Monthly Harvard SF Conference Call

Anyone want to help me sponsor a monthly SF Bay Area grad conference call? I'm getting a lot of alums wanting to contact me to get to others. What needs to happen is we create a regular vehicle (The Call) where we talk with each other, share and build a mix of relationships. The agenda for The Call will be emailed in advance and the subject matter can vary based upon interest. No matter is too small or too lofty would be my guideline.

If the Harvard Club of SF wants to take this idea and run with it I am fine about that too.

U.S. Senator Barack Obama's Secret Service Detail [Magna Cum Laude Harvard Law School]

Please consider helping me deliver a message to the White House that as a point of honor, Senator Obama’s Secret Service detail should scale and increase in quality as is necessary to protect him. I have no crystal ball, but I can imagine that he is receiving an increased number of threats already now that he is considering a run for the White House (as an identifiably black person). I don’t know whether he will formally run for President or not; if he does, the White House needs to deliver the message to him that he will be assigned the resources and quality needed to protect him and his family as he goes through this process.

As many of you may know he “was born in Hawaii in 1961 to an American mother and a Kenyan father. When he was two, his parents, who had met as students at the University of Hawaii, divorced. Obama's Harvard-educated father then returned to Kenya, where he worked in the economics ministry. Obama lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather for part of his childhood, returning to Hawaii to finish high school. He graduated from Columbia University, where he majored in political science and specialized in international relations. He then attended Harvard Law School, graduated magna cum laude, and served as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review.”

P.S. If anyone has contacts in the Bush Administration please relay this message to them for consideration.
