Below I’ve listed links to writings that express concern about the way the state of Texas has dealt with the FLDS. Although one of the below entries is an actual petition, the remainder were not written as petitions but nonetheless do express significant concerns with the events in Texas. Of course, I don’t necessarily agree with all of the positions taken by these authors, but I think the discussion of public policy issues involved in this case is healthy. And, as this case progresses, I’ll continue to provide additional links for this “Virtual Petition”.
A few of the below are so significant to understanding the current FLDS case that I’ve marked them as “required reading”.

I posted here about the feelings in the Bitter Hinterlands about this case. We are wondering who is next to lose their children to an ever increasing Nanny State.
