Say another little prayer for the families affected by the Sandy Hook School shooting last week. It is a horrible thing to loose a child, and all the worse during a time of the year that is so full of love and joy.

It saddens the staff of Magic 96 as parents that there are people willing to cause these families more grief. WERC's Leah Brandon released this report today following the tragedy.

Petition To Recognize Westboro Baptist Church As A Hate Group

Users of the White House's "We the People" digital petition platform have flooded the site in support of an effort to officially designate the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group.

The petition was submitted on Dec. 14, the same day as the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. The Westboro "church" responded to the shooting by announcing its intent to picket the funerals of the 26 victims, including 20 young children.

This plan made them a target of the hactivist group "Anonymous" and started a counter-protest to block the "church" from disrupting the services of 26 that were killed.

The individual push has since received the support of over  250,000 signees, making it the most popular single petition ever created through the White House initiative.

Find and sign the petition here.
