Forum with Judge Jim Gray of LEAP

Who: Judge Jim Gray What: LEAP Presentation to the San Diego Association for Rational Inquiry http://www.sdari.org When: Sunday September 24, 2006 6:00pm PST Where: Joyce Beers Uptown Community Center, Vermont St., two blocks north of University Ave. in the Hillcrest section of San Diego, CA Contact: LEAP Speakers Bureau Coordinator Mike Smithson, (315) 243-5844, speakers@leap.cc The San Diego Association for Rational Inquiry (SDARI) welcomes LEAP Speaker Judge Jim Gray on Sunday, September 24, 2006 to their monthly meeting. Judge Gray’s sober look at the often hyped “War On Drugs” complements SDARI’s stated goal to “supply the public with the scientific facts… thereby providing a critical educational service to our community.” Although Judge Gray has championed many causes, none has been more bold than his work to combat the illegal drug problem in America. Gray continues to mobilize civic leaders, government officials, corporations, nonprofit organizations, the media, and the public around the country to join him in exploring alternate solutions to reduce this chronic problem. LEAP seeks to expose the tragic flaws inherent in the United States’ prohibitionist drug policy by demonstrating the facts. SDARI seeks to gain access to the facts surrounding the many “irrational beliefs and untested claims,” they say “are promulgated in the San Diego, California area.” This event promises to open up engaging discourse and lively debate about the contentious issues surrounding the drug war.
