You were sorta right. LEAP is a comprehensive drug law reform organization made up of current and former members of the law enforcement and the criminal justice community who lobby for reform both within and OUTSIDE of the law enforcement community. I'm quite familar with Jack Cole although I wouldn't go so far as to say he was a personal friend; I've been a member and supporter since 02 (basically the beginning) although membership has always been fairly losely defined within the organization. I've known Dean Becker- one of LEAP's more prominent speakers, even longer. I just wish Jack wouldn't use the tough economy argument for raising funds. Too many people are hurting because of that very same problem and I think that approach rubs many people the wrong way; people who would otherwise love to provide support.

My handle "leadmagnet" actually comes from my associates for having been shot/shot at so many times as an LEO.

And yes, donating to them is a wise investment; a wiser investment for many around here however would be to invest in a sense of humor I fear.

So, pack up a bowl and have yerself a laugh, bro.
