Poly Legal Defense Fund

Seems like a good idea. I could do the technical side of a PLDF web page, but I would need help with the rest.

Anyone interested in getting a Poly Legal Defense fund started to defray legal costs of 'normal' polygamists being prosecuted?

Just curious of the feedback on this.

on the surface

On the surface it sounds like a good idea, and I perhaps would help to support it. However upon thinking of the details there arise some unanswered questions. How would such a fund be administrated? Who would administer it? How would it be decided who was to receive the help offered by this fund and who was not? What sort of protections can we provide ourselves from being ripped off, scrutinized by govt types, and perhaps being shut down or prosecuted for supporting illegal activity? These questions must be adressed before such an endeavor can take place. As I said in the beginning, I would support it, but some thought needs to go into this.

I think this is a very good idea. But to answer the questions from Silverwolf, the user, 'Miranda' is an attorney, you could ask her these questions. Although she is not in the US, she could steer us in the right direction. I am sure that if we asked around, we could find an attorney that would be willing to talk to us and help.
