Westboro Baptist Church has made its mark by being as rude and disruptive as possible at military and other high profile funerals. The group is notorious for hating soldiers, gays, Jews, Obama, America and just about everything else. But now, Congress has a message for the divisive group masquerading as a church: ENOUGH!
Last week, Congress passed a sweeping veterans bill which will now restrict the type demonstrations Westboro is known for.
Introduced by Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) at the urging of a teenage constituent, “The Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012,” states that demonstrators will no longer be allowed to picket military funerals 2 hours before or after a service. The bill also requires protesters to be at least 300 feet away from grieving family members, who have been devastated in the past by the picket signs and protesters while they were trying to bury a fallen son or daughter.
As expected, President Obama immediately signed the bill into law.
