Hello Everyone:

I've never brought this up on list but it seems ok to talk about 
things other than CP and this issue, along with helping Case is a big 
part of my life.
Don't know if anyone is watching the polygamy story on CNN and Larry 
King, among other shows. Just letting you know that it is part of my 
civil and human rights work I have been doing for years. I was the 
first person on the web ranting about this and Flora Jessop, a true 
hero, is the spokesperson for this issue from Child Protection 
Project, a group I founded. Case has met Flora and seen her on tv 
although his parents won't let him watch most of it and I agree with 
that but he knows his Nana fights the bad guys.
I know it is not CP related except that so many polygamy kids are 
subject to difficult births, have disabilities, and not getting the 
health care they need. It is a very sad story and we have not broken 
all the elements of it yet. My non profit is www.childpro.org.
I am pretty proud of this life long work because now that the full 
story is getting out people (including my own adult children) have 
stopped calling me a crazy exaggerator. Now it's, "Mom, I heard your 
story on public radio or the like." The fact is it is impossible to 
exaggerate how bad it is in there. Even the newscasters are having 
trouble wrapping their minds around it. So why can we implement 
democracy in Afghanistan and save the women behind the veil there but 
we can do nothing to stop this in our own country? Many things 
disgust me but none as much as this.
Larry King was supposed to do a show on this tomorrow but he is doing 
Tom Cruise baby pictures instead! Wow, that's more newsworthy I guess 
in this news as entertainment industry. The show will run eventually. 
It's on the documentary Banking on Heaven about polygamy.

All the best to everyone,

Linda
