I still perfer the method local churches here use for dealing with them. As soon as a church gets word that a protest is coming (and make no mistake, they advertise where they are going so they get media coverage), they start collecting pledges of how much money people will donate per minute the protest goes on. The total usually ends up being in the tens of thousands of dollars. Then the organizers of the pledge drive send a thank you note to the Phelps church along with a report of how much money they raised. Churches that have done this, have hoped Phelps and company would return, but they never do.
