Gary Johnson announced that Tuesday, September 11th, the popular social media and news website, Reddit.com would be hosting its second Gary Johnson Reddit AMA event. An AMA, short for "Ask Me Anything," is a real-time, group interview format in which Internet users can pose unfiltered questions to interviewees in a comment thread on Reddit. The host of an AMA chooses which questions to answer, but there is no moderator f

He is currently on the November ballot in several states. As a new political party, the Justice Party does not have as many followers as other third parties. This puts them at a disadvantage in terms of ballot access. According to the chairman of the Connecticut Independent Party, Mike Telesca, it is an uphill battle to be seen nationally as a third

For the past two weeks, the Gary Johnson campaign schedule included multiple stops and events in the neighboring areas surrounding each party's convention. This past week's Democratic National Convention, held in Charlotte, North Carolina, began on Tuesday. Taking advantage of the political atmos

Guatemala - Mexico border.

About 200 Marines are there with the express permission of the Guatemala government. However, some question whether our Constitution permits such an agreement. In mid-July, the Guatemalan government signed what news reports and officials described as a “treaty” with the Obama administrati

I will be voting for Gary Johnson. In this election, even more so than in other elections, the two establishment candidates could not be more alike on crucial issues. Yet, the refrain from conservative pundits such as Limbaugh, Beck, Boortz, and others is that votes for Libertarian Party candidate and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson will effectively seal the reelection of Barack Obama, their chief opponent, while Romney, the man they all support and intend to vote for, is similar in many

The first part of this story covered the up-and-coming Republicans who are likely to run in 2016, should Gov. Romney lose. This covers the Democrats. If President Obama wins re-election, these 10 Democrats can hypothetically be the next Democratic presidential candidate. Some of these names may not currently carry national attention, but they are the future of the Democratic Party. Some have family ties (Clinton, Cuomo), close relationships with past presidents (Biden, Emanuel), while others mad

Fest, Republican politics, the presidential debates, and the general election. With no shortage of good humor, Gov. Johnson is clearly riding a wave of adrenaline and momentum from this past weekend’s events in Tampa, Florida. Gary Johnson Interview: Craig Schlesinger: What was your impression of P.A.U.L. Fest with re

The 2012 campaign has largely been about the state of the economy and Republicans and Democrats trading body blows over partisan politics. Despite an ongoing war in Afghanistan and clamoring calls for intervention in Syria's increasingly nasty civil war, the focus of candidates Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney on foreign policy and defense has been light. This may be smart politics in a tight election contest where every misstep hurts and voters are concerned about jobs and pocketbook issue

(Photo: zazzle.com Third party candidates have had a notoriously difficult road in America. Many supporters of former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson have objected to the black out treatment their man has received from the mainstream media despite respectable poll numbers in his native state. The coverage of the Constitution Party's Virgil Goode has mostly been relegated to the notion that the former congressman might siphon enough of the vote in his native Virginia and neighboring North Caro

The United Nations Gun Control Monument in New York City Like never before in the history of reporting numbers, definitions and connotations are being thrown around in an irresponsible fashion. However, the common denominator for the loose lips and definitions is now becoming increasingly clear. Anything goes for gun control. Today's reporting on the subject has turned gun control into a lightning match with numbers. Titles and articles are riddled with holes filled with missing facts and half
