Gary Johnson
Gary Johnson is a former New Mexico Governor running as the Libertarian candidate for President in the November 2016 Election.
He promotes term limits, wants to keep the government out of the Internet, likes government involvement in protecting the environment, but not in manipulating the marketplace. He opposes common core, wants to eliminate the federal Department of Education, takes a middle of the road position on abortion, and beyond wanting to end the war on drugs, he more explicitly wants Marijuana to be legal like alcohol (but not other drugs).[1]
He says that the government should force Christian bakers to make wedding cakes for gays when requested and force Jewish bakers to make Nazi themed cakes when requested.[2][3]
He is generally against gun control, but has expressed openness to measure to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill and has expressed openness to a discussion about keeping guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists.[4][5][6][7]
