Andy Martin issues an open letter to BP executives and directors
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 (564 reads)


Andy Martin’s “Open letter to BP executives and directors” asks the company to “stand up to Barack Obama.” Martin says Obama’s demand for billions in “crony cash" for Democratic Party interest groups to distribute is nothing more than a step towards dictatorial government and the end of private enterprise. Martin says Obama’s demand for billions in cash is merely an appeasement to trial lawyers and other special interests. Obama wants to destroy BP. BP executives must stand firm and reject BHO’s demands.

 

Martin says Obama is anti-American and anti-British. Martin compares Obama to African leaders who govern as “big men,” not constitutional executives.

 

Finally, Martin says BP has to rebuild and restore public confidence, but it should do so without resort to Obama’s extrajudicial demands.

Thursday, September 16, 2010 


Illinois corruption-fighter Andy Martin says Glenn Beck is selling his credibility and betraying his audience by appearing at Right Nation 2010, which is supposedly a “conservative unity” event but which is in reality a cover for liberal Illinois Republicans to support the senate campaign of extreme liberal Mark Kirk. “Follow the money,” Andy Martin says. “Money placed in the pocket of the Illinois Republican Party will go to support Mark Kirk’s corrupt campaign, and to campaign against, not for conservative voters and conservative values. Why is Glenn Beck supporting such activity? It’s disgraceful.
