WASHINGTON (PNN) - October 26, 2012 - Former New Mexico Governor Gary E. Johnson, the Libertarian Party's candidate for president, has purchased air time on cable television in the Washington, D.C., area and markets across the country to launch his first national television ad Friday night.

The ad, titled “Cast a Vote for Peace”, features voices of children in the background as the words "Right now in Iran a lot of little kids are about to die" flash onscreen in the 30-second spot.

The ad then cuts to footage of what appears to be a drone plane flying, with Johnson's voice in the background declaring that he will be "the only candidate that does not want to bomb Iran."

"My name is Gary Johnson," the Libertarian Party candidate concludes in his ad. "Be a libertarian with me for one election - live free. I approve this message."

Both illegitimate President Obama and Mitt Romney have pledged to keep Iran from acquiring or making a nuclear weapon and have advocated similar strategies of imposing sanctions on the country as part of a plan to get it to stop Teheran's legitimate pursuit of clean nuclear energy for its people.
