The Most Gutsy Campaign Ad I've Ever Seen
http://www.vernonrobinson.com/twilightzone.shtml ^ | 6-17-08 | no dems

Posted on 06/17/2006 7:10:52 AM PDT by no dems

I hope I'm doing this right. I've only posted one other vanity on this website before. But, I just had to share this with my Freeper brothers and sisters.

Check out this TV ad by Vernon Robinson, who is a black Conservative running for Congress in North Carolina. Oh my, if only all Conservatives had this much intestinal fortitude.

You can view the ad here: http://www.vernonrobinson.com/twilightzone.shtml

Can anyone tell me of any other political ad they've ever seen that "tells it like it is" any better than this one?

Heard the ad on Rush yesterday. He has it posted on Rush 24/7. That's one of the best if not the best campaign commercials I've ever seen.

He should sell this ad to the National Republican committees in both houses. Each candidate could simply patch in their commentary at the end.

Vernon would fund his campain off of the residuals and the other candidates production costs would be reduced.

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.

If you look at the "issue" section, it shows what ultra liberal Brad Miller stands for.

I don't know about San Fran, but here in NC, those views are not shared by anyone. Maybe 1% but those people have migrated here from blue states for our weather.

How can anyone look at what Miller has voted for and still vote Democrat?

I don't think people are aware of what Dems really stand for. People just vote that way because George Clooney says to.

Hope you are right.

It has always puzzled me that most blacks only support Liberal candidates or listen to Liberal pundits. These Liberals have more interest in keeping the typical black a victim than advocating their best interests.

I am not from N.C. but I love this guy and will send him some $$$

I just send his ad web site to my Republican Congressmen with a note saying that "This should be your ad"

His ad site address needs to be posted on your state board (N.C.)

I think he will get an overwhelming majority of black voters in Ohio. These Americans are family oriented, conservative folks who work hard and want what's right for our Country.

Just MHO.
