Daniel, I would have happily endorsed you had your candidate profile demonstrated it. it described your mini CV and your hobby, but nothing about freedom, less government, why you are standing etc. I couldn't endorse someone who I didn't know and whose profile doesn't tell me more than you are an ACT candidate.

Disappointed that myself and my wife counted as nearly 2% of the Hamilton West vote for Tim. That's a damning indictment on what Ham West thinks of freedom, given we had nobody else even in the ballpark, politically (or ideologically/ethically) speaking. Go the Blue Socialists I guess. :(

Yes, I kind of failed on that one. I wrote that bio in 5 minutes, doh!

Most people who move in libertarian circles know who I am and what I stand for. Guess I overestimated that.

Lesson Learned!
