HELP THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE BELIEVE STOP FRED PHELPS FROM SPREADING HIS MESSAGE OF HATE!!

Mr Fred Rogers was a GOOD MAN! He taught us how to love ourselves and each other, how to make crayons, and how our imaginations can take us anywhere. His passing away this winter was a great loss to children and grownups every where. We in the neighborhood of make believe miss him dearly, and we know you do too, Pittsburgh. There is another Fred who is coming to town this weekend who is NOT a good man. Please, PLEASE check out http://www.godhatesfags.com for more information on an evil man who does not know how to love himself, or other people (especially those who are different than he is), although I must say he certainly has QUITE an imagination!

This Friday (May 2nd), Saturday (May 3rd), and Sunday (May 4th), Fred Phelps will be in many places all over the city of Pittsburgh -- he is even going to try to get very close to us in the neighborhood of make believe, which makes us very, very sad -- and you can find below when and where he will be. On behalf of all our friends and neighbors here in Pittsburgh and EVERYWHERE, PLEASE show up at one or more of these places to tell Fred Phelps how much you loved Mr Rogers and how much you LOVE EACH OTHER -- well, except for horrible nazi fascists like Mr Phelps and his family -- use your imagination to express yourself the way the GOOD Fred taught you!!

Help us make it a beautiful day in this neighborhood!
Much Love,
Henrietta, Daniel, X, Lady Elaine, Mr McFeely, King Friday, Queen Sara, Prince Tuesday, and Joe Negrey.
