OKLAHOMA CITY - A local tea party group that has splintered from other tea party groups held a small gathering billed as a rally outside the Capitol on Thursday.
Sooner Tea Party drew less than 30 people to its event Thursday.
The group's leader, Al Gerhart, told the small crowd that the group spent $1,000 on radio advertising for the event.
The turnout was a far cry from the 5,000 who showed up to a similar event on April 15 two years ago outside the Capitol.
