It's simple. Hillary Clinton is a corrupt, lifelong politician with scandals, secrets, and illegal activity lurking in the shadows. Donald Trump is a man without Constitutional principles. He's emotional whirlwind that bullies and whines when confronted with facts, policy differences, and questions about his character. Others running for President of the United States like Jill Stein, Darrell Castle, and Evan McMullin are hardly known to the public and have no governing experience. There is ONE candidate who has the experience and character to be President as well as the right plan. His name is Gary Johnson, or as the popular hashtag says, #HonestJohnson. He was a Governor. He's climbed Mt. Everest. He's not eloquent, but he's as real as they come. Here are 10 reasons you should vote for him.

1. You can! Gary Johnson is on all 50 state ballots so you have the opportunity to vote for him without having to write him in or choose between the lesser of two evils.

2. He has experience! Gary Johnson was a popular and successful, Republican Governor of New Mexico for 8 years.

3. He is Libertarian! You may not know much about the Libertarian Party or agree with their entire platform, but they are the 3rd largest political party in the country and growing rapidly. Check out what they stand for here: www.lp.org

4. We want peace! Gary Johnson believes in peace through strength, which means we should have a strong national defense, but must stop engaging in interventionism and foreign nation-building. We could finally end the wars.

5. We want freedom! Gary Johnson wants to get the federal government out of your bedroom and out of your pocket. That means social inclusiveness and lower taxes.

6. He is not a Democrat or Republican! It's long overdue that we break the control of the two-party system that never changes and never accomplishes anything except creating a country where it's more difficult than ever for you and me to succeed.

7. He can balance a budget! Our country is fiercely approaching the $20 trillion dollar mark in national debt and our federal government could care less. Gary Johnson balanced budgets as a Governor and created surpluses. He was also a successful entrepreneur who sold his construction company to become independently wealthy.

8. We need unity! Our country is becoming more divided by the year racially, politically, ideologically, and by social classes. It's time for a leader who can represent and cooperate with everyone because that's what America is about.

9. The war on drugs must end! It's been a disastrous failure and has especially failed minorities including African-American males. Gary Johnson will make criminal justice reform a top priority.

10. We need better education in America! Since the federal government took control of the education in our country we have failed to reach reasonable goals to compete with other countries in things like math and science. Gary Johnson will finally close down the federal Department of Education and send control back to the states where parents and teachers can truly collaborate for the sake of all children.

And one more because it so important:

11. Gary Johnson will audit the Federal Reserve, which has been operating with stealth and corruption for decades, going unchecked and without any accountability.

Many of you might say it's a pointless vote. You say, "Gary Johnson can't win." Well, you may be right. If too many Americans believe what you are saying then yes, it's impossible for him to win. Still, even if he doesn't win, a principled vote for something and someone you can believe in is why so many have fought and so many have died to protect that privilege. I don't think they gave their lives so we could choose between the lesser of two evils. They died so we could be free to choose our own representation. Do your research and you may find more in common with him than you think.

Remember to ask yourself before voting, "Would I rather vote for someone I believe in and lose or vote for someone I'm unsure of and win, but regret what they do then?"

"I hope that people will see that we don't have to sit by the sidelines and watch as the two major parties limit their choices to slightly different flavors of the status quo. It is, in fact, possible to join the fray, stand up for principles and offer a real alternative." Gov. Gary Johnson
