Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson would run for president again in four years if he's not elected in November, the candidate announced during a town hall meeting Tuesday night.

"As long as I'm relevant, I will continue this through 2016," Johnson said during the meeting, which was simulcast live online.

A former two-term governor of New Mexico, Johnson initially sought the Republican nomination for president in 2011, but he switched to the Libertarian Party in May after struggling to gain traction in state and national polls. Through the Libertarian Party, Johnson's name will be included on ballots in 47 states on Election Day, and a CNN/ORC poll in early September suggested that he could take as much as 3 percent of the vote.

Johnson has been excluded from the upcoming debates and last month filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates to gain access. The effort failed, but Johnson plans to answer questions online during Wednesday night's debate between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney, much like he did when he wasn't invited to most of the Republican primary debates last year.

During the town hall Tuesday, Johnson joked about people who say that a vote for anyone other than Obama or Romney was a "waste."

"Waste your vote!" he told the crowd. "Vote for me."

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson will be on the ballot in November in at least 47 states. The former Republican governor of New Mexico isn't likely to win any of them. But he just might siphon off enough votes from one of the other candidates to affect the outcome.

If you don't think a third party candidate can play a role in a presidential election, just ask George HW Bush about Ross Perot or ask Al Gore about Ralph Nader.

This fall, the Libertarian Party will have a candidate on the ballot in at least 47 states. Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson probably won't be invited to the debates and pollsters don't usually even bother asking about him. But he could influence the outcome of a close election, as NPR Joel Rose reports.

JOEL ROSE, BYLINE: Unless you're from New Mexico, where Gary Johnson served two terms as governor, you've probably never heard of him, but Johnson would like to change that.

GARY JOHNSON: I am the only candidate advocating a balanced budget now.

ROSE: Gary Johnson gave a speech at New York University this month, part of his three-week tour of college campuses. He showed up for the occasion dressed in a blue blazer, faded jeans and T-shirt with a peace symbol on it.

In interview, Johnson laid out all the other ways he is not like the two main candidates for the presidency and there are plenty.

Libertarian Presidential Candidate Could Influence Election

A few weeks back there was a small but spirited protest at our next-door neighbors doorstep: Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate John Jay Myers and his people are ticked that WFAA-Channel 8 didnt invite the Free Man to participate in tomorrow nights Belo Debate. Now, Channel 8 has its reasons, among em whether or not a candidates gotten 15 percent in the polls or received significant news coverage from a wide range of media outlets. And candidates are excluded from debates all the time for those reasons, among others, and some, like Debra Medina, find their way in when they thought theyd be out. But that isnt good enough for Myers, a former candidate for city council who, as Rudy noted back when, put on a good show when running against Carolyn Davis.

Moments ago Myers sent word: Hes filed a protest with the Federal Communications Commission, blasting the subjective, inconsistent, and biased nature of WFAAs candidate selection. Writes Myers:

As Libertarians we believe strongly in freedom of speech and of the press. However, when broadcast television stations arbitrarily choose which candidates the public is shown, and when they choose the same parties that write communications laws, and when no objective standard is applied, we do not believe they can any longer be considered free. WFAA has chosen to serve the two party duopoly rather than the public interest, to anoint its favorite candidates rather that offer alternative viewpoints, and to artificially manufacture news rather than report it.

Messages have been left at the FCC; curious to see what happens next, if anything. This much is certain: You can read his full missive below. And: If Democrat Paul Sadler really wants a third debate, well, hes always got a date.

LEWISTON If you're like most Maine voters, you've probably never heard of Gary Johnson.

If you have, you're likely a die-hard Libertarian, a political reporter and/or under the age of 40.

But the former two-term governor of New Mexico and Libertarian Party candidate for president may play a bigger role in Maine's 2012 election cycle than many could have guessed when Johnson entered the race as a Republican in April 2011.

Johnson provides a segment of Maine's young Republicans with an option to Mitt Romney after their efforts to boost the presidential campaign of Texas Rep. Ron Paul were thwarted by several controversial decisions, first by the Maine GOP and then by the Republican National Committee.

Johnson also holds appeal for a sizable segment of Maine voters who are more left-leaning than the Democratic candidate on the ballot. His support of medical marijuana, his message on peace and his support of ending U.S. military involvement abroad resonates with many.

While it's not the first time Maine has had a Libertarian Party candidate on the ballot, it may be the first time that candidate draws enough votes to officially establish the party in Maine. Typically, a Libertarian Party candidate for president will pick up between 0.25 and 0.5 percent of the vote.

"Gary Johnson will significantly outpace that,"Jim Melcher, a political science professor at the University of Maine at Farmington predicted in an email message Friday. Melcher wrote that one recent poll that suggested Johnson would pull between 2 and 3 percent of the vote.

"He has tuned his appeal to sound very much like Ron Paul, with calls to audit the Federal Reserve, and I think a lot of Paul's backers are listening to him," Melcher said. "Many seem to still be bitter about their battles with Romney's forces."

A recent YouTube promotional video, narrated by Johnson, features images of Paul and touts Johnson's endorsement of Paul in 2008. And during one of two nationally televised pre-primary Republican Party debates, Johnson said if he were the GOP nominee, he would select Paul as his running mate.

"(Paul's) efforts have changed America; they've changed me," Johnson says in the video. "The revolution he ignited in the hearts and minds of millions of Americans will not fade away."

Libertarian could win bloc in Maine

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Libertarian candidate for Texas' open U.S. Senate seat has filed a federal complaint saying he was unfairly excluded from a debate between Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Paul Sadler.

Cruz and Sadler meet Tuesday night in a debate hosted by WFAA in Dallas. They are seeking to succeed retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Libertarian John Jay Myers alleges in a Sept. 25 complaint to the Federal Communications Commission that WFAA's criteria for inviting candidates was based on "partisan favoritism."

Myers says the station told him it used five criteria, including holding previous elected office. He says Cruz doesn't meet all the requirements.

Cruz was appointed state solicitor general, serving from 2003 until 2008. Sadler is an ex-state representative.

Myers plans to respond to his opponents' debate comments via YouTube.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The most surprising finding in a new Senate poll is the showing of Libertarian Andy Horning and it raises the possibility that Horning will play the role of spoiler in November. The Howey/DePauw poll shows Democrat Joe Donnelly ahead by just 2 percent. Horning is at 7 percent and, if Donnelly wins, the presence of Horning in the race could be a big reason why.

Four years ago Horning was on the ballot for governor, his second attempt at statewide office. He won about 3 percent of the vote. 24-Hour News 8 caught up with Horning by phone Friday in Ohio, where he called the poll results unexpected.

"I mean every election I've always polled higher, you know, early on than I have on Election day," said Horning. "This is better than I've ever seen before and the race is tighter.

Pollster Christine Matthews tweeted that Horning's support is coming from Republicans, presumably Lugar Republicans unwilling to support Richard Mourdock. Mourdock still hopes to win them back.

"Since Labor Day we know that those Republicans who were certainly unhappy that Mr. Lugar was even challenged, those folks are coming our direction in big numbers," says Mourdock.

Meanwhile, Indiana Libertarian Executive Director Chris Spangle enjoys the attention directed at Horning.

"Absolutely it helps the party," says Spangle. "We have made a conscious effort to take advantage of this year."

Yet both Horning and Spangle don't agree that Horning might be a spoiler for Mourdock.

"This isn't their race." says Horning. "It's up to voters."

Horning does accept, however, that most of his support is coming from Republicans.

Will Libertarian spoil Senate race?

HELENA In his low-key race for governor, Libertarian Ron Vandevender says he wants to create more jobs, encourage the formation of more agricultural cooperatives and urge the federal government to legalize hemp.

Vandevender, 53, lives off the power grid in Craig and runs a self-sufficient ranch, raising his own meat and vegetables. He said he barters whatever is left over with other people for other products he needs. He previously managed several fast food restaurants, ran a chain of pawn shops in Mississippi for the owner and ran an Internet retail business.

The candidate, who has a mailing address in Cascade, has lost previous races for the U.S. House and the state House.

Vandevender said in an interview he has a jobs plan.

I want to push more private sector jobs in Montana, built by Montanans and employing Montanans and away from the super-store mentality, he said.

Vandevender said his goal is to create 25,000 to 40,000 jobs in a short while.

One thing wed push for is hemp, he said. Its a legal crop in Montana, but nobody plants it because theyre worried about the feds.

The Montana Legislature voted in 2001 to authorize the production of industrial hemp, but federal law prohibits such activity.

If hemp were grown on 1 percent of Montanas farmlands, Vandevender said the state could reap than $300 million in new income. Hemp has thousands of uses, he said, including rope, material and paper products.

Second, Vandevender wants to push for the formation of more agricultural cooperatives to give smaller landowners a chance to raise cattle and grow vegetables and sell or trade them to other co-op members.

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

There is another candidate for president on the ballot in Nevada. Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson had wanted to secure the Republican nomination, but is now running as the Libertarian candidate.

On Tuesday, he spoke on the campus of University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

Speaking before a few dozen people, Johnson ran down a wide range of topics.

"I am the only candidate that doesn't want to bomb Iran," Johnson said.

"Marijuana is safer than alcohol," he added.

A recent CNN poll indicated about 4 percent of registered voters said they will vote for Johnson. With the race between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney so close, Johnson could play the role of spoiler.

"If I spoiled the election for Romney, he has one person to blame for that that would be himself. I get the statement, wasting your vote. I think wasting your vote is voting for someone you don't believe in," Johnson said.

Libertarian supporters at UNLV said Obama and Romney are just too much alike.

"They have the same sponsors, they have the same issues. Romney is the one who (provided) the idea of Obamacare in the first place," said student Adrienne Braganza.

Gary Johnson, whose Libertarian presidential bid has already spooked Republicans, might get a few Democratic voters as well thanks to his support for a sleeper issue in Florida: medical marijuana.

Johnson is expected to endorse the current effort to put a Constitutional Amendment to legalize medicinal marijuana on the Florida ballot in 2014, said Johnsons Florida political advisor, Roger Stone, a one-time GOP operative who lives in Miami Beach.

The marijuana proposal faces a series of tough challenges in Florida. And so does Johnson.

As a third-party candidate, the little-known former Republican governor of New Mexico doesnt have the name recognition or major financial support that Republican Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama enjoy.

Johnsons campaign says the system is rigged against other parties. He filed a federal lawsuit this week that claimed the Federal Election Commission owes the campaign $747,115.34 in public campaign-financing money.

The FEC declined to comment.

In August, the FEC reported that it had awarded Johnsons campaign a total of $303,751.20. The Democratic and Republican parties each received $18,248,300 for their conventions. The two major party candidates are entitled to as much as $92,241,400, Johnsons suit says.

Johnson has fought or is fighting Republicans with legal challenges to get on the ballot in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Michigan and Oklahoma. He also is suing to get into the presidential debates. The first is scheduled for next Wednesday, Oct. 3.

Mirroring Johnsons uphill struggle: The People United for Medical Marijuana committee, called PUFMM, a largely liberal group. It has raised $40,628 and spent $33,470 since 2009 to get medical marijuana on the Florida ballot. It needs 676,811 valid voter signatures but has collected just 100,000 so far, said PUFMMs Florida Chairwoman Kim Russell.

If the measure makes the ballot, it would then face the daunting requirement that it pass with 60 percent of the vote.

Posted: Sep. 25, 2012 | 5:58 p.m.

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian presidential candidate, has a new sales pitch for voters that he's bringing to a public forum Wednesday at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

"I want to make a pitch to everybody to waste their votes on me," Johnson said Tuesday in an interview. "And if everybody wastes their votes on me, I'm the next president of the United States and we'll actually address some problems."

Johnson, a former two-term governor of New Mexico and a former Republican, doesn't have a lot of good things to say about Democratic President Barack Obama or GOP challenger Mitt Romney.

If either man wins the Nov. 6 election, Johnson said, runaway federal spending will continue, budget deficits and debt will rise, American liberties will erode and the U.S. military will fight more wars, possibly with Iran.

"I am going to offer a prediction that we will find ourselves with a heightened police state and our military intervention is not going to cease," Johnson said. "Shoot first, ask questions later."

If Johnson sounds frustrated, he is. While Obama and Romney are preparing for their first debate in Denver on Oct. 3, the Libertarian candidate has sued the Presidential Debate Commission so he can take the stage, too. That's not likely to happen since the panel set rules to require a candidate to get at least 15 percent in national polls and Johnson has been polling in the single digits, when pollsters ask about his prospects at all.

So Johnson has been touring university campuses to gin up some excitement and support for his long-shot bid. He said he might record his own answers to the debate questions asked of Obama and Romney. "I don't see any difference between Obama and Romney," he said. "I would vote for the Libertarian nominee."

Johnson is scheduled to speak from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at UNLV's Student Union Courtyard, 4505 South Maryland Parkway. The event is open to the public.

Libertarian for president makes pitch to Las Vegas

Posted on September 24, 2012 in News By Kirsten Sylvain

Libertarian Vice Presidential candidate, Jim Gray, and Libertarian Maine senate candidate, Ian Dodge, spoke about their partys platforms at the Wishcamper Center last Friday.

Gray is the running mate of Libertarian presidential candidate and two-time Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson. Gray is a Navy veteran, a former federal prosecutor for the U.S. Attorneys office in Los Angeles and an Orange County Superior Court judge.

Gray and Johnson are running to win, as the candidates for the U.S.s third largest political party. Gray, who described Maine as a one-party state, as almost third-world in that regard, outlined what he called a revolution in the making. He even compared the state of the U.S. to the Roman Empire before it collapsed.

Rome was over extended and it collapsed. We are Greece. We want to balance the budget for 2013.

For Gray and Johnson, the primary idea behind their strategy is cutting government programs and a laissez-faire attitude towards business. They want to infuse the economy with competition. Planning to audit the federal government like any other private corporation and dismantle the departments of Education, Energy and Commerce, as well as the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the IRS,they would also attempt to repeal the 16th amendment, which gives the government the right to tax income. Instead, Gray proposed a consumption tax. They would also, in effect, cut most forms of government funded financial aid for college students, expecting students to fund their education through private loans.

If a student has no credit by the time theyre in college, then theyve probably done something wrong, Gray said in a private interview with the Free Press. He maintains that if all students loans were privatized, tuition rates and loan interest rates would go down significantly, taking some of the pressure off students. Students would safely be able to obtain private loans in order to fund their own educations, according to Gray.

Grays answer for Afghanistan is to bring troops home immediately, and in the future, keep troops at home until absolutely necessary. He and Johnson would also bring most military personnel stationed abroad home, closing many of the 900 to 1,000 bases overseas.

Gray also proposed completely halting government funding for Planned Parenthood and a complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The health care act would be replaced with a system of government-funded clinics for those who cannot afford to take care of themselves, and for everyone else, he suggested a catastrophic insurance plan with a $4,000 deductible.

Dodge started off the event with plans for his potential senate position, talking about voter laws. For him such laws are the active disenfranchisement of an entire group of voters who are unable to comply with the strict regulations of the laws.

Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson is on the ballot in 47 States as a Libertarian candidate for president.

Johnson's speech brought a young crowd to UT's Hogg auditorium. His visit comes a few months after Ron Paul drew hundreds to the same spot.

With Paul stepping down, many are describing this as a passing of the torch for the Libertarian Party.

"I have been given the opportunity. I am trying to make the most of it, and these are messages that are too important, Johnson said. We have a growing police state in this country, we find ourselves in continual war in this country, and we continue to have unsustainable debt and spending."

The former governor says the "broad brush" of values for a Libertarian is being socially accepting and fiscally responsible.

According to his own website, Johnson is pro-choice, anti-big government, pro-immigration and he is an outspoken critic of the war on drugs and favors legalizing marijuana.

This is his only stop in Texas, but he says Austin is a hub for forward-thinking politics. He heads to Berkley, California next.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Libertarian Party candidate for president has brought his campaign to Minnesota.

Gary Johnson, a former New Mexico governor who left the Republican Party at the end of 2011, spoke Friday at Macalester College in St. Paul as part of a nationwide college tour.

Johnson told an audience of about 150 people he would push to privatize Social Security, abolish the Federal Reserve, repeal the Patriot Act and relax the nation's drug laws.

Minnesota Public Radio reports Johnson appeared with former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura. Ventura told the audience that Johnson is the only viable alternative to President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney.

Johnson's campaign says his name will appear on the presidential ballot in all 50 states, though that is subject to legal challenges in several states.

Libertarian president candidate speaks in Minn.

Two Ravalli County Libertarian candidates recently arrested on drug charges are on the front lines of protecting life, liberty and property, according to Ravalli Countys Libertarian Party chair.

David Merrick said he remains fully supportive of Rob McCoy and Karen Fisher.

I still fully support these two candidates, Merrick said this week. They havent harmed anyone.

Both McCoy and Fisher are Libertarian candidates for state legislative seats this year.

Both were charged with felony drug counts last week after the Ravalli County sheriffs office allegedly found more than twice the legal amount of marijuana allowed a medical marijuana provider at McCoys home.

Court records said documents seized during the search indicated that Fisher and her husband, Jeffery, were involved in the marijuana grow operation found at Rob and Andrea McCoys home.

The search followed the Hamilton police departments detainment of McCoys daughter, who allegedly distributed marijuana-infused candy on a school bus.

The Libertarian Partys 2012 presidential candidate and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson has criticized the countrys war on drugs and urged the legalization and taxation of marijuana.

Merrick said property is a chief issue for the Libertarian Party and a persons own body is property. People should be able to do anything they wish, as long as its not harming anyone else.

If you dont have that property right to your own body, how can you expect to use real estate property rights or any others? Merrick said. The right to life, liberty and property needs to be protected by elected officials.
