Editor, Register-Mail: The corrupt old parties have failed us again this year by giving us a choice between a terrible candidate and a worse one. Fortunately the old parties no longer have a monopoly. There is an alternative to voting for the lesser of two evils. Gary Johnson, a former two-term governor of New Mexico, is running for president as a Libertarian. His vice-presidential candidate, Bill Weld, was a two-term governor of Massachusetts.

While the Libertarian Party is unknown to many voters, most of us live our day to day lives by libertarian principles. Gary Johnson summed up these principles as fiscally conservative and socially don’t give a darn. Libertarians want the government to be out of your billfold and out of your bedroom. Libertarians would let you do as you please as long as you do not harm others and you don’t expect others to pay for your mistakes.

If you can’t support the candidate your old party put foreword this year and the candidate from the other party is impossible for you to consider, then take a look at Gary Johnson. When I am given a choice between two evil candidates, I refuse to waste my vote by voting for evil. Gary Johnson is not evil!

Many major newspapers such as Chicago Tribune, The Detroit News, New Hampshire Union Leader, Richmond Times-Dispatch and Winston-Salem Journal have endorsed Gary Johnson this year. I invite you to Google his name. See what others are saying about him. — Fred Johnson, Knoxville
