Does the Nashua Telegraph’s Kevin Landrigan smell a “poll rat” in New Hampshire?


A major political scandal may be unfolding in New Hampshire. Are New Hampshire GOP leaders trying to rig a U. S. Senate primary to protect Scott Brown? Does Kevin Landrigan of the Nashua Telegraph suspect someone is “fixing” or manipulating primary “poll” reports? Why is Andy Martin at 11% in some polls and nonexistent in others?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says there may some significance to the fact the Nashua Telegraph’s political writer is raising questions about U.S. Senate primary “polls”

(Manchester, NH) (May 21, 2014) 

Dear Republican:

This is just a quick note with a couple of thoughts.

1. Does Kevin Landrigan smell a poll rat?

First, as you know, Tuesday a twitter post surfaced which suggested there is a poll showing me in a tie (at 11%) for second place after Scott Brown. I honestly don’t have a clue about the Twitter post but I have my suspicions. We are conducting a thorough investigation to document the facts.

Second, again on Tuesday, Kevin Landrigan posted a story about Scott Brown and also mentioned a poll. But this time Landrigan was quick to point out my name was excluded from the poll. Here is an excerpt from his story:

While Shaheen leads Brown 47-35 percent according to the latest Daily Caller’s Vox Populi Polling survey, Brown holds a commanding lead over GOP rivals, former Sen. Bob Smith (13 percent), ex-state Sen. Jim Rubens (9 percent) and Franklin activist Karen Testerman (8 percent).
Andy Martin, of Manchester, wasn’t included in the survey.
Kevin Landrigan can reached at 321-7040 or klandrigan@nashuatelegraph.com. Also, follow Landrigan on Twitter (@Klandrigan).
Landrigan obviously wanted Nashua Telegraph readers to know the poll was limited by the exclusion of a major candidate. When you have one person saying I am at 11% and other “polls” suggesting I do not exist, that is very suspicious.

I want you to know I am working this investigation very carefully. I have my theories and I will be laying out the case piece-by-piece. But we may have a major political scandal and a national embarrassment for New Hampshire Republicans if the evidence shows there is a conspiracy by party leaders to “fix” the senate primary polls so as to damage my candidacy in order to protect Scott Brown.

If you don’t think I am a scrupulous investigator, just ask Barack Obama. I have made his life miserable with all of the previously unknown evidence I turned up about him. At the very minimum, Mr. Landrigan is now suspicious about the numbers being posted by polls in the senate primary. He “telegraphed” his concerns by noting my name had been left out of a survey.

2. I am committed to running an evidence and issue-based campaign

I have been fighting corruption and tangling with crooked politicians and wannabes for fifty years. In all of those years no one has ever questioned the integrity of my accusations or my evidence. That’s why the Chicago Tribune once called me an “absolutely brilliant campaigner.” The Tribune acknowledged I work for the people and no one else. The Trib was not happy I was making the candidate they preferred look bad by comparison.

There are some dirty doings going on in the NH GOP senate primary and I intend to attack, expose and terminate them. That’s the nature of politics.

In the past New Hampshire Republicans have tended to nominate effete candidates who went on to be slaughtered by Democrats. That’s because Democrats are fighters and Republicans are not. Ovide Lamontagne says he was “surprised” by the vehemence of the Democrats’ attacks on him. Surprised?

I may be a conservative and a Republican, but I am a fighter. I fought the Chicago Mafia and helped send crime syndicate hoodlums to federal prison. No one should doubt that I am a fighter. After all, I started out as a football player on a team that bills itself as the "Fighting Illini." (And we did. I scrimmaged against Dick Butkus.)

Be aware that there will no doubt be some blood on the floor as the battle with Jennifer Horn and her cronies continues. She started the fight by attacking me. I didn’t fight back until my campaign was endangered by her dirty tricks. Frankly, I am embarrassed by the small-mindedness and pettiness of some Republican committees that are afraid to confront Horn and went along with her dirty tactics (Seacoast Republican Women, Bedford Republicans and Manchester Republicans are you reading this?).

Horn and Co. are trying to protect Scott Brown from a real primary. What are they afraid of?

I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that I long for the day when I can join battle with my primary opponents over the issues, and our differences on the issues. I have an outstanding track record of leadership and experience to present to all of you. Unfortunately, I am distracted by necessity to fight for fair treatment from my own party. When Jennifer Horn and her dirty tricksters are ready to stop harassing me, I will fight my opponents on the issues. She is the one who is dividing the party, not me. As I have been for fifty years in the public arena, I am only the truth teller. It is time for someone to tell the “empress” she has no clothes.

Loyally,

Andy

P.S. Please do the right thing. Open your mind. Consider voting for me in the primary. You’ll be proud you did.

New Hampshire media bias claim concerning “erased” candidate Andy Martin goes to court October 15th



Accusing the Manchester Union Leader of engaging in “Soviet-style ‘journalism’” by “erasing” his campaign for U. S. Senator, New Hampshire Republican Party leader and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will go to court on Tuesday, October 15th and file suit against various recalcitrant media that are publishing false information about the 2014 campaign. “The communists used to publish photographs and new reports ‘erasing’ people from pictures and stories when they did not want to confirm the existence of the erased people,” Andy says. “Today some New Hampshire media are following in the Soviet-style tradition by erasing my campaign. Love me or hate me, I am in the U. S. Senate race. New Hampshire cannot be a world class state when it is undermined by bush league journalism. If New Hampshire Republicans had a winning streak, maybe people could question my candidacy. But the current approach of New Hampshire Republicans has led to decades of losing elections and decades of party erosion. I have the experience to present a new approach, and to offer a hard-hitting challenge to Jeanne Shaheen. Local media that want to act as ‘Shills for Shaheen’ will be taken to court,” Andy says. “Why does my candidacy strike fear in the heart of John DiStaso and other biased media that are trying to ‘erase’ my campaign?”

DEFAMATION NOTICE: Request for retraction and correction

Dear Mr. Tabor:

On September 25th SeacostOnline.com (and presumably your print edition) published a story containing the false claim referring to my current primary opponent as “the first GOP candidate to announce his run for the U. S. Senate…”

That was a factually incorrect statement. I announced in May, I am a fully legally qualified candidate, and I have been campaigning actively. I hope to begin broadcast advertising later this month.

New Hampshire law contains provisions for “defamation by implication,” which covers incorrect factual claims tending to disparage the true facts. I think your false claim falls squarely within New Hampshire “defamation by implication” case law.

Tuesday, October 15th I will be filing suit against media that have made similar false claims. I am not sure if these errors are due to personal hostility against me, or incompetent media performance. The Union Leader will also be named; in the case of John DiStaso he is merely a mouthpiece for Jeanne Shaheen and he has deliberately and intentionally sought to undermine my candidacy. DiStaso can express his own malignant opinions; but he cannot publish false facts and seek to erase my candidacy from the election. The UL is being untrue to the Loeb tradition.

I can’t tell you how deleterious it is to the credibility of the print media, and media in general, when you try, Soviet-style (they used to erase people from pictures) to erase the existence of a candidate from the election. Whether you approve or disapprove of my candidacy, you can’t simply deny I exist and then deliberately or negligently publish false facts. You do a disservice to your readers when you seek to mislead them.

I have done the legal research. If you want to pay your attorneys to duplicate my research, please have at it.

I have a very distinguished record of public service, and I offer New Hampshire Republicans – who have been losing to Democrats for decades – a new and realistic option to recapture a U. S. Senate seat.

I obviously can’t predict what the court will do, but I have done my due diligence and feel we have a strong case for some relief.

I would respectfully request that you publish a prominent and visible retraction and correction and, if you wish, apology, for reporting false information to your readers. Failing same you will be named a defendant on October 15h.

Please feel free to call or otherwise contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely yours,

ANDY MARTIN
