Washington DC... Time To Boycott

To all of you who have started to take notice of my blog and write and comment for me, thank you so very much. But now I think its time that we start really picking up the pace and getting involved in our community. I want to make you all aware of, yet again, the Westboro Baptist Church. They are currently launching a campaign as of 3 days ago on the sides of Washington DC Buses with pictures of their hateful messages emblazoned on the side of the bus. Here are some of other buses already with the message on it (DC has not yet started running the ads):




Their blatantly offensive message will potentialy be endorsed and allowed by Washington Area Metro Transit Authority. And although all sides are free to say what they will, so are we!

First, Citizens in the DC area need to boycott the buses at all costs. You need to show them that you as decent citizens will not be party to such blatant hate speech.

Second, Everyone needs to get in contact with the parties involved and tell them about the horrible things they are doing:

Hi Sydney!

I am the Editor of www.AllAmericanDouheBag.com; a site focused on exposing Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church (Cult) for what they really are... Abusers. Thank you for contacting us! I am going to add your blog to the links section on our site and I hope you will add our site to your blog-roll as well. I seriously doubt that the WAMTA will allow Westboro Baptist Church (Cult) to advertise. Could you imagine all the other HATE GROUPS that would want to follow suit? I do believe that it's a great idea to to get as many people to sign this petition as possible. I will spread the word. I am going to add the article you posted on this matter inside a post I will write today. Let's keep in contact so we can work together!

I hope that WMATA will see the parallel in allowing Westboro Baptist Cults’ Hate Speech to an organization placing an ad that claims that “God Hates Jews”. What’s the difference? Hate Speech is Hate Speech.
