[ Gary Johnson 2012 ] | ![]() | |
| Welcome to the Gary Johnson 2012 website, dedicated to drafting Gary Johnson to run for president in 2012. Who is Gary Johnson? Gary Johnson served as the Governor of the State of New Mexico from January 1995 to December 2002, serving two terms in a state dominated two to one by Democrats. He was ranked among the nation's seven top governors in each of the Cato Institute's fiscal report cards between 1996 and 2002. Under Gov. Johnson's administration, New Mexico experienced the longest period without a tax increase in the state's history, the rate of growth in the state government was cut in half, half of the state's prisons were privatized, state Medicaid was shifted to managed care, and the state was left with approximately one thousand fewer employees (with no firings) and a budget surplus. Accomplishments:

Become reality driven. Don’t kid yourself or others. Find out what’s what and base your decisions and actions on that. 2. Always be honest and tell the truth. It’s extremely difficult to do any damage to anybody when you are willing to tell the truth–regardless of the consequences. 3. Always do what’s right and fair. Remember, the more you actually accomplish, the louder your critics become. You’ve got to learn to ignore your critics. You’ve got to continue to do what you think is right. You’ve got to maintain your integrity. 4. Determine your goal, develop a plan to reach that goal, and then act. Don’t procrastinate. 5. Make sure everybody who ought to know what you’re doing knows what you’re doing. Communicate. 6. Don’t hesitate to deliver bad news. There is always time to salvage things. There is always time to fix things. Henry Kissinger said that anything that can be revealed eventually should be revealed immediately. 7. Last, be willing to do whatever it takes to get your job done. If you’ve got a job that you don’t love enough to do what it takes to get your job done, then quit and get one that you do love, and then make a difference. He is an avid triathlete who runs several miles each day and abstains from all recreational drug use, caffeine, alcohol, and some sugar products.
