Can I ask a question? What’s happening back in Texas with children caught in the ranch of polygamy disaster?

You see, I am not a fan of polygamy. For one thing, it is every man can take with a woman. On the other hand, it is against the law in this country.

But polygamists have been in the press are already working for decades. The authorities knew that and her. They have done this is not something more every year!

Then, in a telephone call entirely without foundation about sexual abuse - which does not seem to anybody, including polygamist compound - the state closed the connection, and (this is totally incomprehensible), small children the colony away from their mothers and fathers.

Why? What crime was committed children? Why are they treated now, most dramatic scarcely imaginable - the separation of their mothers and fathers - are not known reason?

The State of Texas has not found a single one of these crimes against children not yet. Even if he or she is one, but two, how is this a reason why dozens, perhaps hundreds of children away from their mothers?

Children are the victims here - not by the parents, but also the incredible, incredible cruelty of the authorities of the State of Texas. Is there evidence of the cruelty of the families of these children, where is it?

You see, I am a big fan of Texas. I have many friends there and love. But what is the Attorney General of Texas? It is an Orwellian nightmare. For no reason, except for what looks like a crank call, the lives of these children have been placed on the head and in a horror movie to cry.

Unable to tell someone who is clearly here? The fact that in this case are not Mormons, criminals, the government of Texas.

Governor Perry, wake up and return these children to their mothers, some mandatory, good bases else to do. What is your status here is pure and simple tactics of the Gestapo.

On the game are hundreds of thousands before a court appointed attorney and living expenses, which consumes a lot of Whatley’s $ 2 million nest egg, it has built over a lifetime investment, especially in his former employer, Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp.

Given that the dispute would also Whatley’s death, as appropriate, as it must be celebre among critics who claim, Texas / USA with us, the courts are abused and mistreated at the expense of the elderly and frail. The Whatley, first, in cases reported by the Houston Chronicle, during the last year, was full of accusations of financial greed.

“He struck 10 years of my life and I think he hit five years from bits’s,” said Dawn Johnson Whatley, who was Whatley’s former head and later his wife. She spoke of the chronic month last, in his first interview since Whatley death at the age of 84 last year.

VANCOUVER - As more than 200 people were bused Texas Polygamist connection in the weekend, after a search by police, the procession echoed in the town of Bountiful, British Columbia, a community polygamous relationship with the Texas feud.

“There are people belonging to BC, it would be a part of the group, which over there,” said Linda prices, a retired Creston, BC, which for years lobbying against polygamy in Bountiful, a community of more 700 people in the south-east of British Columbia, near the border of the United States.

Another B.C. Woman, a former member of the community of Bountiful, it is possible that some of their parents and their children could be part of the Texas group.

“I am not sure when - it is also mysterious,” said Jane Blackmore, Creston resident was married to Winston Blackmore - what we call the Bishop of Bountiful, has more than 20 wives. Year last, they bear witness to the repression against Warren Jeffs, the founder of the Association of Texas, whose struggle with Mr. Blackmore precipitates in a struggle for power Bountiful.

HOUSTON — Texas was forced by federal law to end its poll tax on voters four decades ago, and now another levy has put the Lone Star State in constitutionally murky waters: the “pole tax.”

Texas lawmakers last year imposed a $5-per-patron fee on strip joints to raise more than $40 million annually for anti-sexual-assault programs and healthcare for the uninsured.

The fee, which took effect Jan. 1, infuriated the owners of Texas’ 162 strip clubs, who said politicians were cynically taxing a population they knew would not fight back. After all, critics reasoned, men who make a habit of drinking and stuffing currency in the attire of scantily clad women are usually not eager to tell the world about it at legislative hearings.

“It’s not like Al Sharpton is going to show up and protest that we’re being discriminated against,” said a man who identified himself only as Dave, as he exited the Penthouse Club in Houston.

On March 28, however, Texas strip club devotees found a powerful ally: An Austin judge declared the pole tax unconstitutional, saying it infringed on expression protected by the 1st Amendment.

Travis County District Judge Scott H. Jenkins said in his ruling that laws limiting such expression had to pass strict constitutional tests and that the pole tax didn’t because, among other things, indigent healthcare had no connection to strip joints.

“There is no evidence that combining alcohol with nude erotic dancing causes dancers to be uninsured,” he wrote.

A spokesman for Texas Atty. Gen. Greg Abbott said Abbott would “vigorously appeal” the decision. And state Rep. Ellen Cohen of Houston, the former head of a women’s shelter, said she was prepared to write a narrower measure.

“We need more funding for sexual assault victims, to get the word out and to educate people,” the Democrat said of her law, which had bipartisan support. “That’s what this is all about, and there is general agreement that it is a good thing.”

Stewart Whitehead, an attorney for the Texas Entertainment Assn., which challenged the law along with an Amarillo topless bar called Players, stressed that adult businesses supported rape crisis centers and other programs Cohen wanted to beef up. However, he said, strip clubs do not want to be singled out for taxation.

“We hope this sends a message nationally that these establishments are protected by the 1st Amendment and you can’t impose an unfair tax on them just because they are an easy political target,” Whitehead said.

Texas lawmakers tried to pass a fee on strip clubs in 2004 to finance education, but the levy, derogatorily dubbed “tassels for tots,” failed.

When lawmakers debated the new fee last year, supporters did not claim a link between strip clubs and sex assaults, only that a business that hired women would benefit from programs women used.

But after the law wound up in court, lawyers for the state argued that it was really a regulation, and summoned witnesses who said strip clubs contributed to sexual violence.

“Our customers are not happy about that. They find that very insulting,” said Dawn Rizos, co-owner of the Lodge, a lavish club near the Dallas Cowboys stadium that has a VIP room inspired by the movie “Casablanca.” “We obviously don’t feel there is any correlation between what we do and [sexual] assault.”

Rizos said some club owners thought Texas should fine sex offenders to pay for the programs, a model already used to raise revenue from drunk drivers. Hoping to avert a long and costly legal battle, she said some would also accept being part of a solution — as long as others were taxed.
