What does Gary Johnson Fight For?

Implement Term Limits

• Run for office, spend a few years doing the job at hand, and then return to private life.
• That’s what Gary Johnson did as Governor, and that’s what Senators and Representatives should do.

Taxes and Budget

• Balance the Budget
• Create a FAIR tax system that eliminates all loopholes

Foreign Policy and National Defense

• Reduce Military Spending
• refocus U.S. efforts and resources to attack the real threats we face in a strategic, thoughtful way.
• Cut off the millions of dollars that are flowing into the extremists’ coffers every day.
• Relationships with strategic allies must be repaired and reinforced.
• “More boots on the ground” and dropping more bombs must be replaced with strategies that will isolate and ultimately neuter those who would, if able, destroy the very liberties on which this nation is founded.

Job Creation

• Gary has The best “job creation” record of all the former governors running for President.
• Government’s role is to create and maintain a regulatory and tax environment in which private job-creators can prosper.
• Government regulation should only exist to protect citizens from bad actors and the harm they might do to health, safety and property.

Imigration

• a bigger fence will only produce taller ladders and deeper tunnels, and that the flow of illegal immigrants across the border is not a consequence of too little security, but rather a legal immigration system that simply doesn’t work.
• Aspiring immigrants would undergo a background check, pay taxes and provide proof of employment. Making it simpler and efficient to enter the U.S. legally will provide the greatest security possible

##Criminal Justice Reform

• Politicians have “criminalized” far too many aspects of people’s personal lives.
• Mandatory minimum sentences have removed common-sense discretion from judges and prosecutors.

Internet Freedom and Security

• Against government regulation and intrusion into the Internet
• Against a government “kill switch” and recently-passed "Cyber Security" legislation
• Against special “back doors” into encrypted, private information held and moved by Internet providers.
• For freedom and innovation — not regulation.

Education

• Opposes Common Core and any other attempts to impose national standards and requirements on local schools.
• The key to restoring education excellence in the U.S. lies in the innovation, freedom and flexibility that federal interference inherently discourages.

Personal Freedoms

• LGBT Rights
• Legalize Weed
• Gun Rights
• Abortion Rights

Gary Johnson believes government should be truly limited — limited in the way the Founders envisioned. Responsible adults should be free to marry whom they want, arm themselves if they want, make their own decisions about their bodies, and lead their personal lives as they see fit — as long as no harm is done to others. And they should be able to do so without unconstitutional scrutiny by the NSA, the ATF, the DEA or any other government agency.
