Libertarian Campaigns  Libertarian Campaigns

I want to tell your story in my upcoming book: "Campaigning On Principle"

Are you a Libertarian Party candidate or activist? - Then help me tell your story!

Every year, hundreds of libertarians around the US try to advance libertarianism by running for office. Why do we do it? What is it really like?

When I ran for the Virginia State Senate in 2007, one of the most common questions I was asked is "why are you running?" It was a much deeper question than I think those asking it realized. This simple question leads down a path filled with fascinating stories.

There is a lot to tell about my story as a Libertarian candidate, and if you've ever run for office as a Libertarian or been part of a Libertarian campaign, I'm willing to bet you have a lot of great stories too. Through these stories we can educate each other as well as people outside the libertarian movement.

I want to write about your campaign stories, as well as my own, in a book that I hope will be enlightening and interesting reading to libertarian activists and candidates, political junkies of all stripes, and curious voters.

I want to tell the larger story of Libertarian candidates of all kinds, a story that is both positive and realistic, humorous and serious, educational and inspiring, occasionally sobering, and perhaps even heroic. But to do that, I really need your help!

Please share your stories using the survey, by contacting me directly, and by participating on the blog. I look forward to hearing about your experiences as candidates!

For Liberty,

Arin W. Sime

    Take the Survey!
If you are a Libertarian Party candidate, past or present, then I want to tell your story!

Please fill out the following survey to give me some basic information, and your stories may end up in my book "Campaigning on Principle", or on this blog.

There are only 10 questions, and I would greatly appreciate your participation in this project!

Start the survey now ...

Not a candidate? The survey's questions are geared towards candidates, but you can either answer then anyways and just indicate your role in a particular campaign, or just contact me directly with your stories!

    Read the Blog!
Please join me on the "Campaigning on Principle" blog, and tell your stories!

On the blog will be excerpts from the book I am writing about Libertarian campaigns, and I encourage your feedback on the writing.

I'll also be asking questions on the blog and provide some information about candidates I am interviewing and the stories they are sharing with me.

If you're not a candidate or activist, I still want to encourage you to participate on the blog and share your experiences too.

Don't be shy, tell me why you support people who are "Campaigning on Principle"!

Keep up with the book's progress on facebook!
