The Naked Truth.






Gary Earl Johnson is an American businessman, politician and the Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2016 election. He served as the 29th Governor of New Mexico as a member of the Republican Party. He was also the Libertarian Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.

Johnson announced his candidacy for president on April 21, 2011, as a Republican, on a libertarian platform emphasizing the United States public debt and a balanced budget in the federal government, protection of civil liberties, military non-interventionism, his advocacy of the FairTax and opposition to the War on Drugs.

 On January 6, 2016, Johnson announced his candidacy for the Libertarian nomination in 2016,[5] and in May he selected former Republican Governor of Massachusetts William Weld as his running mate. On May 29, 2016, Johnson won the Libertarian nomination on the second ballot with 55.8% of the delegates.

Johnson outlined his non-interventionist foreign policy thinking as well, arguing against military campaigns with "unintended consequences" that make the world "less safe." He also voiced concern about the dozens of treaties "where we are obligated to defend [other countries'] borders, and none of those treaties have been authorized by Congress."

This is only the beginning.  Just a thought.
