Hundreds of protesters waved signs and railed against big government today in what organizers billed as part of a cross-country tour.
The Tea Party Express Tour stopped in Las Vegas near Las Vegas Boulevard and Sunset Road and will eventually make its way to Washington, D.C. Organizers estimated 700 to 900 people attended.
The protesters rallied against what they see as big government — health care, deficit spending and bailouts.
Protester Teri Willis said she was there "because I love my country."
She said her son is a Marine and she does not trust Obama to keep him safe.
The tour's next stop is Flagstaff, Ariz.
