Obama to sign bill to stop military protests at funerals

President Obama is set to sign a new bill that has just passed congress restricting the ability to protest at military funerals.

After years of dealing with the Westboro Baptist Church showing up at military funerals, a new veterans bill is looking to put an end to their antics. Earlier this week, Congress passed "The Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012."

The bill also notes that the protesters will have to be at least 300 feet away from the funeral and family members.
