YOUR STATE...YOUR GOVERNMENT...YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
As the wife of an active armed service member, Assemblywoman McHose was outraged to
learn of protests at funerals of American soldiers. "These brave men and women gave the
ultimate sacrifice for their country," said Alison. "These protests are disreputable, not only
because we should be lauding the service of these fallen troops, but
their families deserve to mourn in peace,"
Assemblywoman McHose's measure, which was signed into law by the Governor, makes protests within 500 feet of funerals a crime with jail time of up to six months and a $1,000 fine.
