 NATIONAL DAY OF PROTESTS CALLED AGAINST CONGRESSIONAL HEARING ON
ECOTERRORISM OPEN CALL FOR DIRECT ACTION
 ___________________________


 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 January 14, 2002


 WASHINGTON, DC - A national day of protests have been scheduled in the
U.S. for February 12, 2002, the same day former Earth Liberation Front
spokesperson Craig Rosebraugh has been subpoenaed to testify before a
Congressional Subcommittee hearing on Ecoterrorism in Washington, D.C.
Protest organizers have made an open call for direct action on or around
February 12 against the Ecoterrorism meeting and in support of Rosebraugh,
the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front.

 Craig Rosebraugh, a spokesperson for the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) from
1997-2001, received a subpoena on October 31, 2001 to testify before
Congress at a subcommittee hearing on Ecoterrorism to be held on February
12, 2002. Rosebraugh is commanded to appear before the Congressional
Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health at 3:00pm in the 1337 Longworth
House Office Building in Washington, D.C.

 This latest subpoena is part of a long history of harassment that
Rosebraugh has endured simply for passing on anonymous information and for
expressing his opinion.  Rosebraugh has already faced seven federal grand
jury subpoenas and has had his home and businesses raided twice since 1997.
Hundreds of items of property valued at thousands of dollars have been
stolen from Rosebraugh by federal agents during these raids.  For years he
has been followed by federal agents and his communications have been
monitored. Rosebraugh says he will not cooperate with the Congressional
attempts at stopping the ELF.

 A witness subpoenaed to a congressional committee is exposed to many of
the same risks as someone called before a grand jury.  One does not have
the right to remain silent and can not take the Fifth Amendment
unchallenged.  If the witness refuses to answer any question, no matter how
objectionable, they can potentially be sentenced to to prison for an
indefinite length of time.  Unlike the grand jury process when a judge
ultimately decides if the witness is to be held in contempt of court,
Congressional members themselves make the decision in Congressional
committees and subcommittees.  Since there is no judge or third party
involved in the process, members of Congress can decide to hold Rosebraugh
for not talking or for simply not answering in a way they find acceptable.

 The Earth Liberation Front is an international underground organization
that uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to stop the
destruction of the natural environment.  Since 1997 in the United States
alone, the ELF
has caused well over $40 million in damages to entities profiting from the
destruction of the environment.  To date only a small handful of people
have been arrested and charged with any crimes related to the ELF.

 Protests on February 12, 2002 are already scheduled to take place in
Washington, D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, and Portland.
