  The FBI is attempting once again to extradite one of their most wanted, Michael J Scarpitti (aka Tre Arrow), back to the US from Canada.

  Tre Arrow ran for Congress on the Pacific Green Party ticket in November 2000, capturing about 6 percent of the vote in an unsuccessful bid to unseat Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Oregon, per the news just now.

  I decided to check this environmentalist whacko out on GOOGLE just to see what I could come up with. Some of you might find the results interesting:

  Michael J Scarpitti aka Tre Arrow: Environmentalist and refugee hopeful, Tre Arrow has been incarcerated in Canada for over a year. He is being imprisoned while awaiting a possible extradition to the United States. Like the 125 000 American draft dodgers who came to Canada between 1964 and 1977, Tre came to Canada hoping to escape persecution in the United States. This became Tre's only option when his life in Portland, Oregon was unjustly turned upside down in the Summer of 2002. The US government is laying charges that would see him locked up for the rest of his life if convicted. After working tirelessly for years to protect some of the only ancient forests left in the North Western U.S., Tre had become an extremely well-known and important organizer. Like other peaceful organizers, Tre found himself at the forefront of an environmental movement which successfully interfered with industrial powers; he therefore became a target. Environmental journalist Tim Ream wrote in reference to Tre's case, "If you garner increasing popular support, you are a threat to everything the state stands for. You must be stopped."
