Rob Sherman
Rob Sherman is one of the most effective and famous social activists in the Midwest.
I am the Green Party of Illinois candidate for State Representative for the 53rd District of Illinois.
I just retired, on November 30, 2007, from being the Morning Drive host of the Rob Sherman Show on AM 1530 WJJG Chicago, weekday mornings, Monday through Friday, from 7 to 8 a.m. I operate Rob Sherman Advocacy, which is fighting injustice, one victory at a time, Rob Sherman Delivery, which is moving the world, six pallets at a time, the Rob Sherman Travel Agency, which features family and couple vacation packages by Apple Vacations, and Rob Sherman Concerts, which is entertaining the world, one song at a time.
My fame results from my success in getting many practices by government and private business changed without going to court. My effectiveness results from my spotless reputation and from my ability to politely but firmly identify differences between the positive intent of public or private policy and the negative effect that those policies inadvertently have. By offering constructive solutions that would result in a positive effect and address the economic impact of those changes, and by working with government officials and business leaders rather than issuing press releases that criticize them or their policies, I have become highly regarded for my effectiveness while maintaining an impeccable and flawless personal reputation. Attempts to smear my reputation with false rumors and fake convictions have completely failed to tarnish my image in any way, whatsoever. The local State Court, widely known in the community as the House of Fraud, has proclaimed me guilty, on many occasions, for supposedly violating state statutes and municipal ordinances, but I have never been accused of doing anything that actually constitutes a violation of those statutes and ordinances. Sometimes the accusation and conviction is for the crime of "We don't have to tell you what the accusation is," such as when I was arrested, convicted and sent to jail for supposedly causing bodily harm to my 16-year-old son. I've never caused bodily harm to any one, but more significantly, I've never even been accused of doing anything which constitutes bodily harm. None of that matters when you're dealing with the House of Fraud, where conflict of interest is the only thing that matters. In this scam, an area Republican Party Chairman filed charges against me in behalf of the head of a local Boy Scouts troop, shortly after I successfully sued the Boy Scouts troop leader for illegal discrimination in the use of public funds. When I repeatedly asked the Republican Party Chairman, during the trial, what bodily harm was he alleging that I caused my son, the answer was always, "I don't have to tell you." The judge turned out to be the Republican Party Chairman's former law partner and someone who was about to run for public office as a Republican, so naturally I was convicted and sent to jail, but neither the Republican Party Chairman, the head of the Boy Scouts nor the judge who was the former law partner of the Republican Party Chairman, have ever accused me of actually doing anything that constitutes a crime, since I've never committed a crime. The conviction was completely fake, and everybody in the community knew it, so the fake conviction only served to change my reputation in the community from that of being an advocate for good government to that of being a martyr for good government. Sometimes the accusations and convictions are for things that are completely legal, such as driving a commercial vehicle on the roadway. (Huh? No, it's not illegal to drive a commercial vehicle on the roadway. That's why people buy license plates, but I've had charges filed against me, repeatedly, for driving my commercial vehicle on the same roadway that all other commercial vehicles drive on legally.) Sometimes, in fact, charges are filed against me for things that are simply fictitious, such as improper parking of a recreational vehicle. I don't own a recreational vehicle and never have. I'm a law abiding citizen, so when charges are filed against me for unspecified accusations, things that are completely legal or things that are completely fictitious, don't take it seriously. It's all fake. When convictions on those baseless and fake charges are rendered against me by the House of Fraud, on the basis that a person loses his presumption of innocence upon conviction and that, therefore, I have to create an accusation against myself and confess to it, or else be sent to jail for "not cooperating with the efforts of the court to help me," don't take it seriously. It's all fake. It's all part of being a successful social activist. It's simply government's feeble and, ultimately, futile attempts to intimidate me, but as you can see, the fake arrests and the fake convictions haven't slowed me down one iota.
The Chicago Tribune has named me to their A-list as one of the most influential movers and shakers in the Chicago area. That wouldn't have happened if they took any of those fake convictions seriously. In addition, the Chicago Sun-Times has repeatedly included my radio show in their Radio Highlights. That, too, wouldn't have happened if they thought that there was even a chance that I was a criminal, because doing so would have reflected poorly on their judgment and reputation.
I am a frequent guest speaker, throughout the nation, on radio and television talk shows, where I'm known as the "Prince of Sound Bites," at public and private high schools, colleges and universities, and at civic organizations and houses of worship.
I'm 55 years old. Celeste, pictured above, who still looks like she's 19 but is actually a little older than that, and I have been happily married for twenty-nine years. Notice how Celeste doesn't have any gray hairs? That's because of the wonderful, stress-free marriage that I have provide her with...
Our son, Richard, is the Vice President of Ferrum Technology Services. Richard retired last year from teaching science in public high schools. He now makes more money in a month at his private business than he made in a year teaching.
Our teenage daughter, Dawn, is a freshman at Buffalo Grove High School. When she grows up, Dawn wants to be a famous, highly respected social activist, just like Daddy. She's on her way! In September, 2007, Dawn got God banned from homecoming at Buffalo Grove High School. One month later, Dawn sued to stop the unconstitutional mandatory student prayer law in public schools. That litigation is still going on in federal court, and we're winning.
We have lived in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, for twenty-four years. Our house is located twenty-four miles northwest of downtown Chicago and ten miles northwest of O'Hare Airport.
