Judge Gray made an unprecedented move in 1992 by coming out against the drug war as a sitting judge in Orange County, California. He and Gov. Johnson actually co-star in a documentary entitled American Drug War: The Last White Hope (2007), along with other prominent political figures such as Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Judg...

Photo: Gage Skidmore Governor Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray are making the rounds at colleges across America, delivering their message of liberty to twenty campuses apiece in what the Libertarian Party ticket is billing as Gary Johnson's "Waste Your Vote" college tour.

Photo: Gage Skidmore There is no shortage of love lost between CNN and the libertarian presidential candidate, former two term New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, nor is it a secret. The cable news network continues to remain a thorn in his side (for about a year now), carefully and quietly excluding Johnson from its polling. One small ray of hope emerged on August 29, 2011 when CNN finally included him in their bi-weekly national poll. Apparently Gov. Johnson polled a bit too high at 2%, and his nam...
