So glad to see that medical marijuana has secured enough signatures to get onto the ballot. I see that "Better Boundaries" is attempting to secure their signatures for their ballot initiative so that gerrymandering can be curtailed in the state. I also hear someone is trying to see what can be done about the liquor licenses in the state and the DABC. I would love to vote on all three of these issues. Please let us know where to sign up.
Two more issues I wish someone who is smarter than I am would take up; one is term limits. That speaks for itself. We need to try to limit the power of government representatives nationwide. It shouldn't be a lifelong career.
And two, random drug testing for all government employees. My husband worked as an electrician on many government jobs and he was subject to random drug testing. I worked for UTA and was also subject to random drug testing. Why aren't our politicians and representatives, congressmen and senators, and yes, even the president, subject to such testing? It should be critical that these people see clearly at all times, more than the lowly peons that work below them. Please, someone who knows how to work the ballot initiatives circus, please come forward.
