Interview with will Potter, author of 'Green is the New Red'

Will Potter, 'Green is the New Red:  An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege'  www.greenisthenewred.com/blog/

Ever heard of The Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise?  If you've ever been arrested for environmental actism it's a sure shot they've heard of you.  The Center and the Feds are no doubt reviewing your file right now in the plush 'K' Street offices of some industry lobbyists.  Because he who controls the  terminology determins the the terms - the language and the sentencing, meting out arbitraary punishment which 'reverse-engineers' the action and sells it as a crime.  It's been a long hard road since Edward Abby's 'Monkeywrench Gang' inspired the consciences of thousands of people to direct action.  Environmentalists/animals rights groups weighed the fate of the planet and the fat of industry.  And they put their lives on the line in the name of defending the defenseless.  Nothing surpasses such courage and commitment.  Read the book.
