A last minute grass roots protest is trying to be organized by friends of the Alamo Ministry to raise public awareness about the state kidnapping of 19 children from the ministry, said a member of the Alamo Ministry.

Friends of Tony Alamo are trying to get people from all over the country to converge this week on Texarkana, Texas, where week-long hearings to determine the fate of the 19 children begins Monday.

The children were forcibly taken from their parents when the governent raided the Alamo Ministry in Arkansas last September. Since then the children have been kept under tight government control with the parents only allowed one hour visitation with their children every week.

Parents also claim their visits are monitored by camera “in a Nazi -like manner” and even told what can and cannot be discussed, adding any discussion about the upcoming hearings and Alamo are off limits or visitation rights takn away. Parents contend this is blatant abuse of their Constitutional rights on top of the abduction and kidnapping of their children.

“Hopefully we can get the protest organized to help raise awareness about what is going on,” said a member of Alamo’s Ministry.

“The Department of Human and Family Services is scheduled to testify for the first two or three days and then the parents will take the stand Thursday and Friday

“The web site to go to to learn more about the story is www.alamoministries.com or go to www.inquisitionupdate.org to listen to a leaked interview where one of the children told the state case workers absolutely no abuse existed.”

Since late September, Alamo has been held in federal detention without bail awaiting trial on charges he violated the Mann Act for illegally transporting young girls across state lines for illicit purposes. His trial is scheduled for February.

Alamo was arrested right after the Texarkana ministry was raided in Stormtrooper like fashion. Since then, 19 children, some still nursing babies, have been taken into government custody.To read the rest of this article subscribe now!
