Deputy Speaker Pam Tucker and Senator Ray White Join to Call on Attorney General to Move forward on Receivership for LGC

Taxpayer-funded group admits illegal corporate structure

CONCORD – House Deputy Speaker Pam Tucker and Senator Ray White today joined to call on Attorney General Michael Delaney to move to bring the Local Government Center (LGC) into court-appointed receivership after the taxpayer-funded group admitted that it illegally incorporated itself as Delaware non-profit limited liability companies in 2003.  A report released last month by the Secretary of State’s Bureau of Securities Regulation outlined a number of irregularities and violations of law by the LGC, which handles public employee and retiree health benefits, liability insurance and other services for local communities.  Tucker is the prime sponsor of legislation to review the LGC in the wake of the highly critical state report.

House Deputy Speaker Pam Tucker:

“The admission that LGC was illegally incorporated is one more example why this troubled entity may need more state involvement.  The LGC was created by state law and the legislature through the years should have done a better job of overseeing pooled risk management groups like this.  While we work to do our oversight responsibility and get to the bottom of what’s going on with this group which takes in a tremendous amount of local property tax dollars, the Attorney General should begin the process of moving to put LGC into receivership to ensure that taxpayer funds are protected.”

Senator Ray White:

“As someone who works in the insurance business, I have a lot of unanswered questions about how the LGC operates and where our tax dollars are going.  When this group came to the Senate Commerce Committee to ask for special protection from investigation and oversight, it sent a clear message to me that the legislature needed to take a deeper look into this group, and the Secretary of State’s report began to peel back the layers and showed exactly why we need reform.  The Attorney General should move quickly to get into court for a receiver for LGC so we can begin to rebuild the public’s trust and make sure that our communities can have confidence that they are getting good value for the hard-earned taxpayer funds that they are spending. The integrity of these insurance pools must be safeguarded for their intended purpose.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION IOWA/NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Concord, New Hampshire news conference Monday, July 11th to renew his request for the removal of NH GOP Chairman Jack Kimball

Later Monday morning will announce “Bunker Buster” steps he is taking relative to the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire’s First Primary

Martin says Kimball’s latest GOP legislative primary fiasco, nominating an anti-Right to Work repeal candidate, should be “enough”

Martin says Kimball’s incompetence undermines New Hampshire’s First-In-The-Nation Primary

Sunday afternoon Andy holds a Hampton Beach “Staycation” walkathon along Hampton Beach; all are welcome

(HAMPTON BEACH, NH)(July 10, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin announced Sunday he will hold two new conferences in Concord Monday. The first news conference at 10:00 A.M. will renew Martin’s request for the removal of New Hampshire Republican Chairman Jack Kimball.

Martin will then make an announcement live on WTPL-FM (WTPLFM.com), followed by a news conference at the State Legislative Office Building, to release a “Bunker Buster” statement involving the Iowa Caucuses.

SUNDAY EVENT:

Andy Martin carries on his New Hampshire “staycation” with a Hampton Beach walkathon. Meet Andy at the intersection of Winnacunnet Road (101 E) and Route 1 A (Ocean Blvd.)(at the ocean sea wall) to “walk and talk.” All are welcome.

MONDAY KIMBALL:

“The fiasco with Kimball losing the Republican Party’s legislative nomination to an anti-Right to Work ‘stealth’ candidate should mandate his removal,” Martin says. [See link below.] “Why are Republican Party leaders afraid to stand up and state the obvious? Kimball has to go. He may be competent at running his mop-and-glo cleaning business; he lacks the managerial chops to handle a political party during the presidential process. Kimball’s buffoonery is undermining NH's First Primary.

“I am appealing directly to New Hampshire Republican primary voters; I am not going to kowtow to party leaders that have placed an incompetent at the helm of the state party,” Martin says. “I am an independent conservative who is also a Republican, not a party stooge that bows down to jokers like Kimball.

“Hit the road, Jack.”

MONDAY WTPL-FM ANNOUNCEMENT/LEGISLATIVE OFFICE BUILDING:

“When I announced for president on December 29th I promised to ‘drive the agenda’ of the 2012 presidential campaign,” Martin says. “I am still in the driver’s seat, as Monday’s will confirm. Fasten your seat belts, Iowa and New Hampshire.” Details to follow Sunday evening.

ALG Launches ReformtheNLRB.com Petition

"Now is the time to reject the job killing NLRB's one-sided attack on our nation's job creators by contacting their elected representatives using the www.reformthenlrb.com petition advocacy tool."—ALG

July 7^th, 2011, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government (ALG) today launched an online petition urging citizen involvement in efforts to reform the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) today. 

The campaign at www.reformthenlrb.com includes informative articles and videos relating to NLRB activities as well as a petition effort supporting reform efforts.

"ReformtheNLRB.com will provide citizens a voice in opposing the NLRB's attempts to bypassing state legislation and push a Big Labor agenda that was rejected in both Congress and in state legislatures across the nation," said ALG President Bill Wilson.

Wilson cited the NLRB's recent actions against Boeing necessitating urgent action by Congress.  Boeing's planned creation of a second assembly line for their new Dreamliner aircraft in South Carolina has been challenged by the NLRB. 

"The NLRB has challenged the private company's right to build aircraft in the Charleston area due to the state's laws which allow workers to choose whether to pay union dues or not," said Wilson.

Wilson continued, "This worker choice, known as right to work, has been a target of labor unions for decades and the recent NLRB actions show that rather than being an independent agency, they have become nothing more than a front for organized labor."

Reform efforts would restrict the NLRB's power, and narrowly define the role that they are able to play in labor management relations.

ALG has urged passage of legislation seeking to protect states that have passed laws that protect their citizens' right to secret ballot elections, the "State Right to Vote Act".  The bill, introduced by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), seeks to ensure that the NLRB cannot bypass the role of state legislation in determining employer's responsibilities.

Wilson called on the American people to sign the petition, saying, "We need the help of everyone to show the NLRB that the American people are tired of their job killing regulatory overreaches and want a change."

"Now is the time to reject the job killing NLRB's one-sided attack on our nation's job creators by contacting their elected representatives using the www.reformthenlrb.com petition advocacy tool," Wilson concluded.

Presidential Candidate Andy Martin demands that Anthony Weiner resign from Congress

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Palm Beach news conference today, Friday, June 3rd as he begins two days of attacks on randy Rep. Anthony Weiner

Martin says Weiner is making a laughingstock of the House of Representatives

Martin says Republican perverts such as Mark Foley and Christopher Lee resigned promptly; why not Weiner?

Martin says Weiner has yet to explain his connection with pornstar Ginger Lee

Andy Martin is one of the Republican Party’s veteran cyberwarriors and has waged a relentless Internet campaign against President Barack Obama’s mysterious origins

(PALM BEACH, FL)(June 3, 2011)  Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Palm Beach, Florida news conference today, June 3rd at 5:30 P.M. to launch two days of attacks on Representative Anthony Weiner. Today Martin calls on Weiner to resign and chides House leader Nancy Pelosi for allowing perverts in the Democratic caucus. Martin has over thirty years of experience investigating and exposing congressional imbroglios going back to the Wayne Hayes sex scandal and even earlier House embarrassments.

“One of the problems with my Republican Party competitors is that they have no track record of investigating, exposing or fighting political corruption in Washington, or anywhere,” says Andy Martin. “They lack the experience and ‘street smarts’ to ride herd on Washington. My first exposure to congressional sex scandals goes all the way back to 1966, although I did not become active in investigations until the 1970’s.

“Herman Cain says his ignorance of Washington is an asset. I demur. Likewise, Mitt Romney and some of the others are newbies. We ‘learned from newbies’ when George Bush, one of the most decent men ever to occupy the White House, went to Washington totally inexperienced, and cratered.

“Politics is not ‘going back in the bottle.’ The Democratic party has become a basket of vicious left-wing vipers. Weiner is a classic, two-faced Democratic Party hatchet man. By day he attacks Republicans; by night he tweets young women and engages in secret correspondence with pornstars. Weiner is a form of sexual predator. His behavior is straight out of the DSM.

“It is time to state the obvious: Weiner must go, and go quickly, to save the Democratic party from further embarrassment. Saturday I will have more to say about the criminal implications and basis for removing Weiner. Today I base my demand for resignation on policy grounds.

“In a memorable phrase, Justice Cardozo said that fiduciaries such as public officials are held to higher standards than the ‘morals of the marketplace’(see link below). In Cardozo’s words, Weiner holds an office with the ‘punctilio of an honor the most sensitive.’ Congress is not a frat house. So what is Weiner doing acting like a sex-starved teenage boy? He’s a married man; he took a vow to take care of those issues at home. Where’s Weiner’s ‘sensitivity,’ other than in his pants? He has yet to answer the question, ‘Is that you in the picture?’

“It is pretty obvious what happened. This is a ‘slip of the key’ case. Weiner was sending a sexual email to Ginger Lee, and pushed the wrong key, sending his underwear photo to Genette Cordova. But why was he sending his underpants to Ginger Lee? ‘Aye, there’s the rub.’ Is his Muslim wife allowing them to live under Moslem morals?

“Next week we will initiate an investigation in Weiner’s home district. Usually, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I think we also need to interview Ginger Lee. It is clear that Weiner had some sort of serious meretricious relationship with her.

“Weiner can do his party a great service by resigning immediately, as Republican perverts usually do. If Weiner won’t step down, at Saturday’s news conference I will begin to outline the legal case and the process by which he can be removed,” Martin says.

ALG Urges Senate to Block Carney for 2nd Circuit Court, Ethics Concerns Plague Nominee

"We urge members not to hide behind procedure or niceties, but to block

Susan Carney for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals based on her merits. 

As John Adams once said, 'pretenses of politeness, delicacy, or decency…

are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardice.'"

—ALG President Bill Wilson. 

May 16, 2011, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government (ALG) President Bill Wilson today urged members of the U.S. Senate to block Susan Carney for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

"Carney's dishonorable willful disregard for the truth and promotion of a falsehood disqualifies her from consideration to a lifetime appointment to the second highest court in the land," Wilson wrote in his letter to Senate Republicans.

He cited an ongoing scandal between Yale University and Korean-based Dongguk University that Carney played a role in as Yale's Deputy General Counsel.  Wilson wrote, "In 2007, when it was revealed that a Dongguk University professor, Shin Jeong-ah, had not received a doctorate degree from Yale, Carney allegedly engaged in a cover-up to prevent information from surfacing showing that Yale had indeed confirmed to Dongguk that Shin was a Yale graduate, as revealed by court documents filed by Dongguk."

The scandal was dubbed "Shin-gate" by the Korean media, and was a public relations disaster for Dongguk University, who is suing Yale for $50 million for damages.  Because Yale had told Dongguk the degree was authentic, but then denied it publicly, it initially appeared that Dongguk was at fault.  The University wrote to Carney, "if Yale University had revealed the fact in your first reply of July 10, 2007, Dongguk University would not have received a lot of harsh criticism from the public."

Wilson explained, "At the time, Carney said the confirmation fax verifying Shin's doctorate sent by Yale was 'not authentic,' even though it turned out that it was. She did not even apparently fully investigate Dongguk's claim until the U.S. Justice Department issued a subpoena in the matter, and failed to even attempt to verify the authenticity of the fax, according to the plaintiffs."

Carney has been voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but, Wilson said, "The questions surrounding "Shin-gate" and Carney's conduct were apparently never raised in the Judiciary Committee and warrant further investigation before Carney receives a lifetime appointment."

"It would be reasonable for Senators to question Carney about why it took a U.S. Attorney enforcing a U.S.-Korean treaty on cooperation in criminal matters to discover that, indeed, Yale University had confirmed that Shin had received the degree," Wilson noted.

He added, "It would be equally reasonable to question whether Yale University knew all along that it had sent the fax to Dongguk confirming the degree, and whether it was, with Carney's knowledge, covering this fact up to salvage its own reputation."

The lawsuit between Dongguk and Yale is ongoing.

Wilson concluded in a statement, "We urge members not to hide behind procedure or niceties, but to block Susan Carney for the 2^nd Circuit Court of Appeals based on her merits.  As John Adams once said, 'pretenses of politeness, delicacy, or decency… are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardice.' "

The Senate will consider the nomination Tuesday at 10 a.m. ET and vote on the nomination at noon, according to The Hill.
