Ted Cruz Birther Summit draws attention in New Hampshire radio interview; questions raised about Cruz’ constitutional eligibility to be president

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin was interviewed by Ben Sarro on WNTK-AM-FM Friday morning. Depending on travel arrangements Andy will hold a New York news conference today, Friday, January 15th (or Saturday) to announce he has been asked to serve as a named plaintiff in a lawsuit testing the constitutional eligibility of Senator Ted Cruz. “Ted is wrong when he says only liberal Democrats have concerns about his eligibility,” Andy says. “Frankly, based on what I have seen, Republicans more than Democrats are the ones worried about Cruz’ eligibility. I have not said ‘yes’ to the lawsuit because I am not sure my campaign can stand the financial stress, but I am taking a serious look at being the named plaintiff in a test case involving Cruz.”

Details on the time and location of the New York news conference to follow.


Andy will convene a “Birther Summit” on Ted Cruz’ eligibility to be a presidential candidate in Washington, DC on January 29-31. Please email to request details.

Re: Presidential eligibility

Dear Ted:

1. My background investigating Barack Hussein Obama

A couple of months ago someone emailed me and asked me to lead the charge to challenge your eligibility to be a presidential candidate. I declined the invitation. But in light of recent events I have reviewed the matter and have decided to convene a “Ted Cruz Birther Summit” in Washington, DC on January 29-31. I am writing to ask your cooperation.

Ten (10) years ago I started investigating Barack Hussein Obama and led an international team of researchers. Unlike most candidates, who are managed by handlers and advisers, I actually do my own investigative work. My original research eventually became the basis for the so-called “Birther” movement.

In October, 2008 I filed the first lawsuit to open Obama’s Hawai’i birth certificate to public inspection. Later, others used my research to make claims that were not supportable based on the available evidence. I have never seen any credible or admissible evidence to contradict my conclusion that Obama was born in Hawai’i, although I have propounded a theory (and not a “fact”) that Obama’s parentage may not be that which he claims.

One of the reasons Obama and his posse relentlessly attacked me in 2008 was because I had and continue to have a single-minded focus on searching for the truth and trying to find the facts.

In looking into and researching your constitutional eligibility I will adhere to the same rigorous evidentiary standard, trying to find the facts and searching for the truth. I ask your cooperation and assistance in doing so, in order that the Birther Summit may provide a forum for resolving doubts as to your eligibility.

2. Our shared backgrounds as constitutional litigators

I have been litigating constitutional matters for forty-eight years. My litigation experience is considerably broader than yours, however, because I have been involved in both state-related and ordinary civil litigation. Very often my disclosures have embarrassed and irritated public officials. And sometimes I have created new vistas in the law. For example, when I first contacted state attorneys general two decades ago, many said they had no idea about Microsoft’s state-related antitrust liability. Over time I encouraged AG’s to activate anti-Microsoft units.

I have been attacked by Bill Gates, U. S. Senators and federal judges, among others. I am proud of the enemies I have made over the decades.

I am known for extensive due diligence research before filing a claim.

3. The Ted Cruz Birther Summit and my prior experience

I first met Donald Trump in 1978 or 1979. We were neighbors at Olympic Tower, New York where I approved his residency application to become a tenant. Later I met with the architects who were designing Trump Tower and furnished informal advice; until recently I had a set of the original blueprints for the Tower. I have followed Donald’s colorful career over the decades and occasionally we have intersected. But I always operate independently of anyone and am doing so in this instance.

Nevertheless, I would be less than candid if I did not admit to becoming more interested in the question of your eligibility as Trump laid out a potential litigation scenario for Democratic activists if you were to obtain the presidential nomination.

Litigants do not need to ultimately win a lawsuit to win the point they advocate in court. How’s this for a potential scenario?

You win the nomination. A Democratic Party activist looks for a judicial district where a liberal Democratic judge is likely to hear their case. They file a lawsuit and a judge issues a TRO or OSC directing you to appear in September or October to respond. Such an order could cause chaos for the Republican Party even if the order was ultimately vacated. Although you have litigated “high end” cases I am not aware that you have any ordinary or “street smart” litigation experience. I do, and could create a lawsuit along the lines both I and Trump have sketched out.

In fact, I created such a lawsuit in 2008 and cost Obama millions of votes that he would have otherwise received. Without my Hawai’i litigation and overall “Birther” activity Obama would have swept to an even greater electoral victory. After John McCain’s campaign imploded I became the target of Obama’s attacks on national TV and in the New York Times; his people and Democratic Party leaders recognized I was costing Obama votes. So my speculation on your current situation is neither unreasonable nor irrational. In 2008 I created exactly such a lawsuit along the lines of Trump’s hypothesis.

Sam Stein of Huffington Post once called me a “noted conservative dirty trickster.” I plead guilty to being a “noted conservative” but I have never engaged in dirty tricks in my life. Rather, I adhere to the Sergeant Joe Friday approach: “Just the facts, ma’am.” Actually, when Democrats get confronted with the facts and the truth, they think that is a “dirty trick.”

4. What do I need from you?

Because I am proceeding with an organized and coherent approach I have created a check list to guide my activity. Here is what I would like from you:

A. I believe your dad needs to sit for a deposition (under oath) as to his knowledge about your birth status. Please let me know if he is willing to do so.

B. I need for you to provide a general FOIA waiver for every agency of the federal government. We need to determine how you entered the U. S. in 1974 as I propose to ask for release of your 1974 records.

C. We need any evidence that confirms your birth was reported to U. S. consular officials in 1970.

D. Although I do not believe it is relevant, since no one disputes where your mother was born, I would appreciate a clear copy of your mom’s birth certificate. (Internet copies are blurry.)

E. We need another copy of your own Canadian birth registration. When you were born the birth was registered by Canadian officials. Although you produced a copy of the Edmonton record in 2013 I think we should dig deeper because the Edmonton certificate was based on original information reported from Calgary, presumably a hospital or local agency.

F. We need any and all voting information you or anyone else working with you has as to any voter registration by both of your parents.

G. We need a list of all residence addresses for your family while you lived in Canada.

H. We need a document waiving any privacy rights under Canadian law so we may also directly order a copy of your birth registration document and related material from both Edmonton and Calgary, including hospital records. I assume we need your permission to obtain such documentation, and I am asking for written permission to directly contact Canadian officials and hospital administrators for their cooperation and records.

The foregoing is only a preliminary listing of requests and as we generate leads and information we may ask for more information and documentation.

Obviously, Canadian records in Calgary and U. S. consular records are the best evidence of what was reported to Edmonton at the time of your birth; your willingness to re-release that information and to authorize independent access to Canadian files could expedite a resolution of any questions about your status. Correspondingly, a refusal to do so could very well trigger an adverse inference in the minds of the voting public.

5. Conclusion

I do not support or oppose your candidacy. Although I am not in the “Top Six” presidential candidates, as other candidates drop out I may move into the “Top Ten.” I will keep on campaigning for a Republican Party committed to public integrity until the National Convention. Although I have pledged to support the party’s nominee (including you) I am only actively working to defeat Jeb Bush because I think he is a blight on the political process.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this letter.

The sooner we receive the requested information, documents and access authorization the sooner we can resolve any doubts as to your constitutional eligibility for the office of president.

Sincerely yours,

Andy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Attention, National, Political and daybook/assignment editors

Announcement of telephone news conference Sunday, January 10

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin will convene a three day Ted Cruz “Birther Summit” in Washington, DC January 29-31

Andy created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement twelve years ago, starting in 2004

Andy is a constitutional law expert, and constitutional historian and major litigator who created both the anti-Microsoft and anti-Obama movements

During the 2008 presidential campaign both foes and supporters called Andy the “Internet Powerhouse,” as Chris Hayes of MSNBC and the Washington Post accused Andy of operating a vast, subterranean conservative network

Andy’s Summit will begin by examining the origins of the “Natural Born Citizen” Clause, and trace the constitutional history of the “citizenship” issue that now clouds Cruz’ candidacy, moving on to Cruz’ own documentation for his birth and citizenship

Andy is soliciting financial support for his Summit, as well as information on Cruz’ family history

(Manchester, NH) (January 10, 2016)  GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a telephone news conference today, January 10th to announce he will convene a three-day Ted Cruz “Birther Summit” in Washington, DC January 29-31.

“Sam Stein of the Huffington Post has unfairly accused me of being a ‘noted conservative dirty trickster,’” Andy says. “I plead guilty to being a ‘noted conservative.’ But ‘dirty tricks’ are done anonymously and in secret. I operate in the open, in full public view, and my operations are fact-based and evidence-based. The Birther Summit will adhere to and uphold the same high standards of proof for my investigation into Ted Cruz’ citizenship and presidential eligibility.

“I pursued Barack Obama relentlessly on the facts of his birth, parentage and citizenship. But I walked away from the extremists that used crackpot theories to question Obama’s origins. The reason my attacks on Obama were so devastating and long-lasting in 2008, and have resonated and expanded during his presidency, is because I searched and continue to search for the truth about Obama and presented only credible accusations that could stand up in a court of law.

“This is the third presidential campaign in which my investigative efforts have assumed a major, possibly decisive role.

“I should also point out that while I recently explained the origins of the ‘Natural Born Citizen’ clause in the Constitution, and there is general agreement on those origins, even among liberals (please see link [1] below), there is more to be written and discussed at the Summit.

“I am not supporting or attacking Ted Cruz. He is also a noted constitutional litigator, and he certainly understands that a fair and impartial investigation into his past by an internationally-recognized investigator such as myself will help to dispel the lies, if any there be, and help to establish the truth if there is truth to be found, about his citizenship and family origins.

“I should also point out that in 2008, while I explained the origins of the natural Born Citizen Clause, I also expressed skepticism that any court could be found to apply the ‘original intent’ of the Founders. Judges are reluctant to intervene in election matters, with one notable exception. That is why I believe Alan Grayson’s threat to file a lawsuit against Cruz is exaggerated and unfounded.

“We are soliciting evidence and factual information about Ted Cruz (see below) and we will receive and review all submissions before the Summit. I will also be contacting Ted Cruz and asking him to cooperate with the Summit and to provide detailed family history and documentation.

“The mainstream media and leftist hacks such as Dana Milbank are calling on Americans to ignore the serious constitutional issues and in effect to ‘bury’ the Constitution (please see link [2] below). The Constitution is not a document that can be ignored, or ‘buried,’ or subverted by a transient majority of the population. The Constitution ‘is what it is,’ and its meaning does not depend on a Clintonian definition of ‘is.’ The facts are the facts. We will search for the facts about Cruz, and spread them out in public for everyone to review at the Birther Summit,” Andy says. “We have tentatively reserved hotel space and we are revving up for January 29-31. We are soliciting additional financial support to conduct the meeting.”

Would you like to financially support the Tex Cruz Birther Summit?

We need financial support to conduct the Birther Summit. If you would like to support our investigation and conference please mail checks or money orders payable to “Committee of One Million,” and mail them to P.O. Box 1851 (full address above). We regret that we cannot accept cash donations.

Would you like to provide evidence to or help investigate the factual issues involving Ted Cruz or legal and constitutional issues involving the “natural born citizen” standard of the U. S. Constitution?

Please mail your documents to us at P.O. Box 1851 (full address above), or email materials not exceeding ten pages to our presidential campaign. We will not be able to accept attachments, so documents are best mailed USPS promptly so we may start the review process immediately.

Would you like to attend the Birther Summit?

Please email us your interest if you want to attend the Washington, DC meetings January 29-31. We will have a registration form and identification/verification process in the next few days.
