abstract
| - Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona (born 1945), usually known as Andy Martin, is an American journalist. He has attracted attention for his political campaigns, filing numerous lawsuits, and for making unsuccessful attempts to win public office for both the Republican and Democratic parties. He has also run twice for the office of President of the United States, once in 1988 and again in 2000. Martin was accused in the press of being the source of false rumors that U.S. President Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim. Later, in an interview with CNN, Martin asserted that Obama's real father was not Barack Obama Sr. but Frank Marshall Davis, an African American journalist of the 1950s. To counter these claims the Obama campaign posted an image of a certified copy of his birth certificate online. On October 17, 2008, Martin filed a lawsuit against the state of Hawaii calling for the public release of Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate. On October 22, 2008 the Supreme Court of Hawaii denied the request.
