Up until this point, I believe the only time I ever publically endorsed a candidate was when I withdrew from my first delegate race and publically endorsed Parthini. But taking a look at the current race update has moved me to speak out.
Friends of 10000 Islands, Bratesbourgh I'm sure is a fine nation, but I have simply not seen enough evidence that he has the qualities necessary to become delegate. Bratesbourgh has made a total of 35 posts on this forum. This is quite simply not enough. In order to be a delegate of 10000 Islands, a nation must be an active member who has shown his dedication to the region. I don't see how Bratesbourgh can call for more serious debates in our region. At a glance, it is obvious that Bratesbourgh has not participated in the vast majority of debates and discussions that take place every day on this forum. TheSensitiveNewAge has shown that he is one of the most dedicated and active members of the region.
It is also because of the issue of dedication that Bratesbourgh's TITO record is a big issue. If a nation has never even gone on a TITO mission, how can he be expected to help lead those missions? If faced with an attack on 10000 Islands, how would Bratebourgh know what to do? Early in my delegateship, Grub was deleted through a false claim of spamming. 10000 Islands was left without a founder for several hours, and my endorsement level was not as high then as it is now. That could very well have 10000 Islands' most exposed moments to invasion since the early days. But I was active from the moment Grub was deleted to the moment he was restored. Because of TITO, I knew what I would have to do if we were invaded, I knew how to protect our great region. Maybe Bratesbourgh has done some defending outside of TITO, but freelance defending is much different from an actual organization like TITO. TSNA was one of TITO's founding fathers, and only Grub is more qualified to defend this region effectively.
To be delegate, a nation must participate on this forum every single day, because you never know what issue may spring up. You never know what new decision may be brought before the Council of Nine. Every vote in the Council is important, every vote counts. I just do not trust Bratesbourgh to be on this forum every day, and therefore I feel that Bratesbourgh being delegate would be a waste of a good, of an important vote in the Council of Nine.
TheSensitiveNewAge has been delegate before. While some changes have been made since he was delegate, TSNA has also recently served as delegate, he has seen how the Departments of Education, Immigration, and Labor function. He has helped to make the appointments of several ambassadors to other regions. TSNA knows how to do this. Bratesbourgh has absolutely no experience in 10000 Islands government. How can he possibly know how to lead us?
TSNA has made promises to help to expand the region of 10000 Islands, and I believe him. I will make a small confession here and say that I don't believe that I have spent enough time assissting immigration in bringing in nations to 10000 Islands. I apologize for this, people of 10000 Islands. But I assure you that TSNA will do this.
Good people of 10000 Islands, I will call upon you one more time. I have been your delegate since April. I know the experience and dedication necessary to be a good delegate. And I can tell you right now that TSNA has that dedication, and Bratesbourgh does not. Bratesbourgh: In the coming months, show me that you are an active member of this region, participate in the government and in TITO, and come next delegate election, you will find yourself in a much more favorable and well-deserved postiton to become delegate. Thank you.

For my service strengthening ties between Canada and the 10000 Islands.
