About 200 opponents of cap-and-trade legislation rallied outside Portland’s Keller Auditorium Nov. 18 ahead of Al Gore’s speech at the venue, and several dozen supporters of Al Gore’s message staged a counter-protest.
The anti-Gore demonstration, organized by Americans for Prosperity, included an appearance by that group’s president, Tim Phillips.
Vandals had spray painted anti-cap-and-trade slogans on the auditorium the night before Gore’s speech. The graffiti was cleaned up beore noon.
