FEBRUARY 12, 2002 NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST STATE REPRESSION FORMER SPOKESPERSON FOR THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT SUBPOENAED TO APPEAR BEFORE A U.S. CONGRESSIONAL SUBCOMMITTEE ON ECOTERRORISM Craig Rosebraugh, a spokesperson for the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF) from 1997-2001, received a subpoena on October 31 to testify at a Congressional Subcommittee meeting on "ecoterrorism". Craig is commanded to appear before the Congressional Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health at 3:00 p.m. on February 12, 2002 in Washington D.C. At a Congressional meeting on October 3, 2001, U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis (CO), chairperson of the Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health argued that Craig should be subpoenaed to provide them with information on the ELF. (Since 1997 The ELF has inflicted more that $40 million in damages to entities profiting from the destruction of the environment.). When one of the committee members made the reasonable objection that subpoenaing Craig would be a waste of time, he was accused of being "soft on terrorism". He pointed out that Craig had been subpoenaed before and never given any information, his house had been raided etc. and yet he had never been indicted for any crimes. 1)Take part in the NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST STATE REPRESSION.
