Dear Gov. Ige

Dear Gov. Ige,

Before I file my nomination paper, I would want to ask you one more time.
Do you remember many months ago, I asked and promised you, if you do Media Reform, I would withdraw my candidacy?

It does not mean that I would forgive your illogically signing bills, like a tax hike bill on rail without forensic audit, assisted suicide bill without the thorough and complete vetting process, and your irrational responses to false missle alarm, etc.

I would give you one more chance, but only about (less than) one day; since I plan to file my nomination paper in the next day or so.

You may text me or email me, as you wish, if you want to agree.

If you do Media Reform, not only I would withdraw my candidacy, but I would try to help you as much as I can, even as your staff? if you wish.

Please, remember you may have less than a day; and hopefully, you answer by tonight, midnight, before May 31, 2018.

Aloha.

Dr. Richard Y. Kim.
A Democratic Candidate for Governor

Help Media Reform

Dear President Trump,

I understand you may be mad at New York Times that they reported, as if your recent Nashville rally had attendance of only 1000 people and your summit with Kim Jong Un may not happen on June 12 due to time constraint.

But, in my case, the main media have been trying their best not to expose me in the public eye, not only by un-informing the voters but also by fabricating the polls, which may play significantly on the outcome of the primary election.

I hope you understand me.

You are already elected as our president.
If I were you, I would rather utilize my energy to reform media, and announce my actions toward it, accordingly, to American people.

You have power to at least start media reform, although it may not be easy. However, if you share your struggle as you help and make the media change and reform, the american people may understand you better; and, hopefully, we may find the solutions together to the goal of media reform, in the long run.

Aloha.

First Tuition Free University

If I get elected as your governor, I would want to see if we can have UH Manoa to be the first tuition free university.

(Even if the budget may not allow us for the time being, we want to plan in advance, so that we can gradually move toward the goal of the tuition free university.)

Aloha.

P.S. One issue.
Unfairness or preferential tx, compared to other public universities and colleges, within the state.
This can be avoided, if we can give tuition free as a form of scholarships.
Note: We may need to find the plan, as lawful and constitutional as possible.
We also want to extend the program to other public universities and colleges, gradually, in the long run, as long as we can find budgets.
Aloha.
