Hey Bruce!
I am curious......Have you decided to officially endorse Gary Johnson, or are you still on the fence?

Libertarian candidate touts fiscal conservatism, social tolerance
April 14, 2012
Leader-Telegram
By Eric Lindquist Leader-Telegram staff
A leading Libertarian presidential candidate stopped in Eau Claire on Saturday to tout his message of fiscal conservatism and social tolerance.
Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson said he believes a majority of Americans would classify themselves as both fiscally conservative — a trait historically associated with Republicans — and socially tolerant — a characteristic traditionally linked with Democrats — and that's why he describes his views as the "best of both worlds."
Still, Johnson acknowledged in an interview the uphill battle he faces in generating enough support to pose a serious challenge to Democratic President Barack Obama or Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. Johnson's immediate mission is to reach the standard in all 50 states to qualify for federal matching funds for his campaign.
"The pie in the sky scenario is to potentially poll at 15 percent and then qualify to be on the national debate stage with them," Johnson said before addressing the 2012 Libertarian Minnesota & Wisconsin Joint State Convention at the Ramada Convention Center.

The most interesting presidential candidate in the race
April 11, 2012
Examiner.com
By Karl Dickey
He has climbed Mt. Everest. He's an avid runner. He's smoked weed. He's competed in the Ironman triathlon five times. He once stomped out a forest fire in Los Alamos with just his feet. He built a 1,000+ employee business from scratch. He has received the highest rating of any candidate from the ACLU. He genuinely wants to get government out of American's bedrooms. He's been elected to two-terms as a Governor of a state majority of Democrats. Balanced that state's budget while in office and reduced the size and scope of its government while other states were bloating themselves on taxpayer monies. This candidate donates much time to various charities, helping needy children and families. He feels the government should not be discriminating against gay couples wishing to marry and feels they should also be able to adopt children. It would appear he is everything Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are not.
What is most interesting about this candidate is, he's running a viable campaign as a Libertarian, polling above any other Libertarian candidate for president in recent memory. Who is this guy?

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson speaks yesterday during the fourth annual tax day rally in Worcester. (T&G Staff/RICK CINCLAIR)
WORCESTER — About 300 people at yesterday's Worcester County Tea Party's fourth annual tax day rally at Lincoln Square were told they can make a big difference in this year's election.
People arriving before the 2:15 p. m. rally listened to rock music played by Smear Campaign while they set up signs with phrases such as, "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny" and "Don't tax my candy."
"These are great signs," said Francis C. "Chip Faulkner, associate director of Citizens for Limited Taxation. "They show your feelings."
Six participants held up an approximately 60-foot long banner before the rally at Lincoln Square urging people to repeal the income tax.
One of the banner holders was Thomas E. Tribastone of Worcester who said he believes the government has to be reigned in.

The Obama-Romney-Johnson three way race - their stance on the issues
April 15, 2012
Examiner.com
By Karl Dickey
The three most likely candidates to be on the ballot in all 50 states for the office of President are current President Obama, Republican Mitt Romney and Libertarian Gary Johnson. Many American voters have been asking where exactly do they stand on the major issues affecting Americans.
The mainstream media has its focus on side issues rather than the hardcore issues. We do our best to inform the public here.
Marriage Equality: Obama and Romney are against it, Gary Johnson is for it.
Legalization of Medicinal Marijuana: Obama and Romney are against it. Gary Johnson is for it.
Staunch Advocate for Gun Rights: Obama and Romney have voted for gun control, Johnson supports more adherence to the 2nd Amendment.
War: Obama and Romney either have or have voiced support of engaging in unconstitutional wars. Johnson is not for war except in cases of true defense of the U.S.A. and potentially where innocent civilians are being killed by their oppressive governments or "warlords".

If you are one of the 60% who believe that the war in Afghanistan is no longer worth fighting, you have only one candidate that will be on the Presidential ballot in November who will put an immediate end to the hostilities; Gary Johnson.
The choice is yours; are you going to vote your conscience or vote for a candidate who will continue the killing of American soldiers?

Gary Johnson, A Short Review:
April 16, 2012
Libertarians
By ptwalker
I have written about Gary Johnson on this blog before (here and here) and I have always liked his message, and could never really understand why he did not gain more traction in the Republican nominating process, or with the electorate in general. Yesterday I took the opportunity to go and see (and briefly speak with) the governor, and I have to say, it makes even less sense to me now.
Speaking to a TEA Party audience in Worcester he very succinctly laid out the real problem facing the United States at this moment: we are borrowing 43 cents of every dollar we are spending. This situation is a drag on our economy and the future of our country, and it really is not that big of a mystery. We spend entirely too much money on a very large and intrusive government. Now, if you think that is just hunky dory, then you will probably be voting for Obama or Romney. Neither one of them is even slightly serious about doing anything about the actual problem. The president has a gimmick he is running on: tax super-rich people, make them pay a fair share! There won't be any cutting, there won't be any reforming, and if the last three years are an indication there probably won't be a budget passed, just more spending set to autopilot. Mitt Romney thinks we are not spending nearly enough on our military, even at $700 Billion per year. He will increase it while further cutting taxes and maybe cutting some program some where, but let's not get into any specifics. Mr. Johnson on the other hand talks about submitting a balanced budget in his first year encompassing massive cuts in the government and rolling back much of the state. He spoke of the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, the Department of Education, HUD, the PATRIOT Act and a host of other things that would be cut or disbanded, enough to make enemies of nearly every constituency dependent on Big Government. And of course that is the real hurdle to overcome; getting everyone to understand that the system itself is broken and needs real reform. This reform is going to have to change everyone's perception of what this government can and should be doing and how far and deep its reach is going to be into our economy and our lives.
