Issue: Polygamy

As far as I know, there is not a single Personal Choice candidate who does not support the right of consenting adults to choose for themselves how they will live, including the legalization of polygamy.

As a candidate for Governor, I have already promised that I will immediately order the 29 County Clerks to issue legal marriage licenses for all consenting adults who desire to marry, regardless of the sex or the number of their marriage partners. If I am elected and if Amendment 3 is ratified, I will ignore it because it violates the Supreme Law of the Land. A vote for me is another voice with which I will preach marriage freedom.

Every vote for a Personal Choice candidate will be a vote for marriage freedom in Utah. And personally, I believe it is more glorious to stand up and be counted for our rights, than it is to participate in this fear-motivated choice of the lesser of evils. If everyone in Utah who believes in the right to live polygamy voted and cast their ballot for Personal Choice, our voice would be heard. A vote from hope is more powerful than a vote from fear. I realize I am asking you to allow others to live lifestyles you may consider sinful or perverted, but isn't that what they say Jehovah preached in the War in Heaven? As strongly as we may be moved to preach against sexual perversions among consenting adults, let the One who is without sin cast the first stone.

Finally, I am extremely honored and proud to share the Personal Choice ballot with Linda Kelsch and several other real patriots.

Please distribute this to every polygamist and polygamist sympathizer in the State.



Ken Larsen, Candidate for Utah Governor
