I would like to say two things to Jeff Sweetin, special agent in charge for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's Denver office. First, thank you for your continuing efforts to clean up the state of Colorado. Despite the resistance you face from liberal mountain communities for your enforcement efforts, most citizens sleep better knowing your agents are up there too. Second, how can the general public make donations to help you keep marijuana illegal in Colorado? I can only hope the general public is smart enough to see the campaign by SAFER for what it is. SAFER is clearly a bunch of losers with barely the ambition to put on a suit and come up with a misleading acronym. There are many people in our state whose dangerous drug knowledge comes solely from what they see on television. Thankfully, the DEA is being responsible and exercising its role as non-partisan experts on the subject. Matthew Hayes, Aurora - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
