Candidate for U S Representative, CD3, Libertarian, 2016; Mr. Robinson's filing for office was rejected by the Oklahoma State Election Board for inability to pay the filing fee and lack of a petition in lieu of the filing fee. Mr. Robinson contended the State's action was in violation of U S Supreme Court decision, Lubin v. Panish (1974).

Delegate, Orlando Convention, 2016.

Announced candidate for the Libertarian Party nomination for U S Representative, CD3, Oklahoma, 2018; Mr. Robinson anticipates litigation will be necessary for his name to appear on the Oklahoma ballot in 2018.

Mr. Robinson is the principal advocate of the FABulous Reform (2017) for Congressional legislation requiring a uniform write-in ballot for all candidate elections in the U S, or a Constitutional Amendment to that end. This reform would moot almost all ballot access issues of filing fees, petitioning or quotas to have candidates recognized as eligible to receive votes in an election. Voters would have full First Amendment rights to publish their candidate choices, regardless of party Primary Election "winnowing", on the General Election ballot.
