Get Gary Johnson Into Debates Moneybomb
Submitted by TrevorDarden on Wed, 07/11/2012 - 21:02Let's put Gov. Gary Johnson on the national debate stage!
You know the story. The elite national news media and the Establishment-created Commission on Presidential Debates have rigged the game to try to limit this fall’s presidential debates to only the Democrat Barack Obama, and the Republican Mitt Romney.
They have rigged the debates by picking a number out of the air and declaring that a presidential candidate must have at least 15 percent support in a sample of national polls that – you guessed it – they choose.
Never mind that one out of three Americans don’t consider themselves to be either Republicans or Democrats, or that, in poll after poll, a sizable percentage of voters say they would seriously consider a ‘third party’ candidate.
And never mind that their arbitrary and unfair polling requirement might exclude from the debates a successful two-term governor who will likely be on the ballot in all 50 states.
If you agree that this debate-rigging is just plain wrong, go to www.garyjohnson2012.com and do something about it. Give Gov. Johnson a podium by joining our “15% in the Polls” Money Bomb.
The two-party establishment doesn’t want Gov. Gary Johnson in the debates for one simple reason: They don’t really want to have debates. They don’t really want to give a national microphone to a candidate who will challenge business-as-usual. And if they succeed in keeping Gov. Johnson off the stage, they will get exactly what they want.
What they want is a “debate” between two candidates who will argue over which government health care program is better, Obamacare or Romneycare. They don’t want to hear from a candidate who will actually scrap the job-killing tax code. What they want is a Republican and a Democrat who will just quibble about how to tinker with the existing system that lets them hand out subsidies and benefits to their friends.
Without Gov. Johnson on the debate stage, there will be NO debate about wars. Mitt Romney and Barack Obama both support foreign intervention. There will be NO debate about civil liberties. Just a Democrat and a Republican who both support the Patriot Act, who both will continue the failed War on Drugs, and neither of whom will defend marriage equality as a constitutional right.
If you want REAL debates, go to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and make a contribution that will put Gov. Johnson on the stage.
America deserves – and wants – to see real presidential debates. With enough financial support, we can make sure that Gov. Johnson has an opportunity to deliver a message of true liberty, real freedom and financial sanity. Help him show America that there really is a choice in this election.
The goal of our Money Bomb, starting today, is to raise $10,000 for every percentage point in the polls we need in order to put a podium on the stage for Gov. Johnson. Help make sure we do just that! Go to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and make a contribution.
Your support is the key. We can do this.
Thank you,

Please dont post
This divide and conquer dribble here on DP. This website is for Ron Paul, any questions ?
why aren't Paul supporters trolling the Daily Johnson?
Isn't Gary the same guy that said he would keep our troops in the middle east and continue to send foreign aid to Isreal.
Neo Fiscal Conservatism, gotta love it.
There's no one on Johnson's
There's no one on Johnson's grassroots site to troll. They are all here trying to drum up support and take our money.
Blessings )o(
why ?
so he can prattle on about the "cost-benefit analysis" of the drug war ??
and do we have to call him Johnson ?:

Gary who?
Oh, yeah, that guy who was too sorry to make it anywhere as a Republican candidate, so, he moved down to the minor leagues.
I don't know about you
but I'm only a republican because I need to be to vote for Ron.
$101,025.00 raised from 1236 donors
The Get Gary Johnson Into the Debates Moneybomb has now gone over the $100,000 level. Thank you to everyone who has donated. The goal is $150,000. See: www.garyjohnson2012.com
..
yea but the GJ campaign is 1.5m in debt!
lol
what about the debt?
lololol
Ron Paul would NEVER run his campaign in debt nor would he borrow to keep it afloat.
GJ is not conservative and can not win without a conservative campaign strategy.
"OH NO! He has a SON?" Neoconservatives and Liberals EVERYWHERE!
Rand Paul 2016
Great Price for Johnson Sticker & Posters
Campaign Finance information through December 31, 2011, according to the Federal Elections Commission as of January 31, 2012: $203,761.01
Since that time Gary has started receiving a much higher level of contributions as people realize that he will be on the ballot in November against Romney and Obama.
Perhaps you heard that $1.5 million figure when it was announced that a donor had given $1 million to the Liberty and Freedom PAC to boost the Johnson campaign and the $150,000 donated to the Libertarian Action Super PAC, where by the way you can get a very inexpensive price for Johnson posters, door know hangers and bumper stickers. See: http://laspac.org
I gave all to Ron Paul, sorry Gary Johnson
your not 1/2 the man of Ron Paul!
Gold standard: because man can not be trusted to control his greed
Sickened.
This post has 39 negative votes - presumably from Paul supporters.
I just cannot understand it.
Most of their positions are similar - if not the same.
Yet, supposed liberty supporters won't even consider Gary Johnson.
You'll donate everything to one liberty supporter, but won't even donate a little to a different but similar liberty supporter - even if he is asking for a small fraction of what Ron Paul's campaign ever asked for, and even if it is a small fraction of Jesse Benton's earnings from the campaign.
"I suspect a Romney insurgency here to divide the libertarian vote.
Don't fall for it!
If you want Gary Johnson in debates, donate AFTER the GOP convention!
Wait till Ron is officially out of the race!"
Things like this are written. Do you seriously think that Romney has enough activists to go screw around on the Daily P.AU.L? Do you REALLY think that Romney supporters are pushing Gary Johnson (who will be on the ballot)? Do you really think that waiting until the home stretch to donate is a smart strategy? Here's some money Gary - too bad you don't have time to spend it effectively! Too bad you won't be able to spend it to get yourself into debates because fellow libertarians were too slow to support you.
I am a Ron Paul supporter/libertarian through and through.
Yet, I'd ask you to think ahead. Why would you wait to support Gary Johnson? EVEN IF Ron Paul wins the nomination, AND Gary Johnson makes it into the debates, don't you think it would be amazing for 2 libertarians to gang up on the communist for the whole country to see?
“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”
Yes I do think the Romney
supporters would try to start a Johnson vs. Paul battle among libertarians.
For the exact reason you state here.
"Most of their positions are similar - if not the same.
Yet, supposed liberty supporters won't even consider Gary Johnson."
I don't understand it either.
The only legitimate reason I get for the dislike of Johnson is that Ron Paul is not officially out of the running yet!
Adding to the fire are supposed Johnson "supporters", pretty much spamming this site with donation totals that obviously piss off the Ron Paul or nobody crowd.
I agree with you that we need unity among the liberty voters if any progress will ever be made but you can't expect ALL the Paul supporters to be ready to abandon all the work they put into obtaining delegates to the convention.
We watched Gary very closely and kickstarterd his campaign
he turned around and spit on Ron Paul quite a few times on his website,in interviews and campaign videos. He is scum you just missed it but we didn't.
If Gary was any kind of a real honest person he would have told Paul that he will bow out and let Ron take his place like RJ Harris said he would publicly had he won the nomination. Thats who we should have given huge support to as a backup. We choked.
November 6th 2012 I voted for Dr.Ron Paul

I guarantee Ron Paul would
I guarantee Ron Paul would crush Obama with Johnson as his wingman.
Ron Paul did 3-4 times as well this year as compared to 2008 and I believe at least some of that comes from Johnson supporting his message.

Paul would never team up with that jerk and you know it since I saw an earlier comment by you acknowledging that you know Ron will not endorse Gary any longer.

Well, you're partly right. I
Well, you're partly right. I think Ron Paul won't support Gary Johnson, even though Gary Johnson supported Ron Paul AT Ron Paul's request in 2008 and has supported him ever since.
But I would like to think he will do the honorable thing. I hold it out as a hope because only a dishonorable person would do anything else.
And let's look at it seriously. Gary Johnson has done nothing but support Ron Paul, has never said an unkind word about him, actually said "I worship Ron Paul" just the other day, tried very hard to help him get the nomination in 2008, campaigning for him and flew to Houston to PERSONALLY ask for his support (assuming he wasn't going to run again), only to have the door slammed in his face.
So who is what?

Come Back AFTER TAMPA Kid...

Until then RON PAUL....PERIOD!

Think ahead!
“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”
Don't fall for this tactic!
True libertarians and most Gary Johnson supporters would vote for Ron Paul if he is on the ballot.
The Gary Johnson posts here are making it certain that he doesn't get any Paul support, even if Paul doesn't get the nomination.
I suspect a Romney insurgency here to divide the libertarian vote.
Don't fall for it!
If you want Gary Johnson in debates, donate AFTER the GOP convention!
Wait till Ron is officially out of the race!
I will vote for Johnson if Paul is not on the ballot but there are forces attempting to make sure the Ron Paul voters are mad enough at Gary Johnson voters to stay home in November, JUST OUT OF SPITE. Even if they agree with him 90% of the time.
DON'T FALL FOR THESE DIVISIVE TACTICS!!!!
You are correct. I'm from
You are correct. I'm from the Republican Party and we need to stop Gary Johnson from syphoning off Romney votes. The more damage we can do to Gary Johnson and his wacky "liberty" theories, the better.
Please vote for Mitt Romney in November.

I wasn't really refering to you Ashman
But you missed the point.
You're posts and some others that I find worse are pissing off the Ron Paul or nobody people here.
If the Johnson supporters would have stayed low key until the GOP convention, you would could have probably gotten a bunch of new supporters.
Instead you and some Paul supporters would rather argue about 1 or 2 differences until there is no way they can vote for Johnson.
I think it is damaging to the Johnson campaign and the liberty movement.
True that!

John, you are one of those
using the divisive tactics, he is refering to, when it comes to trying to divide this movement.
You attack Ron Paul all the time, you have no understanding of his economic theory and continue to attack it, knowing all along that it is the MAIN issue we have, and is the CORE of this liberty movement, IF you do not have freedom within the Economy, you do not have Freedom.
Dont try and piss in my pocket and tell me its raining.
Here are John Ashman's thoughts on what Ron Paul teaches us all about Austrian economics and the control the Fed has over the Market through its monetary policy.
"Yes, I understand your intellectualized anarchy disguised as fake economics crap. Praxology, all of that. It's all just rationalization for no government and to heck with scientific observation and feedback.
Austrian School is to economics what Scientology is to religion.
I think you've been somewhere between uneducated and miseducated all of your life." -John Ashman
http://www.dailypaul.com/245290/poll-vote-up-if-you-want-to-...
He wants to dictate to you how to live your life, he does not believe in the free market, and likes government intervention.
John Ashman is no friend to Liberty. I would guess that he is probably not even a Gary Johnson supporter the way he tries to shove him down peoples throats and attacks Ron Paul continuously.
No, it's not that, it's just
No, it's not that, it's just that as an Australian non-voter who keeps telling other people they are dumb or uneducated for taking REAL economics courses instead of reading something on the internet, I really don't care for you.
Nothing personal.

good at making up things and dishing out Ad hominum attacks John.
Must be because I'm so
Must be because I'm so "uneducated".
Aside from this, I have a policy to not have political discussions with foreigners.
Nothing personal, have a good life.

Someone Donated Over $30,000 to Gary Johnson in Last Few Hours
as his moneybomb total indicated. See www.garyjohnson2012.com Thank you generous and committed donor!
That's illegal
You are only allowed to donate up to $2500 per candidate in an election. So either you're lying, or Johnson is breaking the rules.

You're Right, Maybe there were 12 people donating $2,500 each
You are correct Anna and a sharp cookie. Yes, there must have been about 12 people donating $2,500 each. Thanks for the assistance.
This is unacceptable to me.
This is unacceptable to me. I supported Paul despite not agreeing with him on certain issues, such as his pro-life stance.
If you people are going to turn your back on other libertarian candidates, why should I continue to support your man?
