Rob Schilling ... needed back on the airwaves of C-ville

A "Bring Back Rob Schilling" movement is underway in the People's Republic of Charlottesville. Rob Schilling, the long-haired Christian rock singer/conservative who served on Charlottesville City Council as the lone Republican from 2002-06, spent the past year on WINA radio as a morning personality but was unexpectedly released in September. Rob helped put a "fair-and-balanced" perspective in an area that is overwhelmingly liberal.

Help "Bring Back Rob" by contacting the station:
Renee Quesenberry, General Manager: renee@charlottesvilleradiogroup.com
Rick Daniels, WINA Program Director: rick@3wv.com
WINA business phone: 220-2300

Let's bring back Rob!

About Rob ... from the website:

A native of southern Califironia, Rob relocated to Charlottesville in 1998 to enjoy what he describes as the idyllic lifestyle of our area. In addition to being an accomplished musican and singer-songwriter, Rob is also a savvy businessman.

In 2002, Rob was elected to the City Council as its lone Republican. A staunch defender of freedom, property rights and responsible, accountable government, Rob tirelessly fought for intelligent financial management and transparency in all City affairs.

In 2006, Rob fought for a controversial elected school board referendum, against seemingly overwhelming opposition, from entrenched political interests. In the end, with Rob's leadership, the measure passed by a significant margin, and local parents have been grateful.

Along with his wife Joan, and their son, Gabriel, Rob has made a distinctive and positive contribution to life in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
