I would prefer to be there myself- but it is a bit of a drive from here and I do want to send a message to the parents and family of Evan. I pray that the family will know Americans do care and we think Phelps (*spit*) can pound sand. ( I really do not care for that guy.)
Hey lady - I was going to tell the FReeper involved to contact several folks.
First, since this is a small town, hopefully they have some rules as far as the necessity of having permits to gather. Other small towns have had success by granting permits for the IDIOTS at a location far away from the funerals. Contact the police and see if this can be done, or if they can be run out of town for lack of obtaining a permit if they don't.
Second, contact the local VFW and those in surrounding towns. There are a LOT of retired military folks out there who are very angry at this group and will show up to block the Phelps group from the vision of the grieving family of our hero.
Third, contact any biker groups that you know of locally -- a LOT of veterans are in bike clubs. (Motorcycle, I mean)
Fourth, whatever you do, do NOT promote violence against this moron who would deserve anything that could be dished out to him IMO. That's their MO. They want someone to do something to them that they can sue for. That's how they foot the bill to continue this disgraceful behavior.
Fifth, have someone who knows the family stay close by and watch the doors. In one instance, one of the TRAITORS walked right into the funeral home and gave a note to the mother of a fallen warrior. Make sure someone else reads the cards and letters that are left for the family BEFORE the family does to weed something like that out.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Mr. Silverback, can you ping your Kansas group to this??
BINO -- I believe his ordination was even revoked.
This breaks my heart. I'm so angry. Those who call themselves protesters, at a funeral are most vicious, heartless of people. The feelings inside of them are deadened, coldblooded or they are just plain evil. All they set out to do is to create more misery and pain of families who are already suffering and grieving. I wish I could go too.
Good advice Star.
Can you help?
Does anyone know how to contact the American Legion Riders? They did an excellent job down in Oklahoma counter-protesting these jerks... See this thread:
Bikers Disrupt Funeral Protest

Who has the number for Ted? There may be some Rolling Thunder guys around there.
Just a second
I'll look around.

*PING*...for support for this hero!
I sent this letter to every person I could contact from the Arkansas Chapter page on the website:
There is a visitation for a fallen warrior in your town today and a funeral tomorrow at the High School gym. Word has it that Fred Phelps and his gang of inbred idiots are going there to protest at the funeral. I am a regular poster at FreeRepublic.com and we are looking for any way possible to nitify folks who might be available and in the area who could go and keep the lunatics from bothering the grieveing family of our hero. Is there any way you can notify your chapter members?
For reference, the thread on FreeRepublic can be found here:

Thank you for anything you can do!

Thank you! I have written them an email detailing the situation. I also asked them to pass along the word if there are others they think should know... Hopefully, they will be able to contact people in the area who may be able to attend.
LOL... Well it can't hurt that they heard from both of us! (o:
Fred Phelps is a Democrat financial contributor and has run for office several times as a Democrat (even after Al Gore disavowed associating with him in the 1990s).
Fred Phelps ain't "one of ours". Whether he exists to smear religious conservatives or is another element of the hate filled left, I don't know. The KKK opposed Republicans until the 1920s when I guess it became bi-partisan. The prominent Klan members we know in the modern era: Sen Sheets Byrd and David Duke, were both Democrats, at least at one time.
Blame the media if you don't know what party he belongs to.
Lyndon LaRouche is also a hate filled Democrat. Not former Rat, he continues to seek the nomination of his party which he claims abandoned him.
I just sent an email to the contact listed for the national Rolling Thunder group. There are no chartered chapters in Kansas listed on their website, so I don't know if they'll be able to assist. Just thought I'd let you know I did send some word to the group. (o:
