Let’s Put Gov Gary Johnson On The National Debate Stage!

Gary Johnson 2012

You know the story. The elite national news media and the Establishment-created Commission on Presidential Debates have rigged the game to try to limit this fall’s presidential debates to only the Democrat Barack Obama, and the Republican Mitt Romney.

They have rigged the debates by picking a number out of the air and declaring that a presidential candidate must have at least 15 percent support in a sample of national polls that – you guessed it – they choose.

Never mind that one out of three Americans don’t consider themselves to be either Republicans or Democrats, or that, in poll after poll, a sizable percentage of voters say they would seriously consider a ‘third party’ candidate.

And never mind that their arbitrary and unfair polling requirement might exclude from the debates a successful two-term governor who will likely be on the ballot in all 50 states.

If you agree that this debate-rigging is just plain wrong, go to www.garyjohnson2012.com and do something about it. Give Gov. Johnson a podium by joining our “15% in the Polls” Money Bomb.

The two-party establishment doesn’t want Gov. Gary Johnson in the debates for one simple reason: They don’t really want to have debates. They don’t really want to give a national microphone to a candidate who will challenge business-as-usual. And if they succeed in keeping Gov. Johnson off the stage, they will get exactly what they want.

What they want is a “debate” between two candidates who will argue over which government health care program is better, Obamacare or Romneycare. They don’t want to hear from a candidate who will actually scrap the job-killing tax code. What they want is a Republican and a Democrat who will just quibble about how to tinker with the existing system that lets them hand out subsidies and benefits to their friends.

Without Gov. Johnson on the debate stage, there will be NO debate about wars. Mitt Romney and Barack Obama both support foreign intervention. There will be NO debate about civil liberties. Just a Democrat and a Republican who both support the Patriot Act, who both will continue the failed War on Drugs, and neither of whom will defend marriage equality as a constitutional right.

If you want REAL debates, go to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and make a contribution that will put Gov. Johnson on the stage.

America deserves – and wants – to see real presidential debates. With enough financial support, we can make sure that Gov. Johnson has an opportunity to deliver a message of true liberty, real freedom and financial sanity. Help him show America that there really is a choice in this election.

The goal of our Money Bomb, starting today, is to raise $10,000 for every percentage point in the polls we need in order to put a podium on the stage for Gov. Johnson. Help make sure we do just that! Go to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and make a contribution.

Your support is the key. We can do this.

Thank you,

Gary Johnson; Spoiler Or Contender

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."

We have seen from the beginning that his campaign for President, as both a Republican and Libertarian, has managed to garner little traction with voters due to the lack of coverage by the lamestream mediots and slights by polling organizations. Add in that he was only invited to participate in 2 out of 13 GOP debates even though he was polling as good or better than three of the invitees; Cain, Santorum and Huntsman, you can see why not may people have heard of the former two-term New Mexico Governor.

But something interesting seems to be happening, Gary Johnson is beginning to enter the ridicule phase.

It's not outright ridicule of course, but rather a portrayal of him as a dark-horse candidate waging a Quixotic campaign which he can't win and will only serve to be a spoiler.

The not-so-subtle message; a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Barack Obama.

This is ridiculous of course, Gary Johnson's message is worlds apart from both of his rivals. Where Johnson is running on a platform of fiscal responsibility and social tolerance, his rivals are simply running on maintaining the status quo of their respective parties, with very little daylight in between on key issues. Both Obama and Romney are in favor of government intervention at home and military intervention abroad with little interest in protecting civil liberties or upholding the Constitution.

When contrasted with his rivals, it is crystal clear why the power brokers don't want to see Gary Johnson gain any traction; if the American electorate were to receive a fair analysis of Johnson, he just might have a chance to win. This would be terrible news for the Republiocrat stranglehold on our political system.

As we have seen in the last two elections, the mediots play the role of kingmakers.

In 2008 a little known Illinois Senator came out of nowhere to beat the Clinton Machine and ultimately win the Presidency with the help of the mediots. The same can be said in the 2012 GOP Primaries where, with the media's help, various candidates jumped to the front of the pack only to fall back to earth once the reporting on them had turned.

There is a silver lining in all this. As the saying goes, any press is good press and right now it is a positive for Gary Johnson to just have his name mentioned in the same conversation as his two main rivals. The more the electorate hears about him the better his chances are to gain traction. Once this happens he will enter phase three, they will fight him.

One thing to consider, in a three-way race that is going to be tight, it is only going to take a plurality to win.

Gary Johnson may just shock the world; stranger things have happened.

Gov Gary Johnson Responds To Anemic June Jobs Report

Gary Johnson 2012

GOVERNOR GARY JOHNSON ON JUNE JOBS NUMBERS: TIME FOR HAND-WRINGING IS PAST

July 6, 2012, Tampa, FL — Presidential candidate and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson released the following statement regarding the June jobs report:

“The anemic jobs numbers for June simply confirm what Americans already know: That employers cannot and will not hire new employees with the federal government continuing to rack up trillions of new debt, a tax system that does all the wrong things, and massive uncertainty about the true costs of impending health care mandates.

“Abolish income taxes, repeal the health care mandate, eliminate deficits, and then watch as American entrepreneurs and the private sector put millions back to work.

“The time for hand-wringing and nibbling around the edges is past. We don’t need a 10-year plan for balancing the budget; we need a 1-year plan. We don’t need token reductions in income taxes; we need to eliminate them. And we need to elect a President and a Congress who get the simple fact that less government will mean more jobs.”

Supporters Of Gov. Gary Johnson To Organize CNN Protest

Gov. Johnson’s supporters in the Southeast are planning to converge on CNN Headquarters in Atlanta July 15-16. Here’s an email from Chris Hill with the details:

“FRUSTRATED BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA’S REFUSAL TO GIVE GOV. GARY JOHNSON A CHANCE TO BE HEARD?

Here is an opportunity to do something about it!

July 15 & 16, supporters of Gov. Johnson – and folks who just believe in fairness – are gathering at CNN Headquarters in Atlanta to let the network know that voters deserve the chance to learn that there is another choice in November besides President Obama and Gov. Romney.

People need to know that there IS a voice for social tolerance and fiscal sanity in the presidential race, and that voice is Gary Johnson.

This isn’t just about Gov. Johnson. And it isn’t just about CNN. If the major media organizations across the country don’t even include Governor Johnson in their polls, much less their coverage, millions of Americans who are ready for a third choice in 2012 will be robbed of their opportunity to be heard.

We want to let CNN – and all the other networks – know that we will not be shut out.
Join us in Atlanta July 15-16! Then support our Twitter Bomb on July 16th at 11 a.m. EDT by using the following Hashtag: #BlackoutCNN.

For details, carpooling options, and everything else you need to know about our “protest”, visit: CNN Protest For Fair Coverage of Governor Johnson.

Please donate to this cause at: fundly.com/ChrisjonHill or at www.GaryJohnson2012.com.”

"I Like Gary Johnson But He Can't Win"

I hear this all the time. With people I know, on the blogs, on twitter; the common theme being that Gary Johnson is the best candidate for President who will be on the ballot in all 50 States come November, but they won't vote for him because he can't win.

The general mindset among these folks is that the former New Mexico washed out of the GOP race before the primaries, has little name recognition and was essentially made persona non grata by the lamestream mediots with their blackout of his campaign. These people like Gary Johnson and his proposals but since he is not the choice of the power brokers in this country, he can't win and they would be "wasting" their vote on him.

As it stands right now, Gov Johnson gets about 6-9% in state and national polls but with only 20-25% name recognition. That, my friends, is truly unheard of; that a candidate that almost no one knows is polling as high as he is.

So who is Gary Johnson and what has he accomplished? Well here's the skinny

-Built a one-man handyman business into one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico with over 1,000 employees
-Vetoed 750 bills during his time in office; 32% of the total number of bills submitted for his signature
-Used Line Item Veto thousands of times to trim the budget
-Cut taxes 14 times while never raising them
-Limited annual state budget growth to 5.0% during eight years in office
-Created more than 20,000 new jobs
-Cut over 1,200 government jobs without firing anyone
-Left New Mexico with a budget surplus and one of the only four states in the country with a balanced budget

It should also be noted that Gary Johnson has more executive experience than both his opponents combined. Romney served only one term as Governor in Massachusetts and Obama, who has only been POTUS for 3+ years, had none prior to his election. Johnson served two terms as a Republican in a State with a 2-1 Democrat majority.

Ok, so that is all well and good, but what would Gary Johnson do if he were elected? You asked, so here you go.

-Submit a Balanced Budget to Congress in 2013
-Cut Government spending by 43%
-Repeal ObamaCare and the Medicare prescription drug benefit
-Abolish the IRS
-Audit the Fed
-Stop spending on the fiscal stimulus, transportation, energy, housing, etc
-Eliminate government support of Fannie and Freddie
-Bring the troops home from Afghanistan and cut military spending
-Protect civil liberties
-Work to repeal the PATRIOT Act
-End Cannabis prohibition

So now I ask you, why wouldn't you vote for Gary Johnson? He has a proven track record as being fiscally conservative and socially tolerant; things that all liberty-minded American support.

A vote for Obama or Romney is a vote for the lesser of two evils, which means you are still voting for evil. A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote to get America back on track.

One thing to keep in mind, in a race that is as close as this one is going to be, it will only take about 34-40% to win the Presidency.

On this Fourth of July, declare your independence from the Republiocrat controlled system by supporting and promoting Gary Johnson for President. If every person who has said "I like Gary Johnson but he can't win" did vote for him, he would win and we would be well on the road to recovery.

Be that irate, tireless minority that Samuel Adams spoke about.

Remember, there will be only one candidate on the ballot in all 50 states in November that doesn't have a government mandated health care system to his name.
