ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (Press Release) — CNN reports that Gov. Jeb Bush and Gov. Mitt Romney are considering voting for Gov. Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate for President.
Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee, Nicholas Sarwark, says, “The Libertarian Party is delighted that Govs. Bush and Romney are considering voting for our candidates, Govs. Johnson and Weld. I think they know that Johnson and Weld are far more qualified to be President and Vice President than Trump and Pence.”
“It takes great courage for someone who has spent so many years serving the Republican Party to consider voting for a different party’s candidate for president. We applaud Govs. Bush and Romney’s courage. They don’t have to agree with us on every issue to see that our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates are clearly the best choices in this race.”
“Govs. Johnson and Weld are exceptionally well qualified and also exceptional human beings. If Americans want candidates they can be proud to vote for, and who would serve honorably and justly, they should support Govs. Johnson and Weld.
“The Libertarian Party is the only political party in America devoted to protecting all rights, of all human beings, all the time. ”

Libertarian Governors Gary Johnson and William Weld are clearly a better choice: more experienced, more reasonable and honest. I look forward to voting for them in November.

There was a time when the Republican stood for smaller government and individual freedom. The GOP is no longer the same party as the Reagan years. Small-government Republicans like me are searching for a home. In 2016, I’m supporting Libertarian candidates such as Allen Buckley in Georgia who is running for US Senate against the long-time GOP incumbent, Johnny Isakson.
I am also considering Gary Johnson and Bill Weld for the Presidential ticket.

Hope all is well, George.
