Profile: Art Robinson

No security guards.

No roadblocks.

No obstacles.

Just an average guy standing on the side of the road in a weathered Carhart jacket, holding his own campaign sign.

Meet Art Robinson.

Who is this man, and why does anyone care if he gets elected?

According to his website he's a scientist and an educator. He has earned a BS from the California Institute of Technology and a PhD from the University of California at San Diego. He's been on the faculty at the University of California San Diego, he's been the President and Research Professor for the Linus Pauling Institute, and he's currently President and Research Professor for the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine.

Looking at his website might imply that Mr. Robinson is a true, dyed in the wool patriot, with red, white and blue colors, and antiqued flag and copy of the U.S. Constitution behind him in his header. It says that he carries the message of "American freedom and American exceptionalism" for every voter to hear.




According to Noah Robinson, Art Robinson's 33 year old son and campaign manager, Art Robinson is a "fine man," an exacting scientist who is knowledgable and has a high degree of personal character.




Art Robinson is proving himself to be a tenacious individual, not only with regard to his working and educational backgrounds, but also for having declared his intentions to run for office again, on the same night as his defeat.




In his own words, Art Robinson is a good candidate for office "because I'm for smaller government, and more liberty."
