Mothers of children removed from a polygamous compound in Texas are appealing to the governor of Utah for help.
The mothers, in a letter that says it's from Willie Jessop, are asking Gov. Jon Huntsman to intervene on their behalf. They're claiming Texas officials won't accept legal Utah birth certificates and driver licenses as identification.
The letter goes on to decry what Jessop describes as "blatant criminal acts and civil rights violations" and asks the governor to visit the ranch to see for himself so he can help put a stop to it.
The Governor's spokeswoman says he has read the letter and is reviewing the request.
