Libertarian Candidate Johnson: Just 'Say No To Government'

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee for president in 2012, tells Newsmax the overriding theme of his White House candidacy is: “Say no to government.”

Johnson believes the United States should abolish the income tax and the IRS, end the war in Afghanistan and the war on drugs, cut tax loopholes and eliminate the jobs of half the lobbyists in Washington.

He also calls for a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in the country and the legalization of marijuana to stamp out violence along the U.S.-Mexican border.

Johnson served as Republican governor from 1995 to 2003, and sought the GOP presidential nomination in this election cycle. He withdrew from the race in December and won the Libertarian nomination on May 5.
