On Saturday, the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) organized what it called an uprising in Utah to protest a federal courts decision that struck down the states ban on same-sex marriage.
U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby struck down the ban, then upheld his ruling three days later, leading Utah conservatives to take extreme measures to oppose it.
The CSPOAs uprising consisted of a meeting in which a standing-room only crowd of same-sex marriage opponents watched PowerPoint presentations about the federal government overstepping its authority. Organizers and speakers claim that Governor Gary Herbert has failed the people of Utah, and that it is up to the sheriffs to take back the state from the homosexuals.
Former Graham County, Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack said that [t]he people of Utah have rights, too, not just the homosexuals. The homosexuals are shoving their agenda down our throats.
