Gary Johnson continues his long shot against-the-odds campaign for the U.S. presidency, with a new internet ad that hits hard on the issue of war and peace. <\/p>\n
The new ad for the Libertarian Party candidate is so simple and direct, that it's almost staggering in today's political climate. <\/p>\n
Its the stuff politicos call \"red meat\". <\/p>\n
The ad does a slow pull from a crowd of people and tilts its perspective to reveal the peace symbol - the image that galvanized the antiwar movement in Johnson's own youth more than 40 years ago. <\/p>\n
It's an unmistakable message that reverberates with millions of Americans - yet you won't see it in the mainstream campaigns of Democrats and Republicans. <\/p>\n
It's a message Johnson has stuck with since his switch from republican to Libertarian last December, and his successful quest for that party's presidential nomination. <\/p>\n
\"I'm doing this today because this is agenda that I think resonates with most Americans,\" Johnson said in his formal Libertarian announcement last December. \"It's an agenda that's not being addressed by either political party.\" <\/p>\n
In fact Johnson was anti-war while he was running for the Republican nomination last year, and even came out against the American invasion of Iraq while he was still governor of New Mexico. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
