Hi Brandon,
I explained a bit on the other
thread<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/adwords-api/hK0WXGw9nzQ/discussion>.
Basically, I think you should just need to specify date & time with the
account timezone, no need to shift for your current timezone. If you could
explain your use case, we might be able to provide more specific advice.
