Today, a coalition of groups spearheaded by TEA Party Patriots, gathered at the state capitol's west side to loudly protest the new state Cap and Trade program. I saw some familiar faces, but not a lot. Generally some boisterous speeches, and displays of business freedom and anti big government materials.

I was a bit taken aback by some of the materials on one side of the event, and as you can see from the photos there was some definate drifting from business subjects to the extreme fringes of government conspiracies.

Some guy showed up and started making trouble, but was dispatched by the sargeant at arms of the event

The highlight for me was Assmeblywoman Shannon Grove's speech. I'll have that video up soon, but for now, enjoy the photos courtesy of Save Our State
