March 26, 2012. Raleigh. A new poll was released on Thursday showing Gary Johnson still a distant third in general election polling, but holding his ground. The former New Mexico Governor had been in the race for the Republican nomination for President. But after being excluded from GOP party surveys and nationally televised debates, Johnson took his campaign and army of libertarian followers into the Libertarian Party.

Read the December 29 issue of this column, 'Does Johnson Defection Doom the GOP?' for details.

Norwich, Conn. —

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson's balanced budget plan calls for a 43 percent cut in military spending, but he says the U.S. Navy views submarines, a key Eastern Connecticut industry, as crucial.

"I'm not pandering to you," the former New Mexico governor said during a meeting with The Bulletin's editorial board on Monday. "But the Navy views the submarine force as untouchable."

A Day with Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson

March 26, 2012
PNC-Minnesota Bureau
By Cara schulz

Note from the Editor: On Thursday I was able to do something few have the chance to do: spend the entire day with a Presidential candidate.  Two-term Governor of New Mexico and likely Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson came to Minnesota for a fundraiser.  What I learned during our time together reinforced the idea that this candidate means it when he claims to represent all Americans. 


Gary Johnson doesn't pander to religious extremists. He also shrugs off the conventional wisdom that associating with religious minorities, such as Pagans, is a bad idea.  Back in October, he participated in a Pagan Media Town Hall, at the time when mainstream media most loves to write derogatory fluff articles about Pagans and "real" witches.  Johnson was roundly mocked for his participation by the mainstream press. Even after that, he still accepts me, an open Pagan,  as his Minnesota host.

TLP Quik Hits: Gary Johnson Pursuing Many Of The Same Goals As Ron Paul

March 20, 2012
The Libertarian Patriot
By Chris Walsh

I urge my fellow supporters of Ron Paul to get behind Gary Johnson's candidacy as soon a possible. Remember, it is about the message, not the messenger and Gary Johnson needs your help if we are going to right the ship in the direction of limited government and personal liberty.

It all begins with name recognition and Gov Johnson's 15% strategy.

Libertarian presidential candidate endorses Washington marijuana legalization

March 19, 2012
The Seattle Times
By Jonathan Martin

The marijuana legalization initiative headed for the November ballot picked up another high-profile endorsement over the weekend: former New Mexico Republican Gov. Gary Johnson.

Johnson, running for president under the Libertarian Party, called Initiative 502 "fiscally responsible and socially pragmatic" in a statement sent out by the initiative campaign.

"We should regulate and tax it like alcohol and tobacco instead of propping up black market
profiteers," Johnson explained. He also expressed concern about the thousands of marijuana
arrests that occur every year. "We have better uses for our police, courts, and jails."

Libertarian Gary Johnson comes to town

March 23, 2012
Minn Post
By Eric Black

Presidential candidate Gary Johnson was in Minneapolis Thursday to raise a little money and explain some miracles.

In case you lost track of him, Johnson started the year running for the Repub nomination, got left out of most of the debates (he claims the networks were unfair to him but declined to say what motivated them), made an impression in the one debate he got into with a joke about how his dog created more "shovel-ready" projects than President Obama has, but has now switched to seeking the Libertarian Party nomination and says he has won every contest on the path to that nomination.

Johnson, 59, was a two-term governor of New Mexico. He ran as a Republican with libertarian leanings (he cut the growth rate of state spending but also advocated decriminalization of marijuana, which is not a normal Republican thing to do). He actually makes a much better Libertarian because his social issue positions are way too far left for today's Repubs and his fiscal ideas are way too far right for Dems. As illustrated by this quote from our conversation:
