A group encouraging former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson to consider pursuing the Republican nomination for President in 2012!
Gary Earl Johnson is a successful entrepreneur and two-time Republican Governor (1995-2003) of New Mexico, who came from outside of politics to defeat an incumbent Democratic Governor by a ten point margin at a time when Democrats held a two-to-one party registration advantage in the state. Gary ran both of his campaigns as 100% positive, never mentioning his opponents once.
For the full eight years of his administration, New Mexico never experienced a tax hike (previously, New Mexico had never gone more than six years without a rise in taxes), and furthermore saw taxes fall by over $120 million annually. He cut the rate of government growth in half, left the New Mexico state government with a budget surplus and 1000 fewer employees (without firing anyone), privatized half of the prisons in the state, fought for a state-wide school voucher system, oversaw the construction of 500 miles of new highway (which were designed, financed, built, and guaranteed by the private sector), shot down campaign finance reform and hate crime legislation in his state, and vetoed 750 bills (more than all the vetoes of the other 49 Governors in the country at that time, combined) with only 2 overrides, earning him the nickname Gary “Veto” Johnson.
Gary Johnson opposes the War on Drugs, opposed the Iraq War from the start, and was the only Republican Governor in 2000 to not endorse George W. Bush for President. In 2008, he was the only Republican Governor to endorse Ron Paul for President. He is also a triathlete, having scaled Mount Everest.
