Tucson Tea Party Will Counter-Protest Westboro Cult

Gateway Pundit  "The Tucson Tea Party sent this out last night.They are planning to counter-protest the Westboro cult at the funeral of the Tucson shooting victims.
"This came after the Westboro cult announced that they will protest the funeral of Christina Green."
We ask everyone to make sure that our overall tone is civil and respectful in accordance with the serious and somber circumstances of the day. Do not allow yourself to be provoked and bear in mind that our presence is about the victim and her family and loved ones and not about political ideology. The family has also asked for no media, so preserving the privacy and dignity of the family is our highest priority.
Please adhere to the following code of conduct:
*Please be peaceful with all other attendees and possible protestors at all times
*This is a non-partisan gathering of many members of our community, so please refrain from political discourse
*Please do not wear any clothing that has logos for political, activist or community groups. It has been requested that our community members that will be at the funeral to support the family all wear white.
*Please do not pass out any literature or use this gathering as an opportunity to promote a group or individual or religious viewpoint
*Please do not bring any signs. This is not a rally or protest, and signs and banners are not appropriate for a funeral.
*Please do expect a diverse gathering of supporters for the family. The tragedy has brought our entire community together in unity to support the victims and their families.
