Tony Perkins
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Christian organization the Family Research Council, released a statement giving condolences, saying he was "grateful for the vision and courage of Pat Robertson."
"My first formal introduction into the world of government and political action was in the wake of his run for president and the creation of the Christian Coalition," stated Perkins.
"It was a shaping experience to serve as chairman of the coalition in Baton Rouge many years ago. Pat's vision and legacy as a man of God and a man of action will live on and continue to inspire."
