WAKE-UP folks, do you want those renegades doing the same thing in your state that they did in Texas...

I know in America
we have freedom of speech and religion, however, we don't have freedom to hide crimes under religion,..
Rape, is Rape, is Rape,
Child abuse, is Child abuse...

Stop them before they get a toe hold...

The polygamists in Mexico don't want them because they say their polygamy is for grown adults plus I don't think they wear the prairie garb and some of the other things.

Neighbors in the scenic southern Colorado town of Westcliffe are fretting about property purchased there by a man connected to the leadership of the polygamous sect that was raided last month in Texas.

Custer County Assessor J.D. Henrich confirmed Thursday that Lee A. Steed, a senior official in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, bought a 5,800- square-foot house on 35 acres of land for $350,000 in 2006. He also bought another 85 acres last December for $428,900.

Steed last year also bought two homes in neighboring Fremont County, about 100 miles south of Denver.

Steed is a top aide to convicted FLDS leader Warren Jeffs, according to HateWatch, a nonprofit that bills itself as the organization "Keeping an Eye on the Radical Right."

Kathleen Kerr, owner of the home next door to the house bought by Steed in Westcliffe, the Custer County seat, told HateWatch that ATVs patrol the property and that she hears occasional gunfire.

People in Ky. don't take good to "outsiders"
If it is in a rural part of Ky. they will have trouble, because those people take care of things their own way.
They will not put up with males raping little kids.
