DEATH * BY * METH

This is dedicated to Travis Holappa who was kidnapped, tortured and murdered on July 25, 2004 in Northern Minnesota. This was all due to meth. I am Travis' mother and I wish to make this devastation turn into a better thing by educating and exposing the truth about meth, the dangers, and the deadly consequences it brings about to individuals and communities.

I want to do what I can to educate people about what is going on around the world with the meth problem. I want people to know about it BEFORE they even get the idea to want to try it. It is a dangerous drug and will ruin your life as well as all those who love you. I am on a mission on behalf of my only son, Travis.

Tribes call meth a new evil, seek help to fight it (Washington)

WASHINGTON -- National Congress of Indians President Joe Garcia is calling for a partnership between the tribes and federal, state and local governments to combat methamphetamine, which some Indian leaders say is replacing alcohol as the scourge of reservations.

"It exists in all of the country, but it exists worse in Indian Country," Garcia said Monday during the legislative summit of the Congress. "Methamphetamine is killing our children, affecting our culture and ravaging our communities."

It was the second set of tough-on-crime remarks since Garcia, the governor of Ohkay Owingeh, formerly San Juan Pueblo, was chosen as president of the Congress in November.
