Russ,
<But whats not ok is the abuse that's going on
in Colorado City.>
I agree with you.
<My plan
is to let these girls, who are being forced to wed and bare children at
a very young age, know that they have a choice.>
That sounds
great, but it's a goal, not a plan. A plan has steps to it, like this:
1)
Visit Colorado City to learn in-depth why what's happening is happening
so you can determine an approach.
2) Contact key people in the
media to inform them of the situation and ask them to cooperate in getting
the word out.
3) Contact Mohave County authorities (Colorado
City is in Mohave County, and the county has jurisdiction over child abuse
issues) and find out what they are doing, and give them any suggestions
or information you have.
...or something like that. So when
I ask you what your plan is, I'm asking you if you have an idea of specific
actions that you are going to take.
<I'm sure there are some
people in Colorado City who are against all of the abuse that is going
on, but maybe they are afraid of what might happen to them if they voice
there opinion. I'm gonna stand by those people who are against the abuse
and fight along there side.>
There are people who are residents
of the city, and some have spoken out against what's going on. If you
want to support someone, look for someone named Ross Chatwin. He lives
in Colorado City, and is actively opposing the oppressive conditions.
He would be a good person to support.
