Texas A&M Students Block Westboro Bapt...

On June 28, Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale, a Texas A&M alum, was killed during a training exercise at Fort Bragg by another solder who then shot himself. The Westboro Baptist Church, known for protesting soldier's funerals with anti-gay messages, posted plans to show up at Tisdale's funeral on their website.

A fellow "Aggie", Ryan Slezia, came up with a plan to create a human wall to block any protesters from getting near the funeral, and invited fellow Texas A&M students and alum to join. One participant tweeted that over 650 people showed up in maroon shirts to create a "maroon wall". It appears that the Westboro protestors never showed up.
"#MaroonWall at Central Baptist. No sign of Westboro .... hope they aren't too intimidated."
"God bless the #MaroonWall today protecting family of Lt Col Roy Tisdale class of '93 from protesters at his funeral."

Would you do me a favor please? Can you e-mail Katie Notopoulos and advise her our politicians in DC are delaying the release of the Nesara/Global Prosperity Packages? Enough money so that no man, woman or child that walks this Earth will worry about money again. No A&M student will have to worry about student loans or money for their future. And, of course, repeal of the Emergency War Powers Act and peace on Earth. No more funerals for our soldiers. Tell Katie to have the "Maroon Wall" send this to all students across our nation and merely let DC know that we know.
May God Bless
