About Vernon

The son of a nurse and a famed Tuskegee Airman, Vernon Robinson became an Eagle Scout before graduating from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in Middle Eastern Affairs and the University of Missouri with a Master of Business Administration.

After serving as a Missile Combat Crew Commander and Intelligence Officer, Air Force Captain Robinson became Professor Robinson. Vernon spent ten years teaching at the Winston-Salem State University School of Business and Economics before founding the North Carolina Education Reform Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes school choice.

Vernon is the President of the Carolina Educational Opportunity Fund, a nonprofit organization that raises private sector funds to provide private school scholarships to more than 250 children from low-income homes. Many of these schools are attended by children who reside in the 13th District:

• Capital City Christian Academy (Raleigh)
• Getheseman SDA School (Raleigh)
• Love Christian Center Academy (Raleigh)
• Word of God Christian Academy (Raleigh)
• Mount Zion Christian Academy (Durham)
• Christian Faith Center Academy (Granville County)
• Napoleon B. Smith SDA Academy (Guilford County)
• Baldwin Chapel SDA School (Guilford County).

Vernon has been married to his lovely wife Helene for 23 years. Vernon's mother is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha and his wife is a member of Delta Sigma Theta. Helene has helped educate children as a librarian at the public library for more than 20 years. Vernon and Helene are blessed with three children, two of whom they adopted. Vernon and his family belong to First Assembly.

During his eight years of public service on the Winston-Salem City Council, Vernon Robinson built a strong pro-family, pro-business voting record. Vernon's leadership did not go unnoticed. Americans for Tax Reform gave Vernon its Hero of the Taxpayer Award. When Vernon successfully prevented the local United Way from withdrawing its financial support of the Boy Scouts, Dr. James Dobson said it was "a victory for people of faith across the country."

In a campaign for State Superintendent, City Council, or Congress, Vernon has been endorsed by:

• The Greensboro News & Record
• The Wall Street Journal
• Senator Elizabeth Dole
• Senator Jesse Helms
• Senator Lauch Faircloth
• Senator Richard Burr
• Congressman Tom Tancredo
• Congressman Dick Armey
• Congressman Bob Barr
• Congressman Walter Jones, Jr.
• Congressman Howard Coble
• Congresswoman Virginia Foxx
• Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger
• Education Secretary Bill Bennett
• Ambassador Alan Keyes
• White House Advisor Gary Bauer
• Housing & Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp
• White House Advisor Pat Buchanan
• Governor Jeb Bush
• Dr. D. James Kennedy
• NASCAR legend Richard Petty
• U.S. Immigration Reform PAC
• English Language PAC
• Homeschoolers PAC
• National Rifle Association
• Gun Owners of America
• Grassroots North Carolina
• Right-to-Life
• Police Benevolent Association
• Int'l Association of Fire Fighters
• Republican Liberty Caucus
• Black America's PAC.

Vernon's common-sense views and mainstream record provide a stark contrast to the radical views and extreme, ultra-liberal voting record that Brad Miller has compiled during his three years in Congress.

When 13th District voters compare the candidates' voting records and positions on the issues, moderate and conservative voters conclude that Brad Miller is out of touch and a growing coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents discovers that Vernon Robinson is the only candidate who shares their values and will represent them in Congress.

This guy is cool...Too bad I'am in Florida.

[noodler]

He does sound like an outstanding candidate for this position.Good luck and thanks.

[cowboyway]

Hey Vernon! Come to South Carolina and take RINO Graham's place!

[jern]

vernon robinson is a grifter

[Libloather]

Jesse Helms is back! And this time, he's black...

GO AIR FORCE!

[91B]

What seat is he running for? Virginia Foxx holds the seat he tried for last time (I sent him some money).

I prefer Robinson, but Foxx is a Republican (RINO though she is). Is he trying to win the nomination from her or is he trying for a different seat?

[Soul Seeker]

I'm not rich by any means, so I'm selective about which candidates to fund.

I'm adding Robinson, he's too good NOT to support. A candidate that runs as a CONSERVATIVE, has humor, and tells it like it is without political correctness cluttering the airwaves.

Any folks in his district need to sign up to work his campaign if they haven't already. Everyone please donate if you haven't.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

That has got to be the greatest political ad I've ever seen.

Please FRmail Constitution Day OR TaxRelief OR Alia if you want to be added to or removed from this North Carolina ping list.

Sadly, my congressman is David Price.

Price is from Chapel Hill. Need I say more?

I'd love to be able to vote for Robinson.

It's a great ad; one of the best I've ever seen. If the ad was the only thing I knew about Vernon, I'd send him money, and maybe even volunteer for his campaign (even though his district is 100+ miles away from me).

Unfortunately, I do know Vernon, and jern, though it'll be an unpopular opinion around here, has it about right. "Grifter" (a petty con artist) is an apt description. To which I'd add "perpetual candidate," "district hopper," "showboater," and "master of the ad hominem attack." He has run for, and lost, State Superintendent of Education (twice); Congress (this is his second attempt, this time a different district he doesn't live in); and City Council in Winston-Salem. He copied the inane stunt of the judge in Alabama by commissioning a granite Ten Commandments monument and having it installed, without permission, in a county courthouse; it was, of course, removed. He slimed his opponent in the 2004 Congressional primary (Virginia Foxx, who won, and who has a 100 rating by the American Conservative Union, but is still thought of by some as a "RINO" because of Vernon's lies about her), and he has strongly implied that his current opponent is gay, despite a total lack of evidence.

As I said, great ad. But those of you who haven't seen this kook operate need to dig a little deeper before getting on board (yes, a mixed metaphor).

Vernon likes to call himself a "black Jesse Helms." Actually, he's more like a "poor man's Alan Keyes" but without the intelligence or the charm.

Question jern's conservative credentials if you like. Question mine, too, if you wish. But I recommend that FReepers steer a wide path around Mr. Robinson.
