Bruce Fein, the lawyer who drafted the lawsuit, hoped that a judge would see the private CPD as a gatekeeper for millions of dollars in free publicity, and its 15 percent polling threshold as a threat to the First Amendment.

You’ll also have to defend the failed record of a man who inherited his “success” – as opposed to Gary Johnson, who actually started and ran a successful construction business from scratch.
“I saw last week where they were projecting there is going to be more viewership for the first presidential debate than the Super Bowl”, Johnson said on Friday.
As a registered independent voter, Dowell said she appreciates Johnson’s approach, which emphasizes dialogue and cooperation.
The congressman said in March that he would not vote for Trump. To show just how weird some of Donald Trump’s stances have been on immigration, Johnson’s campaign released a statement on Thursday, promising not to deport the real estate mogul’s Slovenia-born wife if he’s elected president, reports The Washington Examiner. It was the second time Johnson and Weld were given the opportunity to present their campaign during prime time, and to get their numbers in the polls to 15 percent.

The CPD could shut out third party candidates by choosing which polls they use for their criteria. “The best people of the Libertarian Party”, Weld said, POLTICO reports.
Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, also has the support of former representative Tom Campbell, a Republican from California, according to his website.
“What we both like to talk about is was there anything that Hillary didn’t promise in her speech the other night”, Johnson added.
“You can’t win the presidency if you’re not in that game”, he said.
The news came amid the Green Party National Convention, which is being held this week in Houston, Texas. He thinks state and local government should have more control over schooling and advocates for school choice.
Although Rigell is now a Republican, he says that is something that could very well change. “There are aspects of what he believes that appeal to both groups”.
