Letter asks Bush to help FLDS kids

By Nancy Perkins

Published: May 11, 2008
A hand-delivered letter to President Bush at his Crawford, Texas, ranch asks the new father-in-law to intervene in the plight of hundreds of FLDS children and their parents.

The 10-page letter was written and delivered on Saturday by FLDS member Willie Jessop to staff members at Bush's ranch. The president and his family were at the ranch for daughter Jenna's wedding to Henry Hager.

"I was not there to make a political statement or to detract in any way from the wedding," said Jessop. "I just wanted to deliver the letter. Staff members for the president took the letter, read it, and we talked about its contents. It was a cordial, sensitive meeting. They were great and said they would get back to me."

The letter, which is also posted on the FLDS Web site — captivefldschildren.org — refers to the "current crisis in Texas" and outlines the actions Texas authorities recently took against 464 FLDS children and young adults living at or visiting the Yearning for Zion ranch near Eldorado, Texas.

Excerpt. Read the rest at source: Deseret News.

“The 10-page letter was written and delivered on Saturday by FLDS member Willie Jessop to staff members at Bush’s ranch”

If TMZ couldn’t get in there, how did Jessop?

Does someone here have the capability of posting this complete letter as an html file? I’d like to see it in its entirety without having to deal with pdf files...I HATE pdf files.
