Commission on Presidential Debates
Dear Members of the Commission:
On behalf of the 6% of likely voters nationwide who plan to vote for the Libertarian Presidential Ticket of Governor Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray this November 6th (Polled 9/21 by Princeton Survey Research International),
On behalf of the 2% to 10.6% of likely voters polled in the razor-close Tipping Point States of New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, and Colorado -- who plan to vote for Libertarian Presidential candidate, 2-Term Governor Gary Johnson,
On behalf of the 26,192 individuals (as of 10/1/12) who signed the petition for you to include Libertarian Presidential candidate, Governor Gary Johnson in the Presidential Debates with Democratic Presidential candidate, President Barack Obama and Republican Presidential candidate, Governor Mitt Romney,
2-Term Governor Gary Johnson is Qualified to be Included in these Presidential Debates
Successful entrepreneur, business executive and leader who created 1,000 private sector jobs.
Two-term governor. Re-elected by voters of New Mexico. Neither Mitt Romney nor Barack Obama has been re-elected.
Has 8 years chief executive experience in government
-- as much as Mitt Romney and Barack Obama combined.
As governor, he vetoed over 750 unnecessary bills -
more than all other governors combined. Only two vetoes were overridden. This
saved taxpayers billions of dollars.
Is already on the ballot in 48 states plus D.C. and is challenging the last two states for ballot access in federal court.
25-Year Superior Court Judge Jim Gray is Qualified to be Included in the Vice-Presidential Debate:

JAG Defense Attorney in the US Navy
25-year California Superior Court Judge
Champions the cause of legalizing marijuana,
re-classifying it the same as wine and beer
Relevant: Libertarian Presidential Candidate Governor
Gary Johnson’s votes in one or more of the key Tipping Point States – New
Hampshire(4), Virginia(13), North Carolina(15), Florida(29), Ohio(18), Iowa(6),
Nevada(6), and Colorado(9) – could shift as many as 100 Electoral Votes this
November 6th …and could determine the outcome of the 2012 Presidential
Election.
Shouldn’t the voters in these 8 Tipping Point states get the opportunity to compare and contrast Libertarian Presidential candidate Governor Gary Johnson against the republican and Democratic Presidential candidates in the nationally-televised Presidential debates – BEFORE they decide who to vote for?
Most Americans need an Electron Microscope to find real differences between most actions and policies of President Obama and Governor Romney.
Excluding Libertarian Presidential candidate Governor Gary Johnson from the Presidential Debates guarantees that real differences don’t get debated. For example:
Federal Spending:
Both Obama and Romney will add $1.2 Trillion more to the federal debt in their first year alone. President Gary Johnson will cut spending in Year One by 43% to balance the budget.
Bailouts:
Obama and Romney supported bailouts for banks, corporations, foreign governments and state governments. President Gary Johnson will veto all bailouts.
Medical Insurance:
Obama will preserve, protect and expand Obamacare. Romney will replace it with Romneycare. President Gary Johnson will repeal Obamacare completely and return medical choices to families and doctors.
Foreign Intervention:
Romney and Obama will keep 550,000 U.S. troops stationed in foreign countries and drag on the war in Afghanistan. President Gary Johnson will radically draw down U.S. troops in foreign countries and immediately bring our troops home from Afghanistan.
Drug War:
Obama and Romney will continue the failed Marijuana Prohibition.
President Gary Johnson will end the Prohibition and free the many who suffer from cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, migraines, and other serious disease to seek relief from pain and disability.
What if you put on a Presidential Debate and nobody watches? That’s the direction you’re headed by excluding qualified candidates like 2-Term Governor Gary Johnson.
10 million to 20 million fewer Americans will watch your 2012 debates than the 2008 debates – UNLESS you include the other qualified Presidential candidate, Libertarian 2-Term New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. Why? His viewpoint and proposals are dramatically different from Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. He attracts a different segment of American voters. He brings in new viewers to the debates.
Do the right thing, the good thing, the smart thing:
