Try to get in contact with a nearby branch of the Rolling Thunder veterans' motorcycle club. Because of their efforts to block the WBC from servicepeople's funerals, they have become something of experts on the subject.

Good luck, and bless all those doing this work.

So many people came to counter them and block them from disrupting the service that they chickened out and never showed up.

during the funeral of one of our local soldiers who died in Afghanistan. The Hell's Angels showed up from all over the state and lined the street where the cemetery was located with their bikes. WBC never got near the funeral site.

Unbelievable that they're going to show up in CT.

They have been blocking Westburo for years. On this, I am sure they would work with the occupy movement.
