TO: ASHISH K. VAIDYA, PH.D.

PRESIDENT, NORTHERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

DEAR DR. VAIDYA, 

THIS IS TO INFORM YOU OF OUR INTENTION TO CONDUCT A PROTEST RALLY IN
OPPOSITION TO THE GUBERNATORIAL DEBATE THAT YOU ARE HOSTING ON THE
CAMPUS OF NKU, OCTOBER 29, 2019. 

SPECIFICALLY, WE OBJECT TO YOUR DECISION TO EXCLUDE THE LIBERTARIAN
CANDIDATE, JOHN HICKS, FROM THE DEBATE. 

WE INTEND TO CONDUCT A PEACEFUL, ORDERLY AND LAWFUL PROTEST.  WE EXPECT
TO HAVE FEWER THAN 30 PROTESTERS ALTHOUGH STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN
US IF THEY CHOOSE.  WE WILL NOT BE USING AUDIO ENHANCING EQUIPMENT.  WE
WILL HAVE SIGNS, BANNERS AND LITERATURE. 

PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION TO PROHIBIT MR. HICKS FROM PARTICIPATING
IN THE DEBATE AT NKU.  THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF KENTUCKY HAS DETERMINED
THAT THREE CANDIDATES, INCLUDING MR. HICKS,  ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPEAR ON
THE BALLOT.  YOU ARE VIOLATING HISTORICAL GUIDELINES BY USING PUBLIC
FACILITIES TO RESTRICT DEBATE APPEARANCES TO ONLY 67% OF  CANDIDATES
INCLUDED ON THE BALLOT.  IN FACT YOUR ACTIONS MAY CONSTITUTE
CONTRIBUTIONS-IN-KIND TO THE CANDIDATES OF THE TWO OLD PARTIES.  YOU MAY
WANT TO RESEARCH THE NATURE OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS WITH THE KENTUCKY
REGISTRY OF ELECTION FINANCE. 

KENTUCKY DESERVES TO HEAR FROM ALL OF THE CANDIDATES.   

IN LIBERTY, 

LEX HANNAN
