Political Mayhem Thursday: At Obama's Ear


For several months now, I have been working as part of a group called Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration.  [I am at the far right in the picture above].  I am kind of the admission department's mistake; the other members include the police chiefs for New York, Chicago, LA, and Houston, among many others.

A great piece in yesterday's New York Times announced the public launch of the group, and we had a big press conference yesterday at the National Press Club (among other meetings). NPR had a good segment on the roll-out as well.

Today many of us are meeting with President Obama at the White House. I'm looking forward to meeting Barack Obama and having a few minutes to talk to the president about something I care deeply about (hint: it's clemency).

If you had two minutes to tell President Obama something, what would you tell him?



Comments:
Be courageous. Be bold. Do good. History is watching.
 
Hats off to you for your convictions and determination, Mark. Salute!

If I had the President's ear, I would ask him to dedicate the rest of his life to producing policy-oriented, reality-based, non-partisan solutions to the problem of American sustainability. That is, how do we go forward with a federal tax system and economy and revenue stream that will balance liabilities and assets and allow for the continuation of the American project in a unique and successful way.
