Friends,



We got their attention.

Since announcing my decision yesterday to seek the Libertarian Party nomination for president, our campaign has been featured on CNN, Fox, CBS, MSNBC, and, according to one media monitoring service, more than 200 other television newscasts across the country. Stories have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Washington Post and virtually every other major newspaper. Even the BBC covered the announcement extensively.

Reuters published this:"Johnson seeks Libertarian Nomination For President."

In the Washington Times: “Johnson Announces Libertarian Bid”

And from the CBS Political Hotsheet:. “Gary Johnson Launches Libertarian Presidential Bid”

There are hundreds more national stories – just Google me. But the message is clear. Even the elite media who didn’t want me seen or heard in the Republican nomination process are having to admit that we have an Agenda Americans are ready to support – and that is not to be found among either the Democrat or Republican presidential candidates.

From the response to yesterday’s news conference, it is absolutely clear that believers in freedom and liberty all across America are ready. Ready to join us in making our voices heard and mounting a very real and serious challenge to the tired two-party system.

But as big as yesterday’s announcement was, it is only the opening shot. In the days and weeks ahead, I will be traveling to every corner of the nation to mobilize a campaign that will offer another option to the majority of Americans who are not finding a real home in today’s political “ruling class”.

Together, we have created a moment of opportunity. And together, we must seize it. Please go to Donate today and make sure we have the financial resources we need to fuel the flame we have ignited this week.

Offering America an option in the 2012 election who will actually cut government – both its spending and its intrusion into our personal lives – is too important. As even the media is figuring out, this is an historic time and opportunity to shake the status quo as it has not been shaken in a generation. Your support has created this moment – it is now up to us to make it truly historic.

Please show your support today.

It is tremendously gratifying to have partners such as yourself in this great endeavor. We have come a very long way, and 2012 is going to be amazing. I’m excited and energized as we launch this next phase of a campaign the likes of which America has never seen.

In Liberty

Gary
