lewandowski has no hope of being nominated in New Hampshire,” Andy says. “We have targeted our campaign research on Lewandowski and we will have more to say before President Trump arrives in New Hampshire in a few days. Lewandowski could cost Trump the 2020 election if the senate candidate delusion continues. Republican leaders in New Hampshire are dumb. They like to do self-destructive things. And they have an unblemished record of losing to Democrats. Case closed.

“Mr. Lewandowski, Welcome to New Hampshire,” Andy chides.
