For the purposes of this poll, a political "campaign" pertains to a candidate or a ballot measure, not a general party war chest or a SuperPAC.
I won't feed the beast.

Thank you! Gary needs only $67K more for his $1 million TV as campaign. If 35% of the 90 million who said
they're not voting (as they don't like Obama or Romney) would vote for Gary Johnson, Gary would be our new President. If Gary gets at least 5% of the vote this time, Libertarian Party gets Major Party status & Gary gets $90 million for 2016 campaign, so a vote for Gary is not wasted.

IMO the TEA Party is the people who are dissatisfied with our political system. Maybe they will get a third party going or some different way of governing. I think if Romney doesn't change things the TEA Party will be back again with a vengeance and more will be voted out.

Some who think of themselves as Tea "Party" (a party that doesn't exist) are planning on voting for Gary Johnson. The Libertarian Party is the 3rd largest & fastest growing party in USA. He says to Republicans he is more fiscally conservative than Romney & he says to Democrats he is more socially tolerant than Obama. Gary Johnson sides with the majority on issues & cares about the 100% equally (no hate) & is not for sale.

Gary is $67K short of the $1 million for his TV ads. Assuming they get on the air, it could be a really close race between 3. Dr. Jill Stein (Green) may get 4th place. Gary is on the ballot in all states except MI OK.
If Gary gets over 5%, Libertarian Party becomes a Major Party & Gary gets $90 million from Feds for 2016. No more Dem/Rep duopoly!

Obama & Romney both favor more wars that will cost trillions we don't have, forced health care that is too costly & may harm us. They favor the 1% that bribed them, favor Unconstitutional Patriot Act that
allows unlimited spying on all Americans (including wiretapping churches), favor TSA radiation or groping at airports, favor Unconstitutional NDAA that allows life imprisonment for any Americans, without ever being charged with anything. If they don't represent you, please consider Gary Johnson. Thank you!

Then he will be included in polls & debates, & have plenty to spend on TV ads & radio. So a vote for Gary Johnson is in no way a wasted vote. Voting for freedom is so much better than voting lesser of 2 evils.
