"These people need your help. You might not know them. They might not be part of any activist community. But they represent the heart of this movement and this struggle. Because they are the ones accused of actions that have become legendary and made into songs. They are the ones bearing the brunt of this struggle's resistance. They are the scapegoats for the Department of Justice. They are suffering for every act of defiance this movement has carried out under whatever banner. We owe it to these people to support them. We owe it to them to not be controlled by fear."
-Oregon political prisoner Jeffrey Luers, writing on the Backfire arrests, December 22, 2005.
