June 2009

Dear Keary,

Law
Enforcement Against Prohibition’s first-ever ad campaign kicked off
with a billboard in Omaha, Nebraska last July, and on June 4, 2009 our
second billboard was unveiled in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 

The billboard reads "Drug Abuse is Bad.  The Drug War is Worse."
and will travel around Oklahoma City for the next year.  With this
effort, LEAP aims to call to attention the urgent need for a more
ethical and effective drug policy. 

Below are just a few of the issues our speakers addressed in May.  We hope you’ll share "Dispatches from the Front Line…" with a friend.

Legalize and Regulate Drug Use

I
am a police officer who supports incremental change toward the
legalization and regulation of all drugs. This includes marijuana,
heroin, cocaine and other substances. I do not condone drug abuse, nor
breaking the law. But some laws are counterproductive and in this
respect it is time for an honest discussion about Canada’s drug laws.

Drug prohibition is an important domestic and foreign policy issue
because its effects are so varied and far-reaching. For example,
international forces are spending enormous sums of money to destroy the
poppy fields of Afghani farmers. Yet destroying some fields only serves
to increase the black market value of the remaining crops. This
increases the domestic price of heroin, resulting in addicts who break
into our cars and homes in order to pay for the exorbitant costs of
their daily fix.

"That’s What Real Policemen Do; They Stand Up for Each Other."

Thus spake, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
a city cop who joined other police officers and DEA agents in a packed
federal courtroom last week. All those badges flashed in support of Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Lee Lucas who is facing an 18-count indictment.

New Drug Czar Trips Over His Tongue

When I read the article about the new drug czar "ending the war on drugs" the excitement over the headline quickly turned to a concern that Mr. Kerlikowske was playing semantics. The headline: White House Czar Calls for End to ‘War on Drugs’:
Kerlikowske Says Analogy Is Counterproductive; Shift Aligns With
Administration Preference for Treatment Over Incarceration; seemed to
teasingly hint that an important milestone had been reached.

However, his statement, "Regardless of how you try to explain to people it’s a ‘war on drugs‘
or a ‘war on a product,’ people see a war as a war on them," he said.
"We’re not at war with people in this country." raised the alert level
to Code Brown [that’s on the BS Scale]. Since war is an armed conflict
and we are not engaged in that with either drugs or a product, that
leaves people as the combatants and raises questions about what planet
the new drug czar is from.

I applaud
the trend towards healthcare rather than prosecution and incarceration.
I think that is long overdue but whatever kudos might have been awarded
have been eliminated with Mr. Kerlikowske’s comments on KUOW radio.

Cops Say To Legalize Drugs

(The Huffington Post speaks to LEAP Executive Director Jack Cole, May 19, 2009)

President Obama drew a slew of criticism recently when he derisively dismissed a drug

reform question during a town hall meeting. Here was the "crazy"
question that warranted such a disrespectful response:

"With over 1 out of 30 Americans controlled by the penal system, why
not legalize, control, and tax marijuana to change the failed war on drugs into a money making, money saving boost to the economy? Do we really need that many victimless criminals?" 

This was the top ranked question on Whitehouse.gov, and yet Obama treated the query as if it came from a pack of giggling stoners. The president chuckled,
"I don’t know what that says about the online audience…The answer is
no, I don’t think that is a good strategy to grow our economy."

As is so often the case when discussing the War on Drugs, the president
offered no proof of this claim. He doesn’t have to. The room applauded,
while laughing at his little joke. Stupid stoners. Always thinking
about their pot.

But what Americans may not know is that many former law enforcement officers have recently stepped forward to speak against the failed War on Drugs.

1. Help publicize LEAP
   1. Alert law enforcement folks to LEAP’s website at www.leap.cc
      so they can learn the truth about the harms perpetrated on society by
      drug prohibition and about how to replace prohibition with drug control
      and regulation.

   2. Follow the progress of the war on drugs and our work to end prohibition at http://www.leap.cc/news/.
      Write letters to the editors and reporters of local and national
      newspapers and magazines about LEAP and our goals. Correct bad articles
      about drug policy and thank them for good articles. Explain that
      although we will primarily focus on United States policy, this
      organization can affect drug policy around the world since many
      policies in other countries are shaped and driven by pressures from the
      US. Be sure to CC info@leap.cc on emails you send and forward attachments to info@leap.cc of any documents you mail. It helps us justify ourselves when we ask for funding.

   3. Contact your elected representatives and tell them an organization
      of current and former members of law enforcement exists that opposes
      the war on drugs because in over 30 years it has done nothing but add
      to the problems of our citizens; an organization that wants to advance
      alternative policies of drug regulation and control that will save
      lives, reduce disease, lower addiction rates, lessen crime, and
      conserve tax dollars, by ending drug prohibition.

   4. Copy the LEAP Brochure and Mission Statement that are attached to
      this message and distribute them to members of law enforcement and
      policy makers.

2. Help us schedule LEAP presentations and testimonies
   LEAP is an international educational organization. LEAP supplies
   articulate former drug-warriors to speak out against the war on drugs
   to schools, civic and fraternal organizations and testify before
   legislators. You can help us by asking organizations you belong to if
   they will book us for a presentation. Direct them to our web site or
   tell them they can contact us at speakers@leap.cc or info@leap.cc

3. Donate to LEAP monetarily or with services
   LEAP is a tax exempt nonprofit corporation under the US Tax Code 501
   (c)(3). No speakers or board members in LEAP receive payment for
   services. We are volunteers. However, funds are needed for
   transportation and lodging when we send our speakers to the various
   venues.
   1. Donation checks should be made out to "LEAP Educational Fund" and
      mailed to Jack A. Cole, LEAP, 121 Mystic Ave., Medford, MA 02155.
      Donations can also be made on our web site at http://www.leap.cc/donate.htm using PayPal.

   2. If you wish to help LEAP with services we need to know where you
      live and in what areas of your experience you would feel comfortable
      assisting us. Please reply to info@leap.cc or contact Jack Cole at 781-393-6985 or send snail mail to Jack A. Cole, 27 Austin Road, Medford, MA 02155.

      Thanks for your interest. We at LEAP are looking forward to working
      with you to end the horrors of the war on drugs and renew and deepen
      respect for the honorable profession of policing that has been severely
      weakened by the role police have been forced to play in enforcing drug
      prohibition laws. Together we can make a better and safer society by
      serving it in a more efficient and ethical manner.

About LEAP — The Full Text

During nearly four decades the U.S. has fueled its
policy of a war on drugs with over a trillion tax dollars and
increasingly punitive policies. We have made more than 38 million
arrests for nonviolent drug offenses. Our incarcerated population
quadrupled over a 20-year period making building prisons this nation’s
fastest growing industry. More than 2.3 million of our citizens are
currently in prison or jail far more per capita than any country in the
world. The United States has 4.6 percent of the population of the world
but 22.5 percent of the worlds prisoners. Every year we choose to
continue this war will cost the United States another 69 billion
dollars. Despite all the lives we have destroyed and all the money so
ill spent, today illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent, and much
easier to access than they were 37 years ago at the beginning of the
war on drugs. Meanwhile, people continue dying in our streets while
drug barons and terrorists continue to grow richer than ever before.

Not one of the stated U.S. drug policy goals of
lessening the incidents of crime, drug addiction, and juvenile drug
use, while stemming the flow of illegal drugs into this country, has
been achieved. Fighting a war on drugs has magnified our problems many
fold creating a self-perpetuating, ever-expanding policy of destruction
but the U.S. still insists on continuing the war and pressuring other
governments to perpetuate these same unworkable policies. This scenario
is the very definition of a failed public policy. This madness must
cease!

With this in mind, current and former members of law
enforcement have created a drug-policy-reform group called LEAP. The
membership of LEAP believe that to save lives and lower the rates of
disease, crime and addiction, as well as to conserve tax dollars, we
must end drug prohibition. LEAP believes a system of regulation and
control is far more effective than one of prohibition.

The mission of LEAP is to
reduce the multitude of harms resulting from fighting the war on drugs
and to lessen the incidence of death, disease, crime, and addiction by
ultimately ending drug prohibition.

LEAP’s goals are: (1) To educate the public, the
media, and policy makers about the failure of current drug policy by
presenting a true picture of the history, causes and effects of drug
use and the elevated crime rates more properly related to drug
prohibition than to drug pharmacology and (2) To restore the publics
respect for police, which has been greatly diminished by law
enforcements involvement in imposing drug prohibition.

LEAP’s main strategy for accomplishing these goals
is to create a constantly growing speakers bureau staffed with
knowledgeable and articulate former drug-warriors who describe the
impact of current drug policies on: police/community relations; the
safety of law enforcement officers and suspects; police corruption and
misconduct; and the excessive financial and human costs associated with
current drug policies.

LEAP is a tax exempt, international, nonprofit,
educational entity based in the United States that was modeled on
Vietnam Veterans Against the War. They had an unassailable credibility
when speaking out to end that terrible war and LEAP has the same
credibility when its current and former drug-warriors speak out about
the horrors of the War on Drugs.

LEAP’s Board of Directors is made up of Jack Cole,
who retired as a lieutenant after 26 years in the New Jersey state
police–14 years in their narcotic bureau; Peter Christ a retired
police captain from Tonawanda, New York; John Gayder a currently
serving police officer with a department in Niagara Falls, Ontario,
Canada; Terry Nelson, who served in the US Border Patrol, the US
Customs Service, and the Department of Homeland Security; Tony Ryan, a
retired police officer from Denver, Colorado, Jerry Paradis, a retired
Provincial Court judge from British Columbia, Canada and James Anthony,
a prosecutor in Oakland, California.

The LEAP Advisory Board is composed of the esteemed
and respected, current and former members of law enforcement listed on
the LEAP masthead.

Membership in LEAP is open to anyone but only
current or former members of law enforcement can be board members or
public speakers for LEAP.

In five years we went from five founding police
officers to a membership of 10,000 people. We are no longer just
police. LEAP is now made up of police, judges, prosecutors, prison
wardens, FBI and DEA agents and others. LEAP has a bureau of 85
speakers and membership in 86 other countries.

LEAP presents to civic, professional, educational,
and religious organizations, as well as at public forums, but we target
civic groups; Chambers of Commerce, Rotaries, Lions and Kiwanis Clubs,
etc. The people in these organizations are conservative folks who
mostly agree with the drug-warriors that we must continue the war on
drugs at any cost. They are also very solid members of their
communities; people who belong to civic organizations because they want
the best for their locales. Every one of them will be voting in every
election. Many are policy-makers and if they are not, they are the
people who can pull the coat tails of policy-makers and say, We have
someone you must hear talk about drug policy.

After making more than 3,500 presentations where
LEAP calls for the government to end prohibition and legalize all drugs
legalize them so we can control and regulate them and keep them out of
the hands of our children, we have discovered that the vast majority of
participants in those audiences agree with us. Even more amazing is
that we are now attending national and international law-enforcement
conventions where we keep track of all those we speak with at our
exhibit booth. After we talk with them, only 6% want to continue the
war on drugs, 14% are undecided, and an astounding 80% agree with LEAP
that we must end drug prohibition. The most interesting thing about
this statistic is that only a small number of that 80% realized any
others in law enforcement felt the same.

This also holds true for policy makers. LEAP
speakers staffed educational booths at three national conferences for
state legislators. We spoke with 1,942 of the attendees on a one-on-one
basis and 83% of them agreed that we should legalize drugs only 6%
wanted to continue the war and the other 11% were undecided. If we can
show these legislators that they wont loose one more vote than they
will gain by backing drug policy reform, they will end drug prohibition.

The way to do that is to show them LEAP has a huge
membership. By 2010, we want to be able to say we have ten thousand
law-enforcers calling for an end to drug prohibition and a MILLION
private citizens who agree this is the correct policy.

LEAP does not release names or contact information
except for board members, speakers, staff or public volunteers helping
with the administration of the organization. Anonymity is guaranteed to
anyone who chooses to be a stealth member. If you wish to participate
actively and publicly in drug policy reform, we are in need of people
around the globe who will spread our message and help recruit more
members. If you choose to be a LEAP local representative, your name and
assigned LEAP email address may appear on our website and publications.
There is strength in numbers. By publicly declaring your advocacy for
using common sense in formulating drug policy, you will encourage
others to do the same. Before long, people who share our desire for
change will be contacting you to form local networks and alliances.

"Anyone concerned about the
failure of our $69 billion-a-year War on Drugs should watch this
12-minute program. You will meet front line, ranking police officers
who give us a devastating report on why it cannot work. It is a
