In February of 2012, the Lee Wrights for President campaign officially launched the “Million Vote March”, in “an effort to achieve a historic one million votes for the Libertarian candidate for President, and to encourage people to vote for all Libertarian candidates on the ballot.”
“This is not a march on Washington. It is not a march on your state capitol. It is not even a march on city hall,” said R. Lee Wrights. “It is simply a march to your local voting precinct on November 6, 2012 – a march to vote for liberty, to vote for freedom, to vote for peace, to vote for prosperity, a march to vote Libertarian to stop all wars.”, Lee Wright further explained.
Wrights said that he decided to launch this project because he’s convinced that the Americans are tired of war and eager to hear and vote for candidates who want to stop all war. “I believe that Americans are tired of the ruling elites, the political and corporate special interest that profit from death and destruction,”
Stop all war has been the theme of his campaign, but Wrights vowed to continue The Million Vote March project even if he is unsuccessful in his bid for the Libertarian presidential nomination.
“The Million Vote March is not about any candidate; it is about the libertarian message, a message I believe Americans are waiting to hear,” he said. “Just as I’m convinced that there are at least one million people who want to stop war, I’m convinced that there are at least one million people – or more – who are eager to hear and embrace a libertarian message of peace and prosperity. All we Libertarians have to do is deliver that message properly.”
Lee Wrights certainly picked the right election to launch his MVM as Governor Gary Johnson surpassed one million votes in the general election.
Wrights finished in 2nd place behind Johnson. Although he lost in a landslide, as expected, Lee managed to win over five state delegations during balloting; Texas, Illinois, Tennessee, Georgia, and Oregon.
