MEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 4 /Standard Newswire/ -- Following the launch of our first-ever ad campaign, which began on July 15 with a billboard and speaking tour in Omaha, Nebraska, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition will embark on several more speaking tours throughout August.
LEAP speaker Michael Gilbert, a former corrections official and current associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Texas at San Antonio, will tour Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska, from August 4-15. Gilbert's schedule of two dozen meetings, presentations and interviews include presentations for the Sleeping Lady Lions Club at Eagle River Lions Park, the Benton Bay Athletic Lions Club, Anchorage South Rotary Club, the Fairbanks Host Lions Club and the Fairbanks Sunrise Rotary Club, and an appearance on KFAR 660 AM: The Michael Dukes Show.
LEAP Executive Director and retired New Jersey State Police undercover narcotics officer, Jack Cole, will tour the Tampa Bay area August 14-17, making appearances at WWBA 1040 AM NewsTalk Radio, the Tampa Interbay Rotary Club, the Kiwanis Club of Springtime City, the Kiwanis Club of Largo/Mid-Pinellas, and the Sunshine City Kiwanis.
Finally, from August 20-September 10, LEAP speaker and retired Judge of the Provincial Court of British Columbia, Canada, Jerry Paradis, will tour New Zealand.
LEAP's message: the War on Drugs has cost taxpayers over a trillion dollars, we are approaching 40 million arrests for nonviolent drug offenses, and America has the highest prison population in the world. The result? Drugs are more available, more potent and cheaper than ever before. The War on Drugs is a manifest failure, and has only compounded the societal problems associated with drugs. In order to reduce the instances of death, disease, crime and addiction, we must implement a system of legalized regulation, putting drug cartels out of business and treating drug addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal justice problem. LEAP intends to prove and increase awareness of the failures of prohibition, as well as offer solutions that have proven to be successful.
