Former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson is the Libertarian Party's nominee for President of the United States; his running mate is Former Governor of Massachusetts Bill Weld. In order to be competitive in the 2016 election they must be included in the presidential debates, which require them to be polling at 15% in national opinion polls. Currently, they stand at about 10%, this is primarily because they lack name recognition. Being placed on the cover of TIME magazine helped to popularize the candidacies of formerly "fringe" candidates like Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Ted Cruz. Johnson and Weld, unlike most third-party candidates, are politically experienced and ideologically moderate; they deserve the attention that TIME's cover would provide them. TIME has already featured multiple articles concerning their campaign, one was written by Johnson himself. TIME needs to properly educate American voters on all of their options, please sign this petition to send this great magazine a message.
