The Libertarian Party of Kentucky will be hosting a presidential debate on March 1, 2008 at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Frankfort, from 7 to 9 p.m. The debate, which is open to the public, will be in conjunction with the Libertarian Party of Kentucky's annual State Convention.

Participants will be candidates seeking the National Libertarian Party Presidential nomination for the November General election. Slated to debate are: Jim Burns of Nevada, John M. Finan of New York, Daniel Imperato of Florida, Bob Jackson of Michigan, George Phillies of Massachusetts and Daniel E. Williams of Florida. Wayne Allyn Root and Michael Jingozian may also participate.

Panelists for the debate are Pat Crowley, political reporter and columnist for the Kentucky Enquirer and Owen McNeill, writer for the Maysville Ledger Independent. The moderator for the debate will be former Kentucky District four Congressional candidate and current candidate for Covington City Commissioner, Brian Houillion.

Ken Moellman, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Kentucky, noted that the debate was a great venue for those dissatisfied with the candidates of the major two parties. "I firmly believe that there is a candidate for everyone. It only takes motivation and courage to find and support that candidate. We are pleased to present more options to the citizens of Kentucky."

The attendance fee for the general public will be $15 at the door. To find out more information about the event, please visit the Libertarian Party of Kentucky's website www.lpky.org.

Born from an understanding that neither Republicans nor Democrats are interested in protecting the rights of the individual, libertarianism is a philosophy that holds that a person should be free to live as that person so chooses, and accepting responsibility for their own actions, without forcibly effecting the lives of others.
