Gary Johnson Vote Gary Johnson and not Obama,Romney or write in Ron Paul

[tuggy24g]

Just hear me out first

As most of us are pissed or and angry at how the Republicans treated us and Ron Paul. We are all angry at how Ron Paul did not get what he deserves the most and that is a speaking spot at the convention. We are also pissed off at how Romney campaign did voter fraud and delegate disqualification. I know a lot of us are not going to vote Republican again for a long time unless it is someone worthy to fight for.

Now here is what I propose and please hear me out. Ron Paul people have been fight the establishment this whole election cycle. We worked with Ron Paul to show people how bad the Republicans were including Obama. We also helped educate people on what a free market is and sound money is. How we should go back to the gold standard and how we can get gas prices down. We also learned that one man can work hard and actually get an Audit the Fed bill through the white house and even get it voted. The things we worked for and still accomplished a ton!!!

Now what I think we should do is have all Ron Paul supporters vote Gary Johnson. Doing so will show the Republicans that what you did to us this election cycle we will not have. We are pissed off and not going to take it anymore. If we can get Gary Johnson good votes in each state that could (as the Republicans and Democrats say) sway the election then maybe the parties might think twice about pissing us off. The vote will mean something more and anger Republicans and Democrats so much.

Writing in Ron Paul's name is good and all, but the vote will just get thrown away. I understand you want to show a message that Ron Paul is are only choice for president and no one else. I would do the same thing, but why not make a bigger message. Why not go out and vote Johnson and say see guys you f%^& with us and this is what you get. There are states that are trying to get the Libertarian party off the ballot like Pennsylvania. So why not vote for Johnson to show that you are not going to take it away more if the GOP and Dems do not even what him as a choice in November. Also I know some of what Gary Johnson ideas, plains, and basically what he would do as president a lot might not agree with. Still voting for Gary Johnson will have a much bigger impact then ever I think.

How about you vote your conscious and i'll vote mine.


Does that tickle your GJ fancy?

Besides, this doesn't belong in grassroots.

You know, the Daily Paul may be your place for this, as there's a GJ thread every 5 minutes for the last 6 months over there.

The GOP will only understand the impact Dr. Paul supporters have on this election if we gather forces and 'protest' vote for Gary Johnson! After November we need to regroup and begin to work for our 2016 presidential candidate. I am not sold on Rand at this point in time (sorry Cory C.).

He almost had me but pro-abortion Johnson is no Ron Paul.

That is perfectly said!! I know people might disagree, but listen if we work to get a third party candidate a lot of votes in each state then we can show them that we will not take your BS every election cycle. You either work with us or we will work to destroy your chances to win! Kind of like people saying they are going to vote Obama and 4 years of him is better then 8 of Romney. Gary Johnson is more like us then Mitt Bama

I wrote in Ron's name in the previous election (my first time voting ever). I have no problem writing his name in again.

and i will be here making sure you have gary banners ifi have to buy them. There will be gary threads here until the gop is held accountable with romney getting crushed! This is a promise to you. Colorado will deliver votes for Gary johnson. romney has already lost swing state colorado! I will do everything in my activism power to make sure romney/rnc and the gop est is exposed to voters!

 

[Luieburger]

Gary had my vote as soon as Ron Paul stopped campaigning. Gary needs to get 15% in the polls so that he can be on the stage for the debates. I support him 100%.

I understand why you would want to write in Ron Paul. If ron paul is not a certified write-in candidate. Then your vote will not be counted unless you happen to live in a state that counts uncertified write-ins. I am not aware of any state that does count uncertified write-ins. Please consider voting for a certified candidate even if it is not gary johnson. I hope this info might get you to consider voting for GJ2012, I would love to see ron paul join GJ ticket. I can dream never say never. bottom line hold the corrupt rnc,romney and gop accountable by voting for a certified candidate not obamney! edit salingaway says 42 states allow write-ins, so do it if you like but 15% can get gary on the debate stage and if ron paul is vp him as well! talk about kick ass for liberty ron and gary on debate stages.

How many vote is a number they have and report.

The total that vote for those on the ballot is also counted. The difference is those who voted in a presidential election yet rejected all the names on the ballot. It is a vote of no confidence imho, and much better reflects my own beliefs.

However in 42 states you can have write in candidates, and I expect to be able to write in Ron Paul as an official candidate in CA and have it count....

All assuming he isn't pissed enough at how even more closed to grass roots candidates the single party system is becoming, to take his $39 million (or whatever it is) in matching funds and run as an independent. Getting in the debates is what matters, in that case, not getting on all of the ballots.

But each of us will vote as they feel most comfortable.

now that would truly be a KICK IN THE BALLS to the corrupt rnc/romney and gop. The Liberty Movement would expose obamney live on stage! Imagine ron paul as the vp in the vp debates. NEVER SAY NEVER, Johnson/Paul 2012

holds rpf hands and says pray with me, Paul/Johnson or Johnson/Paul never say never let me dream!!!!!! I want us to hit the 15% or higher mark and we will have both our candidates on debate stages biden,paul/paul debate. If it could be done legally? hire some lawyers like romney and make it legal Paul/Johnson 2012, gary has said he would do this before LET US PRAY. 2016 will be too late!!

actually, I think New Hampshire and a number of other states count ALL write ins. Regardless, the difference between those who vote and those who vote for named presidential candidates is a number we can spread around, it isn't as if they report on third party candidates that much.

I'm not trying to talk anyone out of voting for Johnson or for anyone else, but for those who WOULD prefer to write in Ron, such as myself, I have to say that I disagree with this reasoning, and think that if you DO bother to vote, the fact that you refused to eat the dog food they gave you would be on record.

boom goes the dynamite. 15% on the debate stage and if ron paul join the ticket top or bottom. Then we would have 2 candidates on the debate stages imagine gary or ron debating paul ryan,joe biden,obmaney(obama/romney) We need to encourage ron paul to join the ticket and get both of them on the debate stages! That would move the liberty further then writing in ron paul and get 1%-4%. We have a chance to propel a Johnson ticket or a Paul/Johnson ticket, hire lawyers like romney make it legal!

i adjusted my post above, but can you get 15% write-ins for ron paul? probably not. We have a chance to get on the national debate stage with gary johnson and ron paul if we can get ron paul to join the ticket. I just think the Liberty movement can move forward faster with a vote for Gary Johnson and poll to get him on the debate stage with 15% then writiing in ron paul who will not be on a debate stage unless he joins gary somehow,hire lawyers seems to be romney's key What will have more impact. i think we all know the answer it is not romney or obama or writing in a candidate that will not be on the debate stage unless he runs indy or joins a ticket.

i want us to have the biggest bang for the buck and our activism! just poll for gary, then do whatever on election day. but i think if we polled to get gary on debate stage. i think i know what we would all do if we got him on the stage!

The Mittens campaign has obviously given up on getting the liberty / Tea Party vote. They're hoping at this point you'll do something like sit at home or vote for Gary Johnson or Ron Paul. Honestly, they lose nothing that way because they always figured that as a group we were lost.

If you want to give the Mittens campaign a kick in the balls, AND more importantly keep the slate open in 2016 for an Amash / Paul or Paul / Amash ticket, everyone needs to vote for Obama. Period. Just look at the numbers: A conservative count of the RP / Liberty faction of the GOP is about 10% nationwide. That means that if as a block we shift to supporting Obama we move the total percentage about 5%. Think about how many swing states can be denied to Romney if there is a 5% swing in the popular vote! As a group, we can pretty much guarantee that Romney will not be elected. Right now, that is my #1 goal. GJ is not going to be president, so it's down to Obama and Romney. I have reasons to want to see Romney lose, even if I don't have any reasons to see Obama win.

Please give this serious consideration.

Agreed.

As far as we here are concerned, Ron Paul is still a candidate for president.

It's all about the electoral college!

seriously? please wake up. I love to dream but come on. I pleaded for folks to help get ron paul certified in colorado ,yet rpf/dp ignored now you say this? ron paul is not running unless he runs indy or joins gary ticket. wake up. i do love to dream though. just poll for gary to get him at 15% then you can vote for mickey mouse or ron paul on nov 6th.

folks it is real simple here poll for gary and vote for jfk for all icare on nov 6th but if we can get gary on the debate stage. i think everyone will see the light! polling for gary to get on the debate stage has nothing to do with the electoral college.

I am part of the grassroots ,so yes getting folks to vote for gary and get him polled on a debate stage is grassroots activism at it's best

this is right where it needs to be. ps colorado will not count write-ins so scratch that off your electoral college.

I am going to Vote for GJ, I am not insisting anyone else does. In my opinion is he not only "the best we have" but he is a pretty good candidate, has strong values and supports Ron Paul himself! I feel with what we just been through GJ its a miracle we have someone like GJ runing, its a pretty lucky scenario if one looks at it the right way.

The establishment takes out Ron Paul, in my opinion: Voting for GJ not only satisfies my conscience but will show the powers that be; that for most of us, its about the message and not the man. I know its a stupid Fantasy but if GJ was to somehow get RP as his VP I would be excited and happy to vote for that ticket.

I have seen GJ put on the spot before and thought he handled himself pretty well.
