I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the Libertarians out there who have sent me supportive emails over the past few weeks. I also want to thank LastFreeVoice.com for their contributions. Running for Tribal Council was a unique experience in that I had to attempt to reach over 3000 members spread over 2 states. It wasn’t easy and I’ll know after Saturday if our hard work has paid off.
Again, I truly appreciate the support and I know that win or lose, I’m coming out of this feeling like a winner because of all the support I’ve received.

Yay! I finally got my LFV problem fixed! Now I can delete the Opera browser I downloaded just so I could post here.
Jason, we’ll keep our fingers crossed for you!
We’ve been conducting some informal polling after I got a member list and if the 300 we contacted is any indication, I’m probably looking at finishing anywhere from 3rd-5th in a pick 2 situation with 8 candidates. I could probably live with that being the first time I’ve run for office.
The term is 3 years and elections are staggered, so there will be another round of elections next summer as well, so if I fall short, I get an early start on next July.
3000 members in two states? You should be able to meet most of them personally over the course of a year’s worth of weekends. Makes a big difference in a race that size.
