Kudos on your work, Linda!  You did made a reference to the polygamy  
cult one time when you said how the FBI couldn't catch the polygamist  
with a gaggle of teenaged girls in long skirts and bonnets.  I  
understand he was only with a few people when he was caught in a  
traffic stop.  I think life on the run take so much planning and  
effort just to stay under the radar, that it's the little things that  
trip up the fugitives.

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
