Jeff Hogg

Jeff Hogg is currently jailed for refusing to testify in front of a
federal grand jury being used illegally to build their case against
Green Scare defendants. Originally, the grand jury in Eugene was set
to end this month, and Jeff would have been freed. This grand jury
has now been extended until March, meaning Jeff could be held till
then. Jeff is a nursing student in a competitive program. Due to his
incarceration, his schooling has been put on hold indefinitely. He
has also lost his job working with autistic adults. His partner is
struggling to make ends meet. More fundraisers are needed to help
them keep their home. We had a very successful garage sale here in
Eugene, but more help is needed.

An appeal of the judge's decision to continue to hold Jeff has been
filed with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The final brief is due
on September 26th. Jeff has remained steadfast in his refusal to
cooperate with this grand jury, or any grand jury being used to
squelch freedom of speech and free association. It is our deepest
hope that the 9th ciruit court will agree and demand Jeff's release.

Your continued support of Jeff through this difficult time is sorely
needed. Please write to him, and consider holding a fundraiser on his
behalf. Print up the support flyers attached here and post them
everywhere. For info on how to donate to Jeff's support, email
