                                What the two major parties don’t want
                                voters to know, is that for every vote
                                we get over 5% comes major party status
                                for the Libertarian party. It means
                                automatic ballot access for Libertarian

                                Is there any recourse for LP members
                                concerned our presidential campaign is
                                flat out lying to donors and
                                supporters?  This isn't a matter of
                                opinion... the claim that a 5% vote
                                results in major party status and
                                automatic ballot access is demonstrably
                                false.<br>
                                <br>
                                By the time the duped voters and donors
                                realize the campaign intentionally
                                deceived them, Gary Johnson and his
                                conservative Republican staff will be
