Editor, The latest attempt in the ongoing attempt to litigate, legislate and re-interpret the Green Party off the ballot has passed two house committees and will soon be on its way to the state Senate. House Bill 628 increases the registration threshold for major party status, not by doubling or tripling it, but by a whopping 30-fold or 3,000 percent increase! If this draconian requirement were in place elsewhere the Democrats would not have full-ballot access in Utah nor would Republicans in the District of Columbia.

He also shows some understanding of the history of marijuana laws. So, I can’t understand how he came to such an absurd conclusion that legalization would be dangerous until we change our attitudes about marijuana use.
