Dear friends:
We may be about to see a historic event. Winston-Salem, North Carolina City Councilman Vernon Robinson moved one step closer to becoming the first black Republican to represent a former confederate state in the United States Congress since Reconstruction. Defeating eight other candidates, including five millionaires, Robinson finished in first place in the most expensive congressional primary in the country (with well over 6 million dollars being spent).
See Mr. Robinson's Web site at http://vernonrobinson.com/, and especially his personal message at http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/welcome/ . He says:
We beat the pundits, who said that our message was "too conservative" and too "old fashioned" for the voters, and that it was "a political mistake" to run a pro-life radio ad. We beat the local NAACP and the racial agitators who called us "racists" because we demanded an end to government-sponsored racial quotas and minority set-asides.
We beat the radical homosexuals who called us "homophobes" and "gay bashers" just because we supported the right of the Boy Scouts to decide for themselves whether they want pedophiles in their pup tents and atheists as scoutmasters.
We beat the illegal alien lobby who left threats taped to the door of our headquarters and called us "mean-spirited gringos" just because we think it's insane for our national borders to be open to every terrorist and migrant alien in the world.
We beat the editorial staffs of the district's liberal newspapers, all of whom advised their readers to vote against me (and one of whom told his readers to vote for ANYBODY but me) because I think English should be our national language.
They called me "the black Jesse Helms" when I called for no new taxes, and an "Uncle Tom" when I said Bill Cosby was right to tell young blacks to quit making welfare babies, stop talking street talk jive, and get an education and a job.
And as one reporter put it, we beat nine millionaires -- the four who dropped out, and the five who didn't!
I am pro-Constitution, pro-national sovereignty, pro-military, pro-veteran, pro-growth, pro-business, pro-property rights, pro-marriage, pro-adoption, pro-farmer, pro-school choice, pro-states' rights, pro-religious freedom, pro-Pledge of Allegiance, pro-death penalty, pro-gun, and pro-life.
I will secure our borders and demand the vigorous enforcement of our immigration laws. I support market-based reforms of government entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.I am unabashedly and unalterably opposed to racial quotas, special rights for homosexuals, the United Nations, the proliferation of frivolous lawsuits, women in combat, pork barrel spending, useless government programs and agencies, onerous regulations, and all tax hikes.
