Hi everyone,

The wonderful activists at Brown University's SSDP are trying to bring a LEAP speaker to New England to speak about his experience working in Mexico against drug cartels.  We would like you to host him as well.  All of our speakers with cartel experience live in Texas, so if we had several schools wanting to get on board with this tour, it would be cheaper and easier for everyone to have an awesome event!  With the Mexican drug war in the news almost daily, this is an awesome opportunity to raise awareness of the situation in Mexico and to earn a lot of media attention.

We're currently looking at the middle to end of February for this tour to happen, so if you are interested, please contact me asap to work out the details.

Thanks!
Matt Potter

Sorry for the duplicate email, I just wanted to include Larry Tally's bio for everyone to check out: http://www.leap.cc/cms/index.php?name=Speakers&bio=2398.

He's got a wealth of experience, including interdiction and eradication work, and he worked for General McCaffrey before he became drug czar.
