revoke frequent flier plans, and put members of WBC on no fly status

revoke frequent flier plans, and put members of WBC on no fly status

The Issue

For years Westboro Baptist Church has harassed people and organizations indiscriminately with a message of hatred. They spend $250,000 a year flying to picket the funerals of soldiers, violent deaths, and AIDS victims. They also bring their message of hate to schools, claiming that it is because the government supports gay rights. By doing this they rack up frequent flier miles which reduces their travel costs and gets them perks. If they are unable to fly or get reduced fare it will limit their ability to propagate hatred indiscriminately. Please stand up against this group who has been quoted as saying their mission is to "spread God's Hate - Shirley Phelps-Roper" and as airlines refuse them service because of them being a hate group.
