Geez. How did I miss
this:Quote:
Corruption-fighting Independent Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will hold a New York City news conference Thursday, October 13th to demand that the United States and European Union immediately “quarantine” the Ukraine until all political prisoners including former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, are freed. Martin has a long history of international human rights activism, most notably in fight to secure the release of imprisoned French journalists who were jailed after the death of Princess Diana.
“President Barack Obama does not like me. For the past seven years I have been a thorn in his side. I am the Republican Party’s most effective anti-Obama attack dog, perhaps Obama’s only consistently effective opponent. The idea that I could be jailed for campaigning against Obama, or criticizing him, is unthinkable. What Yanukovich is trying to bring back is a modern version of the Iron Curtain. I will not allow this to happen.
“It’s 3:00 A.M., and the phone has just rung. Presidential Candidate Andy Martin has answered the call. There is an emergency in the Ukraine. I am asking Obama and Clinton to act, and the EU to act, today. Go.”
Martin returns to Chicago on “home leave” on October 20th, where he will be available to support the Chicago area’s large Ukrainian population and to continue his efforts to free the Ukraine’s imprisoned former prime minister and presidential candidate.
Martin apparently held this "conference" on the street on Third Avenue. I must have missed the tv coverage of it last night.
Oh, and Andy? The bells you hear ringing in your head are not from the telephone. Trust me on that.
