You're Invited

I've been waiting for this for quite some time.

As many of you already know, I have a track record for speaking out against the Westboro Baptist Church. Well, they're coming to DC this Monday (3/30) to stage a protest at the White House, and a large group of GW students is planning a counter-protest. I urge all of you readers who are in the DC-metro area to come join us.

The protest is at the White House (1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) at 11:30am, and should last about half an hour according to the Facebook event page (feel free to join if you're on Facebook). For those of you in the GW community, there's going to be a sign-making party Saturday at 2pm on the fourth floor of the Marvin Center.

I can't stress how important this counter-protest is: if you go to only one while in DC, make it this one. The people of the Westboro Baptist Church are evil people who spread hate at our soldiers' funerals and who call for the execution of homosexuals and their families. And that's just the beginning. I know not everyone who reads this blog is liberal. But the good news is that you don't have to be liberal at all to completely disagree with these people and see how disgusting they truly are.

So I ask you: Join us, give up half an hour of your time, and show the world that love is stronger than hate.

See you there.
