By ABC7
December 27, 2012 (WASHINGTON)

The Kansas-based church is known for its pickets at soldiers' funerals.

The online petition asks the Obama administration to recognize Westboro as a hate group for its demonstrations against the military, gays and other religions.

The 250,000-signature petition makes it the most supported petition ever on the White House website.
