" Governor Gary Johnson is a candidate who fits the bill perfectly. Johnson supports fundamental tax reform and believes we should scrap the current tax code, like Herman Cain, but replace it with the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax, a national sales tax, would get the government out of picking winners and losers. The Fair Tax would unleash the entrepreneurial power of the American economy."
"Governor Johnson takes spending seriously. He is offering a plan, which would immediately end Washington’s addiction to money it does not have, slashing spending 43% in his first year in office."
"Governor Johnson is also an outspoken advocate for truly limiting the power of the federal government."

    "In his two terms as Governor of New Mexico, where he managed to cut an unsustainable 10% annual growth in the state budget by vetoing a record number of spending bills, Gary Johnson has shown he has the executive ability needed to change Washington. As a policymaker, his independent libertarian vision looks beyond narrow left right divisions, consistently championing both economic and personal liberties. I endorse Gary Johnson because he has proven that he can craft a real platform for reform and successfully implement it, a rare and powerful combination in a third party candidate."

    " The leadership of the Libertarian Party of Utah is excited to announce our official endorsement of Gary Johnson for the LP presidential candidacy. We believe that Governor Johnson's experience sets him apart, and that he will best carry the torch of liberty in the 2012 election."

    "We are thrilled that a candidate with a proven record of protecting civil liberties and fiscal responsibility is available to Libertarians in 2012. It is just icing on the cake that Governor Johnson not only has more executive experience than any of the other candidates running for the office of President of the United States, but he has been a very successful small business owner to boot. Gary Johnson for President proves that Americans are no longer slaves to the lesser of two evils!" - Jake Shannon, Utah LP Chairman
