Westboro Baptist Church must be stopped.

I don't know how or where to even start stopping this "church" from hurting these grieving families more.

This is America and we have the right to free speech, to protest and do so many things. I have never disliked that  right or any others before, but recently I wish it didn't exist. Our troops go to war and fight, they are called to duty and they go. They know before they ever sign those papers that their "job" may require their life and they do it anyway. They know that not everyone will agree with what they are doing. They don't ask to be heros, they just want to do their jobs. They don't "do it for the glory" so to speak, and when a solider is called to make that Ultimate sacrifice, it doesn't matter what your opinion is any more. It doesn't matter if you approve of our war or our nation. What matters is that solider died protecting this country that gives you those freedoms.

So when this group of Satan possessed "church" members dare to preach, that God hates soldiers, and that they "thank God for IEDs" It breaks my heart. They sound exactly like the terrorist we are fighting. They are celebrating the loss of life, they are harassing grieving families who are having to deal with the reality of no more Christmases, no more family dinners, no more hugs or laughter; of never being able to see that smile again, hear that voice. They don't need someone to come and spread their hate, they don't need some one there to tell them their child, brother, husband, father is going to burn eternally.

I am not sure what can be done "legally" and I am not sure anything can be done, but I strongly feel that something should be done to give these families peace, to give them the respect of a uninterrupted memorial.

If you have any ideas please let me know.
