ATTENTION PEOPLE OF UTAH AND ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK SHURTLEFF HOLDING CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS AND ARRANGING SECRET DEALS AFFECT OUR LIVES AND HOMES AND FAMILIES???……IT’S NOT RIGHT!!! WE, THE NON-FLDS RESIDENTS OF SHORT CREEK, HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR NEARLY 4 YEARS TO BRING A PEACFUL END TO THE TYRANNY AND THEOCRACY OF SHORT CREEK. UNLIKE OUR FLDS NEIGHBORS WE PAID OUR TAXES, OBEYED THE COURTS ORDERS AND OBEYED THE LAW. DESPITE OUR WILLINGNESS TO DO SO MARK SHURTLIFF HAS NOW CAVED IN TO POLITICAL PRESSURE AND HAS EXCLUDED OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES FROM REPRESENTATION AT THE TALKS. WHEN AGREEMENTS COULDN’T BE REACHED OTHER ATTENDING PARTIES WERE SENT HOME WHILE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL MET PRIVATELY WITH FLDS REPRESENTATIVES IN SECRET NEGOTIATIONS.

AG SHURTLIFF WE DON’T WANT TO BE REFUGEES. WE DON’T WANT TO BE FORCED OUT OF OUR HOMES AND COMMUNITY. WE HAVE NEVER ASKED ONE FLDS FAMILY TO MOVE FROM THEIR HOME. WE RECOGNIZE AND UNDERSTAND THEIR DESIRE TO LIVE IN THEIR HOMES AND WE HAVE RECOGNIZE THEIR RIGHT TO BELIEVE THE WAY THEY CHOOSE. AG SHURTLIFF - IT IS THE FLDS THAT DO NOT RECOGNIZE OUR RIGHT TO BELIEVE THE WAY IN WHICH WE CHOOSE. IT IS WE WHO ARE BEING THROWN OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF OUR BELIEFS, NOT VISA VERSA.

WE EMPLORE YOU TO SIMPLY DO THE RIGHT THING.

FLDS CONTROL OVER UEP MEANS FLDS CONTROL OVER LIVES! RELIGIOUS SEGREGATION IS ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN THE UNITED STATES!

THE STATE OF UTAH IS SUPPORTING A RELIGION OVER THE CONSTITUTION!! THE FLDS CHURCH HAS HAD SIX MONTHS IN WHICH TO FOLLOW THE COURTS OFFER OF REACHING A GLOBAL SETTLEMENT. AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR THEY ARRANGE FOR CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS EXCLUDING THOSE WITH COMPETING INTERESTS. IT’S NOT FAIR TO THOSE OF US WHO FOLLOW THE RULES OF LAW AND ABIDE BY THE COURTS WISHES. WE ARE NOT THE ONES TO RUSH TO THE BARGAINING TABLE AFTER ALL THE INTERESTED PARTIES HAVE GONE HOME -- IT WAS THE FLDS.

AG SHURTLIFF -- DON’T CAVE INTO POLITICS WHEN OUR HOMES AND FAMILIES ARE AT STAKE. GIVE US THE SAME CONSIDERATION THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN THE FLDS.
