I first met Jim Robinson via the internet, and of course that was here at FR. Then in 2000, the South Carolina Chapter held it's first Rally at which Linda Tripp made her first public appearance after the impeachment and all of her legal problems.

We knew that BobJ would be there, Clarity, Nick Danger and others that were regulars on FR, but it was unclear whether or not JimRob was going to be there, in fact I didn't know until the last minute that he was here.

I had heard so much about this man, that in my mind, I saw him as ten feet tall - somewhat of a Paul Bunyan/Pecos Pete/Superman person, larger than life and able to leap tall building in a single leap etc., anyway you get the picture - what I found instead was a very quiet, shy man who was concerned about his country and the people in it. And to this day, I believe someone who is still stunned by what he started.

That Saturday after a full day of seminars, I watched JimRob, J.J. Johnson, Cynic, Alligator Eyes and others sagging and tired until I introduced a speaker by the name of Van Jenerette - as Van spoke I watched JimRob suddenly come alive - you could see the passion for the subject on his face - it was the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Thus was formed my impression of the man - shy, quiet, but passionate about his beliefs. I later met Jim at the Ignauration Ball and found him no different.

From JimRob, I learned it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican, Libertarian or Green, what does matter is: DO YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY? DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS AS WRITTEN BY THE FRAMERS? DO YOU CARE ENOUGH? 'Cause you see, he's a democrat and I'm a republican - but we both love our country and are seeking the the goals.

So thank you JimRob for giving me and others a place to spout off, thank you for the various chapters that have sprung up across the nation, but most of all thank you for caring enough for your country to do something about it!
