3/30/08 Boston Globe LTE re: Right To Public Assembly on Boston Common

PRESERVING Boston Common should mean much more than keeping the grass green ("Large events may become uncommon at city's beloved park," Page B1, March 20).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx4gM_B17RE

MA State Representative Martin Walsh speaking at the State House on 3/18/2008.
Starting out Rep. Walsh says that he would support making alcohol illegal.

He moves on to the disproven propaganda about marijuana being a gateway drug. He also seems to completely ignore the fact that people in his own district are having trouble finding work after being arrested for one joint, 10 years ago.

And somewhere in the rant, Walsh blows off the majority of voters in his district (57%), who have voted for marijuana decrim.

Is this guy for real?
