Art Robinson for Congress! Show your support in this thread!

wow Art doesn't take any crap, haha. thanks for posting that video, hadn't seen it in a long time.
 
I am as excited about Art as I am any liberty candidate. I want Art to win to show that not all Christians are warmongers and statists. You can be a Christian like Ron Paul and Art Robinson and be against war and debt (in fact, this is how a Christian SHOULD be).
 
Two moderators posted their support in a single day and a bunch of 2007/08 folks, plus newer members. Whose ass do I gotta kiss around here to get a subforum for this man?

He'll be getting a donation tomorrow too.

(I PMed Josh so hopefully he'll come through)

Agree he deserves a sub-forum. The guy was a research and business partner with one of the most famous scientists of the 20th Century, he's sent out 150,000 books promoting the cause of liberty within his district, and he had a highly memorable appearance on the Rachel Maddow show last time around. Arguably, he's the most high profile Liberty Candidate running for a House seat this election cycle.
 
Since there's still no subforum, everyone should PM JoshLowry and Bryan and request a subforum for Art.

Leave it to a scientist to keep trying if one experiment doesn’t work out as planned.

Two years ago, Dr. Art Robinson did something a bit unusual for his background and training. The CalTech and University of California - San Diego graduate and research scientist had seen veteran Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio speak at a town meeting in Oregon's 4th District.

"Listening to him, I couldn’t believe he was my congressman, or that he had been in office since 1986," Robinson recalled, "but we already had a Republican candidate and that was that." But when the likely GOP nominee abandoned the race before the primary, Robinson 68 years old, president and director of a research institute and farm, a widower and father of six decided to become a candidate.

Stumping throughout the seven county districts, speaking "before any group that would have me," fledgling candidate Robinson spoke his mind on issues and did so with passion. He called for abolishing the U.S. Departments of Education and Energy, as well as "cutting the budgets of just about every other government agency and department." He also spoke with passion about making legislation by strictly following the U.S. Constitution, and argued forcefully against the concept of global warming. (Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), arguably the strongest opponent of global warming in Congress, cites the petition of global warming skeptics among scientists drawn up by Robinson a few years earlier as the reason he got started on the issue).

And then things started to happen. More than 6,000 individuals made small-but-substantial donations to Robinson and he raised more than $1.3 million. Different tea party groups throughout the 4th District weighed in for the scientist hopeful and, in Robinson's words, "The crowds got larger and larger and before long, there were 42,000 yard signs up in the district, all out by volunteers."

Robinson's first "experiment" was not a success. He lost, albeit with 43.6 percent of the vote, or the strongest showing against DeFazio (lifetime American Conservative Union Rating: 14.15 percent). But this year, Robinson is back, with a better-funded campaign, the blessing of state and national GOP organizations, and will likely get the ballot lines of the Constitution and Libertarian parties along with that of the Republicans.

"People are losing economic freedom," he says, "and they are finding it hard to compete with more government spending and more programs. My opponent doesn’t see it that way. He's a big government socialist who voted for ObamaCare after saying he wouldn't, and for all but one of the stimulus packages."

Clearly, Art Robinson is a unique type of candidate who, when one experiment doesn't get the intended results, tries another. With help from fellow conservatives, this experiment will succeed with the intended results: Rep. Art Robinson (R-Ore.).
