This lens is meant to get the word out about the raid on the YFZ, also known as Yearning For Zion, ranch in Eldorado, Texas and what has happened since then. The residents of the YFZ ranch are followers of FLDS leader, Warren Jeffs.

Breaking News - 5/29/08 

The Texas Supreme Court has just denied the appeal of Child Protective Services, meaning some of the children will be sent back to YFZ Ranch.

EDIT: Updated to reflect that decision technically only applies to 124 of the children, but it significantly impairs the state's position in the remainder of the cases.

About clickityclack

I am an attorney who discovered Squidoo in May and became instantly addicted. I suddenly have new lens ideas popping into my head every 30 seconds and notice certain things people say that would be great lens topics. Squidoo also led me to begin writing a blog on blogger as an additional outlet for my random thoughts. You can check it out HERE . As you can see from my lenses, I have a vast array of interests, but probably would count both music and sports at the top of list.
