Gary Johnson Urges Supporters To Caucus For Ron Paul
Newly minted Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson is now urging his supporters in Iowa to caucus for Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) on Tuesday.
Johnsons full statement:
Wednesday, December 28, I announced that I am seeking the Libertarian nomination for president. Accordingly, I urge my supporters in Iowa to vote for Dr. Ron Paul in the upcoming Iowa Presidential Caucuses.
While Ron Paul and I are both libertarians, we dont necessarily agree on every single issue. However, on the over-riding issues of restoring our economy by cutting out-of-control spending and the need to get back to Constitutional principles in our government, Ron Paul and I are in lock-step. Indeed, I proudly endorsed Ron Paul for President in 2008.
The cause of individual liberty and freedom is bigger and more important than any candidate or campaign. I am hopeful that in urging my supporters in Iowa to vote for Ron Paul in the upcoming Caucuses, a victory for the principles we share can be won.

Then please clarify your OP that you are warning against him, not advocating for him.

OP reads like he is promoting him. That's the problem. Not discussing it, but it looks like advocati

Thank you for clarifying. It now looks like a warning where it DID look like advocating

I wasn't the only one to think that, and I didn't want to see her/him banned. Sorry you took it
