Libertarian Candidate


Founded in 1971, the Libertarian Party is the biggest of the fringe political parties in the United States. The party was conceived by citizens who were disillusioned by the perceived divergence of both the Democratic and Republic party from the ideals of libertarianism of our founding fathers. While not exactly setting the world alight, the Libertarian Party is indeed punching above its weight class in the national political arena. Its registered voter base of 225,000 is among the most active in the country and currently contributes 590 office bearers in various state level positions.

The party advocates a smaller government, more individual freedom and in the words of David Boaz, of the Libertarian think tank, Cato Institute, "Libertarians defend each person's right to life, liberty, and property--rights that people have naturally, before governments are created."

Gary Johnson

Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson
The former Libertarian Republican Governor does not attend church, is pro-choice, anti-big government, pro-immigration, an outspoken critic of the war on drugs and favors legalizing marijuana. He led New Mexico for eight years, during which time the state saw no tax increase, and he vetoed over 750 separate pieces of legislation to keep the government from growing.
