The methodology for this poll is insane. They don't list the first two questions - probably just asking the person about information.
Question #1 is Clinton v. Trump.
Potential Question #2 is which way are unsures leaning.
Question #3 is whether their mind is made up.
Question #4 is why are you voting for either of them.
Question NUMBER FIVE is a 4-way vote.
Methodology here
Do what I did. I risked everything and read Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson".
You can get it for free on Google, and it's a very easy read (you could easily finish it in a week).
Really try and allow it the opportunity to change your mind.
I did this with everything from the Communist Manifesto, to John Maynard Keynes, and books on Austrian economics. The Austrian books, in my opinion, wiped the floor with everything else.
Please read a basic economics textbook. I would recommend Economics in One Lesson.
Also, he would let the states determine their own minimum wages. He recognizes that federal minimum wages are not rational, because in certain states you might need less/more money than others for a "living wage."
That being said, I would rather we do away altogether with the minimum wage, it is a price floor, and by the law of demand, it lowers the demand for low-skilled labor. There are plenty of statistics to back this up.
I will give $15 for every 5 shirts sold, to the Johnson 15% campaign. I don't expect anyone to trust me, so if anyone has ideas how I can verify I've done this, please let me know.

Look into the Fair Tax's Prebate. Every month, you'd get a prebate check equivalent to full purchasing power of Poverty Level for your family size.

You'll note that the more money you make/spend, the more you're taxed. What's more, you'll note that it effectively translates to a low level Basic Income...
A big part of the problem is he really isn't making much news.... if you look back somebody has submitted almost every article that has to do with him.
You do realize virtually all polls use a sample size of 700-1000 right? Also, he actually does better with registered voters at 17%, and that sample size is 987 registered voters: https://www.scribd.com/mobile/document/323578761/NBC-News-WSJ-Marist-Poll-New-Hampshire-Annotated-Questionnaire-September-2016

Q: What is something you will never see Clinton or Trump do? A: Run onto the stage.
Done.
"https://www.bing.com/search?q=bing+political+index
Gary Johnson will be on the ballot in all 50 states and is polling much higher than Stein. He should be featured with the other presidential candidates in Bing's political index. Thank you."
I ran into the same issue. I found some on Amazon that are $15 for 2. I'd rather pay a little more and know the money is going to the campaign, but 3 week wait sucks.
I should also add that my hometown is something of a tourist destination as well.
Edit: that billboard, must be new because it's not showing up in street view. If streetview was more recent, this link would point right to it.
Newly posted article with official complaint filing.
I'm liking how this looks. Judge Gray is a secondary attorney.
Offering this for the weekend only. Order shirts here.
Then, if you so choose, chip in the $5 saved to the GJ campaign.
It's your choice of course what to do with your $3.99 free shipping savings (which is most of what I make on these), but I would like to suggest putting it towards the Johnson/Weld Campaign.
Here's where to order directly (with the free shipping code): https://teespring.com/vote-gary?pr=LIBERTY2
Free shipping through this weekend, 10/2/2016 only.
Edit: there are mugs available as well.
From what I've gathered it looks like he is hired to do this sort of thing.
This is his website.

Contact him with any "advice" here.
What you want him to do is completely antithetical to Libertarianism. When we talking about freedom, we mean the freedom from coercion, not the freedom from being responsible for providing for yourself. You may as well say that he needs to be a pro-life Christian that supports the persecution of the LGBT community and forced christian prayer in schools.
You should do one of two things: 1. Read an economics book. I suggest "Economics in One Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt https://fee.org/resources/economics-in-one-lesson-2/
Why would I argue with someone on the Internet who is obviously so planted in their views that they immediately call an entire group names because they must be stupid and ignorant if they don't agree with you?
What is there to gain from talking to someone like you? You have proved that you are closed minded and are bigoted towards a specific group of people. There is literally nothing I can explain to you or discuss with you that would benefit either of us and in reality you are just trying to start arguments with people on the internet, more than likely because it's the only place you can push your hate without any real consequences.
Enjoy your anger "kid" because you are quite literally the definition of a bigot.
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com is a good tool for double checking in the future.
If I had to guess, I'd say they've cordoned off certain ranges of addresses (when they're in numerical form, not written out). Or simply that only certain sites or group of sites are white listed. That's just for this error, though. If it worked before, just more slowly, not sure why it changed. I haven't even visited since (but I'll be back later today for an update).
Thanks for the info!
I've started a Trello board to help add feedback via comments and enabled a voting feature. https://trello.com/b/rRjdYqC0/ilikegarybut You should be able to sign into trello and comment directly on the cards. And I put a voting mechanism in. But feel free to provide copy on each card, or if you want to add new cards, send me a PM and I'll add you as a member.
A possible solution might be free online universities. A degree in this specific one however means nothing because tests are taken online from what I understand. I think it would be great to have free online lectures, and just pay to get course evaluation in a testing center. Sort of like AP testing but with a lot more courses.
I haven't seen any graphic designer interested in joining, but you might be able to get 80% of the way there with a Bootstrap Theme and host the static site with Firebase.
I really don't care if I will "fare well" under your corruption.
The reason I told you to learn English is because I am not being cruel to readers, unless that reader happens to be Zuckerberg. I believe what you're referring to is an example. It wasn't directed at you or anyone. Although, I should've quoted it.
To answer your other question; I'm not volunteering as I have more complicated problems to solve, and I lack the two skills you actually require -- dealing with you & picking colors. CSS is just a format, like MLA except less elitist. If you can write a essay you can figure out CSS.
There is a difference between frugal and cheap.
I clarify this point a lot. I need a good pithy quote... I first came across the point in the book Your Money or Your Life which helps you quantify the difference.
"Being cheap is about spending less; being frugal is about prioritizing your spending so that you can have more of the things you really care about. Those who are cheap are often afraid to spend money. They are willing to sacrifice quality, value and time in order to cash in on some short-term savings." http://money.usnews.com/money/the-frugal-shopper/2014/06/20/5-major-differences-between-cheap-and-frugal
Thanks for the great link, Friedman's book "Capitalism and Freedom" was one of the reads that solidified my views of government before I even knew the word "libertarian". I agree that anti-trust legislation is generally anti-freedom, most monopolies come as a result of government action, and those few "natural monopolies" that don't result from government action are still constrained and limited by the voluntary actions of their customers to buy or not buy their products.
However, among all the topics and views of the libertarian/Libertarian/liberty movement, I think "opposing anti-trust legislation" is pretty far down on the priority list. If Ron Paul were our candidate this year, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be using anti-trust legislation to try to get invited to the debates, because he's driven by the core principals of libertarian philosophy all the way. Johnson's brand of "fiscally conservative, socially tolerant" libertarianism is a little bit less philosophically pure, but compared to Obama and Romney I'm still excited to have him as our candidate. This legal case is not about succeeding in court or about forcing his way into the debates; it's really about trying to get some press coverage and attention drawn to the fact that he's being excluded, so let's hope it succeeds in that regard.
The website needs some serious work. The Fair Tax book is a quick, easy read and lays it out piece by piece. It's where I started researching it.
You may be able to pick up a copy at your local library.
You can also pm me with any questions. I'm not a total expert, but I'll do my best to answer or point you to more resources. Cheers!

I made my own in '12. You can buy the magnet stuff on Amazon or probably at craft stores like Michael's.

Can we stop saying this like it's gospel truth? Even the guy who literally wrote the book on media bias says this sort of thing is a conservative fantasy.
I bought my shirt from amazon. Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Trump-Hillary-Johnson-Large/dp/B01F7AZKUC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1464576077&sr=8-8&keywords=gary+johnson+shirt
