Put Guns in the Cockpit, Radio Host Demands in National Crusade

Talk show host Andy Martin continues his national crusade to reverse the Bush Administration decision to bar airlines from arming pilots in the cockpit

TALK RADIO LEADER LAUNCHES NATIONAL CRUSADE
TO REVERSE PRESIDENT BUSH AND
ARM AIRLINE PILOTS IN THE COCKPIT

NEWS CONFERENCE ADVISORY:

A PROGRAMMING NOTE FROM "ANDY MARTIN'S AMERICA"

(NEW YORK) Internet Broadcaster Andy Martin will present a special radio/Internet news conference edition of "Andy Martin's America" Monday, June 10th at 12:00 P.M. to continue a national talk radio crusade aimed at reversing the Bush Administration's decision to prevent airline pilots from being armed in the cockpit.
"This is the national issue which unites almost every American," says Martin. "When you have gun control advocates such as Richard Cohen in the Washington Post, and Second Amendment types, agreeing, watch out President Bush. The American people are trying to tell you something. Your administration is wrong to refuse arming pilots in the cockpit," says the talk radio leader.
"In order for talk radio to influence national policy, there has to be an issue where the American people are united and the politicians are wrong," says Martin. "'Guns in the cockpit' is such an issue. The people, liberals and conservatives, want armed pilots. The politicians do not. June 7th, we launch a crusade to reverse the politicians.
"Every talk radio host is invited to join this crusade," says Andy.
"I believe, based on my own flying experience, each Captain and First Officer should carry a revolver and knife. The program should be voluntary. No pilot should be compelled to carry a firearm. The Bush Administration is being hypocritical to support the Second Amendment in court filings, and then to refuse arming airline pilots."
Martin's controversial program "Andy Martin's America" has become a fulcrum of foreign policy, political analysis and contemporary commentary on the Internet.
Martin has been involved in broadcasting for 34 years, as an on-air personality, and in management, sales and consulting.
Martin has been an adjunct professor of law at the City University of New York, is a Washington foreign policy consultant in the areas of military security and intelligence and was an assistant to U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas.
Martin's radio program (WPBR-AM, West Palm Beach) covers Florida issues from noon-1 P.M. and national/foreign policy from 1-2 P.M. Radio call-in (561) 641-8256, (800) 810-9727. Internet radio website: 1340wpbr.com (click "on air").
