      I hope this works but from what I have read they are scumbag lawyers who do this on purpose so they can wind people up and then sue them. If the Westboro Baptist Church is deemed a hate group whats to stop them from changing their name? Yes I think they are that pathetic rather than take the hint that america is tired of their hate spewing ways they would just change their name. Too bad we can’t deport them while we are at it

      I definitely think the government should be able to step in on this. Like someone mentioned below, they have a tax exempt status. And for what? So they can protest soldiers funerals or claim that the deaths of 20 children were a punishment because of gay marriage? Disgusting. They should be a hate group. There is nothing holy about them. They wanna preach hate? They should pay taxes.

      They’re calling themselves a church to continue to act the way they do without any ramifications. If someone doesn’t legally stop them, how else can you? There are ways around everything and they have found a loophole so it’s time for the rest of us to find another one.

      Petitioners should learn how commas are used. It’s not that hard.

      I signed this two weeks ago. It is not a religious organization in no way shape or form. All they do is prey on the weaknesses of others and its not right.

      These scumbags should not be tax exempt! This is to remove their tax exempt status and I hope it works!!
