Jonathan Paul was arrested almost two years ago as part of the so-called Green Scare, when federal agents detained ten activists connected to the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front. His sister Caroline Paul recently summarized his activism like this: ³He crept into animal laboratories to free dogs. He dismantled corrals to release wild mustangs. He impersonated a fur buyer to film the treatment of minks. He put himself between whales and whalers despite warnings that his boat would be impounded and that he would be jailed.² Listen/Watch/Read http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/31/145201 * Ralph Nader Files Lawsuit Accusing Democratic Party of Conspiring to Block Presidential Run * The lawsuit accuses the Democratic Party of ³groundless and abusive litigation² to bankrupt Ralph Naderıs campaign and force him off the ballot in 18 states.
