Dear Editor
The government is dominated by two political parties. The problems of today will not be diminished by sending more of them to Washington. Let’s hire a 3rd party team, Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, to solve problems using Liberty principles. Every four years individuals running for president promise to bring change. But what do we get? More of the same! Consider the evidence:
Our last time of peace and prosperity was the late 1950’s. Since then national debt went from $286 Billion in 1960, to over $19 Trillion. For 60+ years we’ve been continuously at war, even on this very day we’re bombing other countries. The economy is down the drain yet we keep sending the same corrupt two-party monopoly back to DC.
Smart people know that you don’t solve problems by applying more of the same things that caused the problems in the first place. The only way to free ourselves from the stranglehold of the monopoly is to bring in a new perspective. Governors Johnson and Weld are competent, decent and honest statesmen. Please consider giving them a chance to tackle the problems of the nation. If we don’t like their work, we can always replace them in four years with a Republican or Democrat.

I agree wholeheartedly. The two-party system is outdated and ripe with corruption and false hope. That said, other candidates just don’t seem to be viable either. I’m afraid until another candidate comes along that has substance, principles, likeability and character/integrity we will see a major party candidate elected for any office, especially President.
Why waste your vote. Trump will change things quite a bit. He is definitely not you typical Republican and yes he is crude but his polices are great for America, Hillary is more of the same. Yes Both Johnson and Weld are good people but have no chance to win and a vote for them will only help Hillary.
I propose yet another party. “The People’s Party”. “Of the People, By the People, For the People”. Or something like that. Seems that was forgotten long ago.
