One of the reasons I made the trip this morning, along with former Kamloops South BC Conservative candidate Peter Sharp, was because as of today, I'm still unsure who I will support.
Right now however, I believe it is more important to get word out on who the candidates are ... their vision ... and how they would lead the membership of the party.
I did Tweet several times from this mornings announcement made by BC Conservative Party leadership hopeful Rick Peterson ... here is what I had to say (FYI ... if you are unfamiliar with Twitter shorthand, a list will follow below of what the shorthand stands for:

The
following is from the campaign website for Rick Peterson ... the beginning of
the news announcement of his leadership bid:
September
23, 2013 VANCOUVER---Today Vancouver business man Rick Peterson launched his
bid for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party. Surrounded by his
supporters, Peterson kicked off his campaign with a speech focused on tax
fairness, accountability and a clear vision for the future of the BC
