It's about time!

This should have been done the first time that a military funeral was disrupted, IMHO! Our military and military families should never have this happen, and at the worst time.

"Westboro Baptist Church protesters will soon be severely limited in their ability to disrupt military funerals, after Congress passed a sweeping veterans bill this week that includes restrictions on such demonstrations.
According to "The Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012," which is now headed to President Barack Obama's desk, demonstrators will no longer be allowed to picket military funerals two hours before or after a service. The bill also requires protestors to be at least 300 feet away from grieving family members."

God bless our military and their families! They take care of us and it's about time we take care of them by affording them a peaceful ceremony."

  1. I TOTALLY agree!! I find it very odd that it took this long, especially considering who the major players were that have overseen all this war crap.
