We, the undersigned, urge Texan authorities to free the innocent women, children, and other members of the Fundamentalist LDS Church who are currently being detained. We demand that the Constitutional rights of the innocent be preserved, and that due process be served. As individuals are innocent until proven guilty, we call upon the Texas Governor to intervene in this matter and allow the women and children to return to their homes peacefully. We also demand an apology, most especially from the Texas CPS, for the heinous acts of aggression displayed in these recent events.

We, who have observed the media reports and witnessed the many ways in which the rights of these citizens have been abused, urge those in authority to use their lawful power to protect such people from broad, intrusive actions. We condemn the broad authority give to the law enforcement officers to enter into and search any building in the YFZ community. We condemn the power granted to detain and interrogate hundreds of women and children.

Native American children, Australian Aborigines, are just a few groups that have had their children taken away "for their own good". This is a disgrace to our entire country and it is currently damaging our reputation world wide. Let this travesty be ended NOW.

2479: Now they see. There are many who do not know: "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34). Yet, the nation had to be destroyed in order to obtain any measure of forgiveness, but with innocent blood on their hands there is no forgiveness in this world nor the next ( ). Now they seek to immunize in order to sterilize. That is the shedding of innocent blood. They will blame it on inbreeding, and claim every right since the children belong to them, just as the owner of a cat has every legal right to neuter it. The only remedy now for the FLDS is the inspiration of God in organize a Minute-Man force and the Remnant of Jacob to go rescue their darlings from these kidnappers and murderers, the serial killing of little children, like their abortion law has decreed now for 30-years. It is the law.

I'm a child protective services caseworker here in Florida. I'm proud to say that I honestly believe this sort of travesty would not happen in our state. I've never thought Texas truly sucked until now. I know from personal experience with the child welfare system how difficult it will be for these families to get their children back. For people who abused children, that's fine, but in the vast majority of these cases, the state has clearly not proven abuse. It is outrageous that the governor of Texas would allow such things to happen on his watch. I'm ashamed to live in the same country as Texas today.

Now you have both sides of the issue, You see how there is more for the rights of the innocent,than there are against. There are those that write words of comfort, consolation, and pity, for the sweet children. Then there are those who write the lies, the hatred, and false things. Do they really know what goes on in these societies? Or they just saying these thing as they hear them? You, reader, know when you hear a lie, or truth. Try looking at the number or those who truly feel for these children, and see who is "out-numbered". The lies can do nothing for or against the truth. Children are naturally innocent. You (if you actually look) can see if children are abused, the signs are not in or with these children, only "hate-mongers" see hate, the same with "truth-lovers" see only truth. Now, reader, we as a person can only judge by what that person is, YOU judge this, what IS right? Who IS right? Jesus said "God Is Love". What can the devil do? Is he the opposite? You hear the voices of these men, and you hear the voices of those who are against, YOU be the judge.

Matthew 5 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Of course the CHILDREN are innocent! It's the ADULTS who are NOT innocent. THis has gone on far too long in UTAH< ARIZONA

******************************************************* http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/how-dangerous-flds ******************************************************* "The FLDS has clearly assembled all the basic ingredients required to create exactly the kind of authoritarian group that's at high risk of souring into domestic terrorism and violence. They've got the right kind of apocalyptic theology, the all-powerful leaders, the thoroughly intimidated and dependent followers, the remote compounds, the political and business infrastructure, and a truly audacious contempt for the laws the rest of us live by."

If the goal here is to cause us to fear our government, they're doing a great job. Texas violated it's own statutes. Where was the immediate risk of serious physical harm required by law ? What reasonable efforts were taken to avoid removal ?
# 2,470:
WHERE IS ALL THE EVIDENCE?I HAVE NOT SEEN IT. WHERE ARE ALL THE VICTIMS?THE ONLY ABUSE I HAVE SEEN ARE FROM CPS WORKERS AND POLICE.HAPPY CHILDREN ARE NOT ABUSED CHILDREN.WHAT DO THE CHILDREN WANT? OR DOES ANYONE CARE.HOW DO THE CHILDREN FEEL ABOUT BEING TAKEN AWAY? DOES ANYONE BELEAVE THE MEDIA TELLS THE TRUTH ALL THE TIME? OR EVER.THE PAPERS AND MEDIA ONLY CARE ABOUT SELLING PAPERS NOT THE TRUTH.WHAT IS TRUTH? TRUTH IS HOW THINGS REALLY ARE. WERE OR ARE TO BE.IF YOU LISTEN TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU WILL HATE.CPS HAS BEEN LISTENING TO THOSE WHO DO NOT LIKE FLDS.CPS HAS BEEN BRAIN WASHED INTO BELIEVING LIES.IF YOU TELL A LIE BIG ENOUGH THEY WILL BELIEVE IT.WHY IS TEXAS PUNISHING THE MOTHERS I THOUGHT THEY WERE THE VICTIMES.IF ABUSE WAS REALLY HAPPENING THERE WOULD BE SO MUCH EVIDENCE WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE.

These children are pure and innocent and are being placed into a "snake pit". They need to be free to be with loving parents and to be raised according to their own beliefs. Among these children are my grandchildren and my heart is being torn out of me for them and their mothers. Take these children home--PLEASE!!!!!
# 2,468:
You all are nutbags!!!! Stop abusing your children, if they really are your children, Then maybe, just maybe, you will be able to see them again. My prayer to my God is that you are never allowed access to those precious babies, ever again
# 2,467:
Long live Warren Jeffs & the FLDS!!!!
# 2,466:
Texas, I pity you. Return those innocent children to their sweet families.
# 2,465:
The children are the inocents in this and they need to be represented but the lawyers, who are doing this gratis, by the way are being stymied at every turn by cps. how are these children being cared for? are they getting the proper medical attention? Why were the women and children taken out in the first place, weren't the men the object of this raid, where are they now?Send the women and children home, before these poor kids are scared for life.
# 2,464:
CPS dose not care about the children, they care about the money.
# 2,463:
I don't understand how a single anonymous phone call can bring about such drastic measures against such innocent children and such great mothers and fathers! Please return these children to their clean and perfect parents and homes. I will pray to the God of Heaven and Earth to bring about his sweet spirit to impress upon the minds of the authorities to bring those sweet, precious children home. What if it was your children?
# 2,462:
This is outrageous! Nothing of this sort should be allowed to happen in this country. The Governor of Texas needs to do something. I just visited the Lincoln Presidential Museum and the most egregious thing we did to the slaves was to separate families; selling children, mothers, and fathers off to different land owners. Their stories were heart wrenching, yet, how is this any different! Let the children go!!
# 2,461:
Reunite the mothers with their children!!!!

I pity the "CPS" people, they say they were "just doing their job". Do they realize that the roman soldiers were "just doing their job" when they crucified Our Lord? These CPS people tear these crying children from their mothers, can they feel no compassion? Are they totally heart-less? The soldiers knew they had done wrong, for the entire earth shook! The soldiers had the guilt of the evil they had done always with them. The cps people will have themselves to "live" with the rest of their lives, they will constantly hear the cries of these innocent children in their minds. I pray that the Lord will be merciful to all involved, He said "wo unto those that offend My little ones", & "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." These innocent people of YFZ do live Godly. Look at what they are enduring, would YOU stand and be at peace through this? The true Judge of all knows all things, only He can see our souls, and we ,all of us, know right and wrong.
# 2,458:
Please look at YOUR children, how much do you love them?
# 2,457:
Texas how can you believe the lies? Open your eyes. Its obvious! Look at the truth! FREE those innocent children and return them home back where they belong! WITH THEIR SWEET MOTHERS AND FAMILY!!! God bless those dear children to be FREE once again!!!!!!
# 2,456:
this is maddness!! you guys are going to be bankrupt after they get done with you< and rightly so!! if any of you had half a brain you would have stopped this before it started< or at least dropped it when the only "proof" you had turned out to be a FAKE!! give those damn kids back!!! you bunch of sick corrupt people!!, if your going to prosecute people make sure they're actually guilty of something!!!!!!!!!

YearningForZion.com will serve to demonstrate exactly how I feel about this violation of these people's rights! I put this website up, for the exact same reasons, that many of my fellow citizens, are signing this petition. We feel an injustice is being perpetrated on some of our fellow Americans. We feel that an uninvestigated hoax telephone call, made by someone two states away, isn't (under any reasonable definition)...true 'probable cause'. But, in fact was a pre-text to remove an entire community of people from the face of West Texas. It was a cruel hoax, perpetrated on innocent people, just trying to practice their religion, and live out their lives in peace. The State of Texas has violated literally hundreds of American citizen's basic Constitutional Rights...and it must NOT be allowed to stand!!! Visit YearningForZion.com, and speak out...

I am outraged that anyone who claims to be a public servant would participate in this gross display of tyranny. We may not agree with the lifestyle of these people, but no government has the right to kidnap 400 kids. Surely, the pain on suffering that has been caused is going to be immeasurable and will be felt for generations. I want to adamantly state my feelings that anyone that participated in this unAmerican act should be placed in prison for the rest of their lives.

To those for whom this petition was created and any others who may have participated in this catastrophic event: There are two great forces working against each other in this earth. The One controlled by attributes including: JUSTICE, JUDGMENT, MERCY AND TRUTH. The other controlled by selfishness, confusion, oppression and lies. Every waking hour you and I have opportunity to choose from these the source of our motivation. As a generation of people who KNOW the difference between good and evil, do we have the courage to seek THE RIGHT—even if it be at the expense of our very life? Can you not see that this horrific event is fueled by disaffected former members, the media, and a host of secret combinations that have covenanted to destroy innocence and purity? Some of your workers and investigators have seen the transparency of this crime thus responding with respect and care, but are soon removed and replaced with those that are careless and belligerent. Your intention is not to rescue the abused (for there are none), but to destroy the honest values of a happy, loving and industrious group of American citizens. Every man, woman and child in the FLDS Church, no matter what age, enjoys a perfect freedom of happiness and prosperity, loving God and one another; for that is life and it seems you are trying to take it away. Could you suffer this same event to come upon you or those whom you love? Study the Fate of the Persecutors. “If any man have an ear let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity. He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.” Revelation ch. 13 v 9-10 Trust me: THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH DOES NOT LIE!
# 2,452:
Motherhood- the mission of Angels on Earth. It is a God-given gift, a sacred entustment. Who else will fill that special place in a child's heart? God give these mothers courage, and strength to endure the senseless ripping apart of good families.
# 2,451:
If you honestly believe that there is some form of abuse going on within the walls of this ranch, there is no reason that can't be investigated with these children at home with their MOTHERS where they belong. The emotional damage that could be done to these children is equally as wrong. Send these children home!!!
